Count de Montalembert - from a photograph by Maull and Polyblank, 1858. Creator: Unknown
Count de Montalembert - from a photograph by Maull and Polyblank, 1858. Charles Forbes de Montalembert joined with M. de Coux and the Abbe Lacordaire in opening and establishing in Paris a free school for public instruction, denominated the Ecole Libre. Their opposition to the existing Powers brought them before the Police Correctionelle, who ordered the school to be closed...[and] he had the mortification of finding himself sentenced to pay a fine of 1000 francs...After the coup d'etat of December, 1851, and the confiscation of the patrimonial estates of the house of Orleans, the Count, who till then had sided with Louis Napoleon, declared against him; and, having been re-elected a member of the Corps Legislatif, from 1852 to 1857 he was the only member of that body who protested on every occasion against the Imperial policy...The article of the Count lately published in the Correspondant, entitled "A Debate on the Indian Mutiny, "-which has called down upon him the terrors of a prosecution by the French Government, and for which he is this week undergoing his trial-having been translated into English, and reprinted in many of our daily and weekly papers, we need not do more than make a passing allusion to it here'. From "Illustrated London News", 1858
