This work “is partly an examination of the deep-seated causes (as distinguished from the accidental circumstances) which led to the denunciation of the Concordat, and partly an attempt to forecast the religious consequences of that extreme anti-clerical measure. In his treatment of the first half of his subject ... the author seems to us both lucid and just.... The second half of his volume is of a more speculative character. He fancies that he foresees ‘the advent of a new Catholicism’ and ‘the rising of new sap in the old religious trunk.’”—Lond. Times.

“Not an important contribution to the literature of the ecclesiastical controversy in France. The tone of the author is as polemical as the style of the translator is journalistic.”
