college shall be closed. No secondary ecclesiastical school shall be
placed in the country. In all places where there are ecclesiastical
schools the pupils of these schools shall pursue their studies in the
lycee or college classes."]

[Footnote 5188: "Correspondence of Napoleon (notes for the Minister
of Worship), July 30, 1806." In order to be cure of the first class,
chanoin, vicar-general or bishop one must henceforth be bachelor,
licencie, doctor in the university grades, "which the university may
refuse in case the candidate shall be known to entertain ultramontane
ideas or ideas dangerous to authority."]

the Minister of Worship, Oct.22, 1811, omitted in the "correspondence.")
The letter ends with these words: "This mode of working must be kept
secret."]

[Footnote 5190: "Histoire de M. Emery," by Abbe Elie Meric, II., p. 374.
The order of expulsion (June 13, 1810) ends with these words: "Immediate
possession is to be taken of the house which might belong to some
domain and which, at least in this case, could be considered as public
property, since it might belong to a congregation. If it is found to be
private property belonging to M. Emery or to any other person, the
rents might first be paid and then afterwards it might be required, save
indemnity, as useful for the public service." This shows in full the
administrative and fiscal spirit of the French State, its heavy hand
being always ready to fall imperiously on every private individual and
on all private property.]
