BALMES, JAIME LUCIANO (1810—1848) , See also:Spanish ecclesiastic, eminent as a See also:political writer and a philosopher, was See also:born at See also:Vich in See also:Catalonia, on the 28th of See also:August 181o, and died there on the 9th of See also:July 1848. Having attacked the See also:regent See also:Espartero and been exiled he founded and edited on his return the El Pensamiento de la Nacion, a See also:Catholic and Conservative weekly; but his fame rests principally on El Protestantismo comparado See also:con el Catolicismo-en See also:sus relaciones con la Civilisation Europea (3 vols., 1842-1844, 6th edition, 1879; Eng. trans. See also:London, 1849), an able See also:defence of Catholicism on the ground that it represents the spirit of obedience or See also:order, as opposed to Protestantism, the spirit of revolt or anarchy. From the See also:historical standpoint it is of little value. The best of his philosophical See also:works, which are clear expositions of the scholastic See also:system of thought, are the Filosofia Fondamental (4 vols., 1846, Eng. trans. by H. F. See also:Brownson, 2 vols. New See also:York, 1856), and the Curso de Filosofia Elemental (4 vols., 1847), which he translated into Latin for use in seminaries.
