Howes L515: "Catholic activity under Bishop DuBourg whose diocese embraced the Ohio, Mississippi, and Missouri valleys..." In 1812, he was nominated to the Bishopric of New Orleans, but because of the captivity of Pius VII, the Pontifical Bulls were never issued. Accordingly, Archbishop Carroll appointed DuBourg Administrator Apostolic of that diocese. The task confronting him was exceptionally difficult; for fifty thousand souls he had only fourteen priests, half a dozen of them crippled by old age, and others, led by the Capuchin friar, Anthony de Sedella [Pere Antoine, q.v.], in open opposition to the new order of things created by the Louisiana Purchase. Later, these difficulties were increased when in January 1815 a British army stood at the gates of New Orleans. DuBourg at once gauged the situation, and impressed upon all the patriotic duty of supporting the American general. He was tireless in his efforts to assist the people of the threatened city, animating them by his eloquence, giving them material aid, and making the Ursuline Convent a place of refuge. After the battle, in the pubic celebration of the victory, it is said that DuBourg, assisted by a college of priests, received Gen. Jackson at the cathedral door and placed a crown of laurel on his head. $1500.00

A second volume, started in 1831, was finally issued in 1837, and a third volume came out in 1838. Each was a self-contained work in its own right. In his usual wholehearted manner, he purchased an extensive tract of land in the vicinity of New Harmony, Indiana and forwarded his library, instruments, and other personal effects that might be useful in carrying out once more, in new territory, his plan for an agricultural school. He succeeded in persuading a number of other scientific men to accompany him to New Harmony, and when he set out, took with him down the Ohio the "boat-load of knowledge," which included LeSueur, Gerard Troost, and Thomas Say. Even after the failure of Owen's venture Maclure persisted in an attempt to organize societies for adult education among the working classes.
