In the revival movement France held a foremost place, owing to the reputation and convincing power of the orator, Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire ( 1802 – 1861 ).
He took the habit of a Friar Preacher at Rome ( 1839 ), and the province of France was canonically erected in 1850.
From this province were detached the province of Lyon, called Occitania ( 1862 ), that of Toulouse ( 1869 ), and that of Canada ( 1909 ).
The French restoration likewise furnished many laborers to other provinces, to assist in their organization and progress.
From it came the master general who remained longest at the head of the administration during the 19th century, Père Vincent Jandel ( 1850 – 1872 ).
Founded in 1805 by Father Edward Fenwick, afterwards first Bishop of Cincinnati, Ohio ( 1821 – 1832 ), this province has developed slowly, but now ranks among the most flourishing and active provinces of the order.
In 1905, it established a large house of studies at Washington, D. C., called the Dominican House of Studies.
