(Circular addressed to the rectors by Monseigneur Freyssinous immediately after his installation：) "In summoning a man of sacerdotal character to the head of public instruction， His Majesty has made all France well aware of his great desire to have the youth of his kingdom brought up in monarchical and religious sentiments. . . . Whoever has the misfortune to live without religion， or not to be devoted to the reigning family， ought to be sensible of what he lacks in becoming a worthy instructor of youth. He is to be pitied and is even culpable." - "Ambroise Rendu，" by Eug.

On this occasion he sacrificed the law."[14] Liard， ibid.， p.837. After 1820， "a series of measures are passed which， little by little， give back its primitive constitution to the University and even end in incorporating it more closely with power than under the Empire.

[25] Act of Nov. 9， 1818. (Down to 1850 and after， the University so arranged its teaching (in high school) as not to come in conflict with the clergy on the debatable grounds of history. For example， at the end of the 8th grade the history of the Roman Empire after Augustus was rapidly passed over and then， in the 9th grade， they began again with the invasion of the barbarians. The origins of Christianity and the entire primitive history of the Christian Church were thus avoided. For the same reason， modern history ended in 1789.
