His See also:preconization followed on the 8th of See also:January 1866

In 1872 the archbishop protested against the demand of the See also:government that religious teaching should be given only in the German See also:language, and in 1873 he addressed a circular See also:letter on this subject to the See also:clergy of his See also:diocese
.
The government thereupon demanded a statement from the teachers of See also:religion as to whether they intended to obey it or the archbishop, and on their declaring for the archbishop, dismissed them
.
The See also:count himself was called upon at the end of 1873 to See also:lay aside his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")

LEDRU-See also:ROLLIN, See also:ALEXANDRE AUGUSTE (1807-1874), See also:French politician, was the See also:grandson of See also:Nicolas Philippe Ledru, the celebrated See also:quack See also:doctor known as " See also:Comus " under See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis XIV., and was born in a house that was once See also:Scarron's, at Fontenay-aux-See also:Roses (See also:Seine), on the 2nd of February 1807

He had just begun to practise at the Parisian See also:bar before the revolution of July, and was retained for the Republican See also:defence in most of the See also:great See also:political trials of the next ten years
.
In 1838 he bought for 330,000 francs See also:Desire Dalloz's See also:place in the See also:Court of Cassation
.
He was elected See also:deputy for Le Mans in 1841 with hardly a dissentient See also:voice; but for the violence of his electoral speeches he was tried at See also:Angers and sentenced to four months' imprisonment and a See also:fine, against which he appealed successfully on a technical point
.
He made a See also:rich and romantic See also:marriage in 1843, and in 1846 disposed of his See also:charge at the Court of Cassation to give his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)
- TIME, MEASUREMENT OF
- TIME, STANDARD
time entirely to politics
.
He was now the recognized See also:leader of the working-men of See also:France
.
He had more authority in the See also:country than in the Chamber, where the violence of his See also:oratory diminished its effect
.
He asserted that the fortifications of See also:Paris were directed against See also:liberty, not against See also:foreign invasion, and he stigmatized the See also:law of regency (1842) as an audacious usurpation
.
Neither from See also:official Liberalism nor from the See also:press did he receive support; even the Republican See also:National was
opposed to him because of his championship of labour
.
He therefore founded La Reforme in which to advance his propaganda
.
Between Ledru-Rollin and Odilon See also:Barrot with the other chiefs of the " dynastic See also:Left " there were acute See also:differences, hardly dissimulated even during the temporary See also:alliance which produced the See also:campaign of the banquets
.
It was the speeches of Ledru-Rollin and Louis See also:Blanc at working-men's banquets in See also:Lille, See also:Dijon and Chalons that really heralded the revolution
.
Ledru-Rollin prevented the appointment of the duchess of See also:- ORLEANS

.
He and Lamartine held the See also:tribune in the Chamber of Deputies until the Parisian populace stopped serious discussion by invading the Chamber
.
He was See also:minister of the interior in the provisional government, and was also a member of the executive See also:committee r appointed by the Constituent See also:Assembly, from which Louis Blanc and the extremists were excluded
.
At the crisis of the 15th of May he definitely sided with Lamartine and the party of See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order against the See also:proletariat
.
Henceforward his position was a difficult one
.
He never regained his See also:influence with the working classes, who considered they had been betrayed; but to his See also:short See also:ministry belongs the See also:credit of the See also:establishment of a working See also:system of universal See also:suffrage
.
At the presidential See also:election in December he was put forward as the Socialist See also:candidate, but secured only 370,000 votes
.
His opposition to the policy of See also:President Louis See also:Napoleon, especially his Roman policy, led to his moving the See also:impeachment of the president and his ministers
.
The See also:motion was defeated, and next See also:day (See also:June 13, 1849) he headed what he called a peaceful demonstration, and his enemies armed insurrection
.
He himself escaped to See also:London where he joined the executive of the revolutionary committee of See also:Europe, with See also:Kossuth and Mazzini among his colleagues
.
He was accused of complicity in an obscure See also:attempt (18J7) against the life of Napoleon III., and condemned in his See also:absence to See also:deportation
.
Emile 011ivier removed the exceptions from the See also:general See also:amnesty in 187o, and Ledru-Rollin returned to France after twenty years of See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile
.
Though elected in 1871 in three departments he refused to sit in the National Assembly, and took no serious See also:part in politics until 1874 when he was returned to the Assembly as member for See also:Vaucluse
.
He died on the 31st of December of that year
.
Under Louis Philippe he made large contributions to French See also:jurisprudence, editing the See also:Journal du palais, 1791–1837 (27 vols., 1837), and 1837–1847 (17 vols.), with a commentary Repertoire general de la jurisprudence fran¢aise (8 vols., 1843–1848), the introduction to which was written by himself
