Excerpt from Catholicism and the Second French Republic, 1848-1852 This study in nineteenth-century French history had its origin in a seminar conducted by Professor Charles D. Hazen on the Second French Republic, Which the author attended during the year 1918-1919 at Columbia Univer sity. It is an attempt to show the political in¿uence which the Catholics wielded during the years 1848-1852, their in terest in the social questions that were then agitating France, their cooperation with the moderates for the establishment of a stable republic, their fear of the social peril and reaction against it, and finally the attempt of Louis Napoleon to capture their support for the furtherance of his ambi t-ions.
