* JULITTS. 327 JULY KEVOLUTIOJT. in Italy. In pursuance of liis designs, he entered into the League of Canibrai (1508) with the Emperor JIaxiniilian, Louis XII. of France, and Ferdinand ol Aragon ; later, when the immediate purpose of the league had been attained, fearing the ambitious designs of Louis, he withdrew and entered an opposite alliance, the Holy League. Louis attempted to force the Pope to call a gen- eral council for the reform of the Church, and actually had a synod convoked at Pisa in 1511, with tlie cooperation of some disaffected car- dinals. Julius replied by calling the fifth Lateran Council. (See L.vtekax Council.) The Holy League finally triumphed over France in Upper Italy, and Bologna. Eeggio, Parma, and Piacenza ■nere assured to the Papal Government; but death interrupted the further plans of Julius to break the Spanish power in Italy as well. On the whole, if less concerned with spiritual affairs than his office demanded, he had the qualities of a great statesman and general, and was also a liberal and judicious patron of the fine arts.

A fluted column of bronze, on the Place de la Bastille in Paris, dedicated on July 28, 1840, to the "French citizens who fought for the defense of the public liberties on the memor- able days of the 27th, 28th, and 29th of .July, 1830." The column rests on a round base of white marble. Its square basement bears the inscrip- tion, a lion in relief by Barye, the armorial bear- ings of the city, and the dates of the conflicts. Four bands encircle the column, bearing the names of the 615 who fell in the Revolution. Their remains, together with those of the victims of the Revolution of 1848, are contained in the vaults beneath the column. In 1871 the Com- munists attempted to blow up the column by means of explosives stored in the vaults, and in the sewer beneath, but were imsuccessful. The top of the column, 154 feet above the Place, com- mands a fine view of the surroiuiding neighbor- hood. JULY REVOLUTION. The revolution of July, 1830, in Paris which overthrew the Bourbon dynasty- and brought the House of Orleans in the person of Louis Philippe to the throne of France. The policy of reaction following the Restoration, prominent during the reign of Louis XVIII. (1814-24). had become triumphant under his successor, Charles X.. the creature of the cleri- cal faction and the extremists. The royalists vere indemnified for their losses during the Revo- lution, the Jesuits made formidable attempts to regain their legal position in France, public edu- cation was under clerical supervision, and vig- orous measures were enacted against the liberty of the press. Forced for the moment to accept a moderate Ministry under ilartignae (1828), Charles X. boldly challenged liberal opinion in the country by calling to the head of affairs Count .Tules Polignae. noted as the most bigoted of the advisers of the King (August 9. 1829). Early in Jlarch, 1830. the French Chambers as- sembled, and the Lower House, in its answer to the speech from the throne, demanded the im- mediate dismissal of the new ^linisters. There- upon the Chambers were first prorogued for six months and then dissolved, but the new elections only increased the numbers of the opposition. Suddenly, on ,Tuly 26th, a few days before the new legislature was to assemble, edicts were pro- mulgated suspending the liberty of the press, de- claring the elections null and void, and prescrib- ing various changes in the franchise, which would
