DANIEL, CHARLES. - Jesuit, writer, b. at Beauvais on 31 Dec. 1818; d. at Paris on 1 Jan. 1893. In 1857, with the collaboration of Fr. Ivan Gagarin, he founded the periodical Etudes de théologie et d'histoire and directed it until 1870, when he was prevented from doing so by his weakened eyesight.

In addition to the many articles he contributed to the journal, worthy of mention are also: Des études classiques dans la société chrétienne (Paris 1853) in defense of classical studies against the exaggerated assertions of the abbé G. Gaume; Histoire de la b. Marguér. Marie et des origines de la dévotion au S. Coeur (ibid. 1865); Les jésuites instituteurs de la jeunesse française au XVIIe et XVIIIe siècle (ibid. 1880). A collection of his important writings, preceded by a biography, was published under the title: Questions actuelles : Religion, Philosophie, Histoire, Art et Littérature (ibid. 1895).
