Excerpt from The World's History, 1907, Vol. 8: A Survey of Man's Record Modena, Duke Francis IV. Of the Austrian house did away with the institutions Of the revolutionary period and brought back the old regime. The Society of Jesus stood at the helm. Modena, on account of the universal discontent, became a hotbed of secret societies.
