Papers of David Urquhart : 1M - Correspondence

I M: D.U. AND CATHOLIC SOCIAL REFORM ORGANISATIONS: 1871- 9

(bulk 1871-2, 1874-9). The letters in I M relate to Catholic efforts for social reform of attitudes rather than efforts for an improvement in the standard of living. Only IM 23 suggests an interest by D.U. in living and working conditions. D.U. was connected with two Catholic societies: the "Union de la Paix Sociale" established by Le Play (Le P.) and the "Oeuvre Apostolique" promoted by Abbe Defourny and Pere Jullion. The "Union de la Paix Sociale" was designed to bring about internal union in France. Both societies were in favour of encouraging the establishment of a "Law of Nations."

For other correspondence re "Law of Nations" see: I K and I L.

For pamphlets connected with Catholic efforts for social reform see: III 24.
