revolution of February?

[edit]

"Some hopes of employment which he had after the revolution of February..." What "revolution of February"? This is talking about 1830. The July Revolution was that year. Had something I don't know about happened in February? The only February revolution I can think of in 19th-century France is 1848. I'm guessing someone got confused. Unless someone tells me I'm wrong in the next 72 hours, I will edit accordingly. -- Jmabel 07:13, Sep 12, 2004 (UTC)

No answer, so I will reword to not need this phrase. -- Jmabel 06:32, Sep 16, 2004 (UTC)

[edit]

It would be useful for someone with subject knowledge to tackle this passage:

"He was dismissed in 1846 by the Collège de France due to his adamant attacks on the Roman Catholic Church, exaltation of the revolution, and support for the oppressed nationalities of France and for supporting the theory that religion is a determining force in societies.[7]"

That last bit is unclear and even seems out of context for a 21st century reader, inconsistent with the rest of the sentence. What did he mean that "religion is a determining force in societies" and why was that part of the objection to him by established institutions? Random noter (talk) 00:33, 21 February 2019 (UTC)Reply
