3 Auspitz's choice of ‘radical’ to describe that part of the middle-class French society which was anti-clerical and opposed to the regime of Napoleon III is unfortunate because of its connexion to the political party of that name. While a great many of the Ligue's membership were no doubt radicals, not all who adhered to the views she analyses in the first part were such.
