 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Henry IV
Henry of Bourbon appealed to France, through his letters to the clergy and the nobility (1 January, 1586); he attempted to gain the support of the Protestant princes of Germany, and resolved to try the fortune of arms.
Henry's foreign policy consisted in preserving peace to allow France time to strengthen her finances and her army; he negotiated with the Low Countries against Spain, and with the Protestant princes of Germany against the empire, but without going the length of open hostilities.
Henry IV, however, contributed towards it, owing to the influence of Père Coton, by favouring the work of the Jesuits, who, although they had been banished by a decree of the Parlement of Paris, were left undisturbed in the districts under the jurisdiction of the Parlements of Bordeaux and Toulouse.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Bl. Marie de l'Incarnation
Pierre Acarie was one of the staunchest members of the League, which, after the death of Henry III, opposed the succession of the Huguenot prince, Henry of Navarre, to the French throne.
After the dissolution of the League, brought about by the abjuration of Henry IV, Acarie was exiled from Paris and his wife had to remain behind to contend with creditors and business men for her children's fortune, which had been compromised by her husband's want of foresight and prudence.
In addition she was afflicted with physical sufferings, the consequences of a fall from her horse, and a very severe course of treatment left her an invalid for the rest of her life.

 Napoleon, and No End (The Nation, August 24, 1893)
The two books which are being discussed in this article are "1814" and "1815." It is informed that after dabbling a bit on Hellenism, Houssaye devoted himself fully to the study of the downfall of Napoleon.
He worked in the modern fashion, trying to forget all that had been written on the subject and searching for original documents in the rich archives of the Foreign Office and the unexplored archives of the War Department.
It is opined that Houssaye, in both of the above mentioned books, has used his documents artfully and has thrown as much light as he could into the notes which the general public may read and has not overburdened himself in his narrative.

 NCAW Spring 05 | Alan C. Braddock reviews From Homer to the Harem
Given the crowds attending Salon exhibitions during his early years, as well as a growing sense of marginality later in his career, Lecomte du Nouÿ undoubtedly found such effects to be quite useful and necessary.
In this light, it is intriguing to note the observations made by nineteenth-century critic Henry Houssaye in a review of Lecomte du Nouÿ's The Madness of Ajax the Telamonian (La Folie d'Ajax le Télamonien) (ca.
According to Houssaye, writing that year in L'Artiste, "The bluish glimmer that envelops her [the figure Athena in the work] gives her the diaphanous aspect of a specter.

 Maurice Ravel
The Basque region is known for the sport of pelota, bullfighting, and a tradition of witchcraft and demonology.
In 1608 Pierre de Lancre, a judge from Bordeaux, was named by Henri IV to investigate the troubling abundance of witches that "contaminated" the Basque country.
Ravel was very Basque in his use of sorcery as sexual camouflage, returning obsessively to the theme of witchcraft as a source of inspiration.

 Rodin works
The Monument to Balzac originally was commissioned to the sculptor Henri Chapu.
When Chapu died in 1891, his work still unfinished, Emile Zola, the new president of Societé des Gens de Lettres, set all wheels in motion so that Rodin was invited as a candidate.
The sculpture was associated with an erected phallus; other reactions interpreted the 'Balzac' as Narcissus, masturbating under his protecting coat, or as a "colossal foetus", a "German larva", or simply as a "heap of plaster".

 Evangeline, Longfellow’s poem
Evangeline is an 1847 epic poem by American writer Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; it also is the name of the poem’s heroine, who in Cajun Louisiana has taken on mythological status.
Longfellow’s work was loosely based on the 1755 expulsion of the Acadians from Nova Scotia (known as Le Grand Dérangement), the arrival of some of those Acadians in south Louisiana, and their efforts to find loved ones from whom they were separated.
In Louisiana, Longfellow’s story was transformed by French Creole educator and writer Madame Sidonie de la Houssaye into the French novel Pouponne et Balthazar (1888), in which Evangeline and Gabriel were reinvented as upper-class French Creoles who frowned on their Acadian neighbors.

 Artist Biography - Rehs Galleries, Inc.
Henry Houssaye said in 1882: “Impressionism receives every form of sarcasm when it takes the names Manet, Monet, Renoir, Caillebotte, Degas; every honor when it is called Bastien-Lepage, Duez, Gervex, Bompard, Dantan, Goeneutte, Butin, Mangeant, Jean Béraud, or Dagnan-Bouveret.” There is cause for this different estimate.
The latter painters have a nicety of finish, a delicacy of treatment wholly unknown to the former, which they carry out under the impressionist’ doctrine of light and color.
But at the same time, the latter Société was effectively driven by Bouguereau and Cabanel, certainly not avant-garde artists in the least.
