Book excerpt: Excerpt from New Americanized Encyclopaedia Britannica, Vol. 4 of 10: A Dictionary of Arts, Sciences, and Literature, With Many Articles by Special Writers, Fully Illustrated and Revised Throughout to Date, With Over One Hundred Colored Maps; D'anville-Franciabigio Darboy, georges (isi3 - I87I), Archbishop of Paris, was born at fayl-billot in Haut Marne. He was appointed Bishop of Nancy in 1859, and in January, 1863, he was raised LO the archbishopric of Paris. The favor of the court was indicated by his appointment to the post of grand almoner to the emperor, in 1866, and to that of grand officer to the Legion of Honor in 1868. The archbishop was a strenuous upholder of episcopal independence in the Gallican sense, and ln volved himself in a controversy with Rome by his endeavors to suppress the jurisdiction of the Jesuits and other religious orders within his diocese. At the Vatican Council he vigorously maintained the rights of the bishops, and Offered a decided opposition to the infallibility dogma, against which he voted as inoppor tune. When the dogma had been finally adopted, how ever, he was one of the first to set the example of sub. Mission.
