.CHARLES X, 1824-1830, belongs to a much later day, but something of the ill-fame which attaches to the name is his also. He was a belated man of the Middle Ages who—even after the French Revolution—believed in the " divine right of kings," and even declared that he could heal the sick by the touch of his royal hand. His one ambition was to " restore the clergy to its former high position in the state, to create a powerful aristocracy, and to surround it with privileges." The fulfilment of this ambition would mean the loss by the people of even such remnants of liberty as remained to them from the Revolution, so they refused tamely to submit. When Charles en deavored arbitrarily to change the laws and to deprive the people of the freedom of the press, they rose in revolution in Paris a second time. As a result of the " three glorious days," July 26-28, 1830, Charles X fled to England, and the Bourbon kings ceased forever to rule in France.
