Napoleon III funeral and French political currents
Last Wednesday Napoleon III was laid to rest in a quiet funeral attended by French notables and a large crowd. The Empress and her son held a levée at Camden House, a touching scene as mourners offered silent sympathy. Amid sparse public reverence in Paris, hopes for a Bonapartist revival faded. Prime issues in France include Thiers's conflicts with the Committee of Thirty and a mounting budget deficit. Morley and colleagues propose education Act amendments to expand national schooling with secular boards and restricted denominational funding. Bright’s letter to Birmingham constituents signals ongoing Liberal concerns about county representation and the land question.
