See also:ROYLE
he was in danger of his See also:life

In 1797 he was returned by his department (Marne) to the See also:Council of the Five See also:Hundred, where he allied himself especially with Camille See also:Jordan

time until the Restoration Royer-Collard devoted himself exclusively to the study of See also:philosophy

.
Royer-Collard's See also:acceptance of the Legitimist principle did not prevent a faithful See also:adhesion to the social revolution effected in 1789, and he protested in 1815, in 1820, and again under the monarchy of See also:July against See also:laws of exception
.
He was the moving spirit of the " See also:Doctrinaires," as they were called, who met at the See also:house of the comte de Ste Aulaire and in the See also:salon of Madame de See also:Stael's daughter, the duchesse de See also:Broglie
