| CHAPTER I. | |
| OUTLINE OF THE HISTORY OF THE FRENCH INTELLECT FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY TO THE ACCESSION TO POWER OF LOUIS XIV. | |
| PAGE | |
| Importance of the question, as to whether the historian should begin with studying the normal or the abnormal condition of society | 1–3 |
| Greater power of the church in France than in England | 4 |
| Hence in France during the sixteenth century everything was more theological than in England | 6–8 |
| Hence, too, toleration was impossible in France | 9–11 |
| But at the end of the sixteenth century scepticism appeared in France, and with it toleration began, as was seen in the Edict of Nantes | 11–15 |
| The first sceptic was not Rabelais, but Montaigne | 15–18 |

| This liberal policy on the part of the government was only part of a much larger movement | 76–77 |
| Illustration of this from the philosophy of Descartes | 77–92 |
| Analogy between Descartes and Richelieu | 92–93 |
| The same anti-ecclesiastical spirit was exhibited by their contemporaries | 93–95 |
| And by Mazarin | 96–98 |
