===From the 19th century to the present=== During the early 19th century, the number of Preachers seems never to have sunk below 3,500. Statistics for 1876 show 3,748, but 500 of these had been expelled from their convents and were engaged in [[Wikt:parochial|parochial]] work. Statistics for 1910 show a total of 4,472 nominally or actually engaged in proper activities of the order.{{sfn|Mandonnet|1911}}{{Better source|date=April 2025}} {{As of|2013|}}, there were 6,058 Dominican friars, including 4,470 priests.<ref name='ch' /> {{As of|2021|January}}, there were 5,753 friars overall, and 4,219 priests.{{Cn|date=April 2025}} [[File:Portrait of Dominique Lacordaire.jpg|thumb|Portrait of [[Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire|Lacordaire]]]] France held a foremost place in the revival movement, 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.{{sfn|Scannell|1910}} 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 of the Order of Preachers|master general]] who remained longest at the head of the administration during the 19th century, Père [[Vincent Jandel]] (1850–1872). Here should be mentioned the [[The Dominican Province of Saint Joseph|province of Saint Joseph in the United States]]. Founded in 1805 by [[Edward Fenwick]] (1768–1832), afterwards first Bishop of [[Cincinnati]], Ohio (1821–1832). In 1905, it established the [[Dominican House of Studies]] in [[Washington, D.C.]],.{{sfn|Mandonnet|1911}}{{Better source|date=April 2025}} The province of France has produced many preachers. The conferences of Notre-Dame-de-Paris were inaugurated by Père Lacordaire. The Dominicans of the province of France furnished Lacordaire (1835–1836, 1843–1851),{{sfn|Mandonnet|1911}}{{Better source|date=April 2025}} [[Jacques Monsabré]],{{sfn|Schroeder|1911}} and Joseph Ollivier. The pulpit of Notre Dame has been occupied by a succession of Dominicans. Père [[Henri Didon]] (1840–1900) was a Dominican. The house of studies of the province of France publishes {{lang|fr|L'Année Dominicaine}} (founded 1859), {{lang|fr|La Revue des Sciences Philosophiques et Theologiques}} (1907), and {{lang|fr|La Revue de la Jeunesse}} (1909).{{sfn|Mandonnet|1911}}{{Better source|date=April 2025}} French Dominicans founded and administer the {{lang|fr|[[École Biblique|École Biblique et Archéologique française de Jérusalem]]}} founded in 1890 by [[Marie-Joseph Lagrange]] (1855–1938), one of the leading international centres for biblical research. It is at the {{lang|fr|École Biblique}} that the famed [[Jerusalem Bible]] (both editions) was prepared. Likewise Cardinal [[Yves Congar]] was a product of the French province of the Order of Preachers.{{Cn|date=April 2025}} Doctrinal development has had an important place in the restoration of the Preachers. Several institutions, besides those already mentioned, played important parts. Such is the {{lang|fr|École Biblique}} at [[Jerusalem]], open to the religious of the order and to secular clerics, which publishes the {{lang|fr|Revue Biblique}}. The {{lang|la|Pontificium Collegium Internationale Angelicum}}, the future [[Pontifical University of Saint Thomas Aquinas]] ({{lang|la|Angelicum}}) established in Rome in 1908 by Master [[Hyacinth Cormier]], opened its doors to regulars and seculars for the study of the sacred sciences. In addition to the reviews above are the {{lang|fr|Revue Thomiste}}, founded by Père Thomas Coconnier ({{abbr|d.|died}} 1908), and the {{lang|la|Analecta Ordinis Prædicatorum}} (1893). Among numerous writers of the order in this period are: Cardinals [[Thomas Zigliara]] ({{abbr|d.|died}} 1893) and Zephirin González ({{abbr|d.|died}} 1894), two esteemed philosophers; [[Alberto Guillelmotti]] ({{abbr|d.|died}} 1893), historian of the Pontifical Navy, and historian [[Heinrich Denifle]] ({{abbr|d.|died}} 1905).{{sfn|Mandonnet|1911}}{{Better source|date=April 2025}} During the Reformation, many of the convents of Dominican nuns were forced to close. One which managed to survive, and afterwards founded many new houses, was St Ursula's in Augsburg. In the 17th century, convents of Dominican women were often asked by their bishops to undertake apostolic work, particularly educating girls and visiting the sick. St Ursula's returned to an enclosed life in the 18th century, but in the 19th century, after Napoleon had closed many European convents, [[King Ludwig I of Bavaria|King Louis I of Bavaria]] in 1828 restored the Religious Orders of women in his realm, provided that the nuns undertook some active work useful to the State (usually teaching or nursing).<ref name="kwtdominicans.co.za" /> In 1877, Bishop Ricards in South Africa requested that Augsburg send a group of nuns to start a teaching mission in King Williamstown.<ref name="dominicanmissionarysisters.org">{{cite web|url=https://dominicanmissionarysisters.org/|title=Dominican Missionary Sisters – of the Sacred Heart of Jesus|website=Dominican Missionary Sisters|access-date=2019-02-15|archive-date=2019-01-29|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190129113103/https://dominicanmissionarysisters.org/|url-status=live}}</ref> From this mission were founded many Third Order Regular congregations of Dominican sisters, with their own constitutions, though still following the Rule of Saint Augustine and affiliated to the Dominican Order. These include the Dominican Sisters of Oakford, KwazuluNatal (1881),<ref>{{cite web|url=http://oakforddominicans.org/our-congregation/|title=Dominican Sisters of Oakford – Our Congregation|website=oakforddominicans.org|access-date=2016-08-22|archive-date=2016-11-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161103063355/http://oakforddominicans.org/our-congregation/|url-status=live}}</ref> the Dominican Missionary Sisters, Zimbabwe (1890)<ref name="dominicanmissionarysisters.org"/> and the Dominican Sisters of Newcastle, KwazuluNatal (1891).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.dominicansisters.co.uk/our-story/mother-rose-niland/|title=Mother Rose Niland|first=Dominican|last=Sisters|date=25 February 2010|access-date=15 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190215222825/https://www.dominicansisters.co.uk/our-story/mother-rose-niland/|archive-date=15 February 2019|url-status=dead}}</ref> The Dominican Order has influenced the formation of other orders outside of the Catholic Church, such as the [[Anglican Order of Preachers]] within the [[Anglican Communion]]. Since not all members are obliged to take solemn or simple vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, it operates more like a [[third order]] with a third order style structure, with no contemporary or canonical ties to the historical order founded by Dominic of Guzman.<ref name="dominicanfriars.org" />{{Better source|date=April 2025}} The [[Order of Christ the Saviour]] is a dispersed [[Anglo-Catholicism|Anglo-Catholic]] Dominican community founded in the 21st century within the [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopal Church]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=National Association of Episcopal Christian Communities |url=https://www.naecc.net/ |access-date=2024-02-08 |website=naecc |language=en}}</ref>{{Better source|date=April 2025}}
