Excerpt from The History of Civilization, Vol. 1: From the Fall of the Roman Empire to the French Revolution It is well known that prior to 1789, the Doctrinaires were an educational body. M. Royer-collard had been educated in a college of Doctrinaires, and in the debates of the Chamber his Iogical and lofty understanding always impelling him to sum up the question in a dogmatical form, the word doctrine was often upon his lips, so that one day a wag of the royalist majority cried out, Vozld bien les doctrinaires! The phrase took, and remained as a definition, if not clear, at all events absolute, of the political fraction directed by royer-collard. Let us now explain the origin of that famous canap??? de la doctrine, which awakens ideas as vague as the divan of the Sublime Porte. One day, Count Beugnot, a doctrinaire, was asked to enumerate the forces of his party. Our party, he replied, could all be accommodated on this canap???, (sofa) This phrase also was successful, and the changes were rung on it to such a degree that the multitude came to regard the doctrinaires as a collection of individuals, half-jesuits, half epicureans', seated like Turks, upon downy cushions, and pedantically discoursing about public affairs.
