[edit] Deleted sentences

During the French Revolution the Académie Royale des Sciences at Paris was reorganised and "cleansed" of the influence of "nobility" (see:Reign of Terror, Antoine Lavoisier). Two members of the lodge, Antoine Laurent de Jussieu and Gilbert Romme, in collaboration with Henri Grégoire, helped to organise a "Société Libre des Sciences, Belles Lettres et Arts", to subsidize what had become the "Institut de France" and to keep the original influence of the "Neuf Sœurs" intact (Hahn, 1971).

These sentences did not seem to fit where they were, so I've moved them here. Anyone who knows the subject better than I is invited to rewrite and reinsert them. PRRfan 17:34, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Hard work, is it not ?

Easy enough to plop sentences back into the article, a bit more effort to actually fit them into the chronology and clean up their wikilinks. -- PRRfan (talk) 17:49, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

To each his expertise.

From 1789 -the start of the French Revolution- till 1792 the lodge became a Société Nationale. You have "censored" this information.

By no means was the lodge "turned into" the Société Libre... Two lodge members collaborated with the Société and were influential in effect. Subsidising the Institute through the Société was a public -patriotic- venture.

The reference to Hahn, 1971 is there for a reason.

Please be carefull -specially when you do not know your subject all that well.

Best regards,

Fair enough; just about all I know about Les Neuf Soeurs I learned from this article -- evidence enough that several of its sentences remain unclear. Please fix them, lest you leave the next poor soul as confused as I. ("Censored," by the way, means "removed as objectionable," not merely deleted.) PRRfan (talk) 01:56, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
