Monarchist Quote

Today's quote is from the great French novelist, Honoré de Balzac, author of La Comédie humaine, an multi-volume collection of interlinked novels and stories depicting French society in the period of the Restoration (1815–1830) and the July Monarchy (1830–1848).

 From The Mad Monarchist (15 January 2013)

 
“I write by the light of two eternal truths: religion and monarchy, those twin essentials affirmed by contemporary events, and towards which every intelligent author should seek to direct our country.”
-Honoré de Balzac, 1842

    The date of this quote is the year my own French ancestors
    emigrated to the States. I wonder what/why they may have been leaving during this period in France??
