Montgaillard, Jean Jacques de, a French monastic, noted as a writer on religious topics, was born in 1G33 at Toulouse, and early entered the Dominican order in his native place. He died there March 21, 1711. He is the author of a curious work entitled, Mon- umei!/(t Cotirrufus Tolosani ordinis F. F. Pnedicatorum (Toul. 1G03, fol.), which contains much valuable mate- rial for the history of the Inquisition in that district of France. Himself a devoted Romanist, and believing the harshest measures of the Inquisition justifiable in
behalf of religion, he does not withhold anything, how- ever barbarous or outrageous, and his work contains many a page presenting a most ghastly spectacle of in- humanity perpetrated by misguided fanatics. — Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, xxxvi, 2G5.
Montgaillard, Pierre Jean Francois de, a French prelate, brother of tlie preceding, was born at Toulouse, March 29, 1G33, and was educated at Paris, where he entered the Sorbonne, by which high school ' he was created doctor. He entered holy orders, and soon rose to positions of ecclesiastical distinction. In 1GG4 he was made bishop of Saint-Pons, and distin- guished himself by great liberality of sentiment as well as religious devotion. He was one of the nineteen bish- ops who signed a petition to pope Clement IX for the pardon of the bishops of Alet, Passiers, Beauvais, and Angers, who had opposed the doctrines espoused in the papal bull issued by Alexander YII to defend the Jesu- its and their tenets and practices. He also afterwards defended persecuted ecclesiastics against the Jesuits, whose immorality he unhesitatingly denounced. He was so severe that he was branded as a Jansenist, but there is proof extant that he freed himself from the im- putation of disloyalty to the Church of Rome. He died March 13, 1713. He was well versed in archaso- logical studies, and noted for his valuable attainments in ancient ecclesiastical history. His works are of a controversial nature, and of value only to those inter- ested in the Jansenist controversy. A list of them is given by Hoefer, A^ouc, Biog. G«ieraZe, xxxvi, 265, 266.

After remaining there two years, he entered the general the- ological seminary at New York. He was ordained for the holy ministry by bishop Alonzo Potter, and in 18-16 assumed charge of All-Saints' Church of Philadelphia, then a small organization. His labors were very suc- cessful ; the Church-membership rapidly increased, and the pastor became highly respected and beloved. In 1855 he received and accepted a call to the Church of the Incarnation of New York, which was an offshoot of and dependent upon Grace Church, and which worship- ped in the edifice at the corner of Madison Avenue and Twenty-eighth Street. During the earlier years of his ministry in New York he was able to separate his church from Grace Church; and so efficient and satis- factory was his work that in 1864 a new church build- ing was erected at IMadison Avenue and Thirty-fifth Street, His labors were identified with it until his sud- den decease, Oct. 15, 1874. Dr. Montgomery was a man of acknowledged ability, and of more than ordinary en- durance. He was always a hard worker; he had no assistant in his ministry, and, besides the constant de- mands upon his strength made by a growing Church, he had for years been a prominent member of nearly aU the missionary and home societies for the advancement of the Gospel. The IMissionary Society, which was in session when his death occurred, paid him a very warm
