Synopsis

Excerpt from The Church and Modern Society, Vol. 2: Lectures and Addresses The Statue of the Marquis de La Fayette, which graces the "Place du Carrousel," in Paris, was unveiled the fourth day of July, 1900. The statue was an offering of the people of the United States, in token of their gratitude to France for the services given by that country to the patriots of the Revolutionary War. The erection of the statue was first proposed by Mr. Robert J. Thompson, of Chicago. The project was warmly approved by Air. Ferdinand W. Peck, General Commissioner of the United States to the French Exposition of 1900, who made it an important part of his work in Paris. A Commission, composed of distinguished American citizens, lent their willing co-operation to Mr. Peck. The burden of the details was borne by Mr. Thompson, who served as Secretary of the Commission. The sculptor chosen to design the statue was Mr. Paul W. Bartlett. The cost of the monument was defrayed by the voluntary contributions of the children of the schools, public and private, of the United States, and by a generous appropriation from the National Congress.
