Franois Guizot - Franois Guizot Franois Pierre Guillaume Guizot (October 4, 1787 -September 12, 1874) was a French historian, orator and statesman. He was born at Nmes of a bourgeoisProtestant family. His parents, at the time of their union, could not be publicly or legally married by a Protestant pastor, and the ceremony had to take place in secret. The liberal opinions of his family did not, however, save them from the sanguinary intolerance of the Reign of Terror, and on April 8 1794 his father died on the scaffold at Nmes. From then on, the boy's mother was completely responsible for his upbringing. She was a woman of slight appearance and of homely manners, but had great strength of character and judgment. Madame Guizot was a typical Huguenot of.
Jules Michelet - 1827, is a sound and careful book, far better than anything that had appeared before it, and written in a sober yet interesting style. In the same year he was appointed maitre de conferences at the cole normale. Four years later, in 1831, the Introduction d l'histoire universelle showed a very different style, exhibiting the idiosyncrasy and literary power of the writer to greater advantage, but also displaying the peculiar visionary qualities which made Michelet stimulating, yet untrustworthy, as a historian. The events of 1830 had placed him in a better position for study by obtaining him a place in the Record Office, and a deputy-professorship under Guizot in the literary faculty of the university. Soon afterwards he began his chief and monumental work, the Histoire de France that would take.
Victor Cousin - "triple discipline" that Cousin's philosophical thought was first developed, and that in 1815 he began the public teaching of philosophy in the Normal School and in the faculty of letters. He then took up the study of German, worked at Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Heinrich Jacobi, and sought to master the Philosophy of Nature of Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph von Schelling, which at first greatly attracted him. The influence of Schelling may be observed very markedly in the earlier form of his philosophy. He sympathized with the principle of faith of Jacobi, but regarded it as arbitrary so long as it was not recognized as grounded in reason. In 1817 he went to Germany, and met Georg Hegel at Heidelberg. Hegel's Encyclopdie der philosophischen Wissenschaften appeared the same year, and Cousin had.
Henry Reeve - Paris, he met Victor Hugo, Victor Cousin, and Sir Walter Scott. He travelled in Italy, sat under Schelling at Munich and under Ludwig Tieck at Dresden, became in 1835-36 a member of Madame de Circourt's salon, and numbered among his friends Alphonse de Lamartine, Jean-Baptiste Henri Lacordaire, Alfred de Vigny, Adolphe Thiers, Franois Guizot, Charles Forbes Ren de Montalembert, and Alexis de Tocqueville, of whose books, Dmocratie en Amrique and the Ancien rgime, he made standard translations into English. In 1837 be was made clerk of appeal and then registrar to the judicial committee of the Privy Council. From 1840 to 1855 he wrote for The Times, his close touch with men like Guizot, Christian Bunsen, Lord Clarendon, and his own chief at the Privy Council Office, Charles Greville, enabling him.
Hippolyte Taine - working. In 1847, as vtran de rhtorique, he carried off six first prizes in the general competition, the prize of honour, and three accessits; he won all the first school prizes, the three science prizes, and two prizes for dissertation. It was at the College Bourbon that he formed lifelong friendships with several of his schoolfellows who afterwards were to exercise a lasting influence upon him. Among these were Prvost-Paradol, for many years his closest friend; Planat, the future "Marcelin" of the Vie Parisienne; and Cornlis de Witt, who introduced him to Guizot in 1846. Public education was the planned career after Taine's remarkable school successes. In 1848 he accordingly took both his baccalaurat degrees, in science and letters, and passed first into the cole Normale; among his rivals, who passed.
Fleeming Jenkin - mother, who, owing to her husband's frequent absence, had the principal share in the boy's education. She took him to the south of Scotland, where, chiefly at Barjarg, she taught him drawing among other things, and allowed him to ride his pony on the moors. He went to school at Jedburgh, and afterwards to the Edinburgh Academy, where he won many prizes. Among his schoolfellows were James Clerk Maxwell and Peter Guthrie Tait. On his father's retirement, the family moved to Frankfurt in 1847, partly from motives of economy and partly for the boy's education. Here Fleeming and his father spent a pleasant time together, sketching old castles, and observing the customs of the peasantry. At thirteen, Fleeming had produced a romance of three hundred lines in heroic measure, a novel,.
Alexandre Joseph Colonna, Count Walewski - In 1837 he resigned his commission and began to write for the stage and for the press. He is said to have collaborated with the elder Dumas in Mademoiselle de Belle-Isle, and a comedy of his, L'Ecole du monde, was produced at the Thetre Franais in 1840. In that year his paper, Le Messager des chambres, was taken over by Thiers, who sent him on a mission to Egypt, and under the Guizot ministry he was sent to Buenos Aires to co-operate with the British minister Lord Howden (Sir J Caradoc). The accession of Louis Napoleon to the supreme power in France guaranteed his career. He was sent as envoy extraordinary to Florence, to Naples and then to London, where he announced the coup d'tat to Palmerston. In 1855 Walewski succeeded.
The Communist Manifesto - a proletariat revolution to overthrow "capitalism" and, ostensibly, to bring about a classless society. A spectre is haunting Europe -- the spectre of communism. All the powers of old Europe have entered into a holy alliance to exorcise this spectre: Pope and Tsar, Metternich and Guizot, French Radicals and German police-spies. Where is the party in opposition that has not been decried as communistic by its opponents in power? Where is the opposition that has not hurled back the branding reproach of communism, against the more advanced opposition parties, as well as against its reactionary adversaries? The program described in the Manifesto -- that is to say, the policies the Communists of its day sought to implement -- is termed socialism. These policies included, among others, the abolition of land ownership.
Claude Charles Fauriel - in 1886. Some articles which Fauriel published in the Decade philosophique (1800) on a work of Madame de Stal's--De la littrature considere dans ses rapports avec les institutions sociales--led to an intimate friendship with her. About 1802 he began a liaison with Madame de Condorcet which lasted till her death (1822). It was said that he gave up all his energies to love, friendship and learning. The salon of Mme de Condorcet was a rallying point for the dissentient republicans. Fauriel was introduced by Madame de Stal to the literary circle of Auteuil, which gathered round Destutt de Tracy. Those who enjoyed his closest intimacy were the physiologist Cabanis (Madame de Condorcet's brother-in-law), the poet Alessandro Manzoni, the publicist Benjamin Constant, and Franois Guizot. Later Tracy introduced to him Augustin Thierry.
The Revolutions of 1848 in France - Battle of Waterloo, the people had been given a charter of liberties, now dubiously maintained. But to foreigners, France was a bastion of liberty, and comparably so, was, with a restive press and trial by jury that had acquitted would-be assassins. But there were stresses. Alexis de Tocqueville had observed, "We are sleeping on a volcano . . . A wind of revolution blows, the storm is on the horizon." Lacking the property qualifications to vote, the middle classes were about to erupt, tired of hearing Prime Minister Guizot say, "Get rich, then you can vote." Corruption stretched from the Prime Minister to small shopkeepers with dishonest weights. England was of course the greatest industrial power, with France in second place. But England's middle classes had been bought off by the.
Second Republic - the astonishment of all. The industrial population of the faubourgs on its way towards the centre of Paris was welcomed by the National Guard. Barricades were raised after the unfortunate incident of the firing of February 24. On the 23rd Guizot's cabinet resigned, abandoned by the petite bourgeoisie, on whose support they thought they could depend. The heads of the Left Centre and the dynastic Left, Mol and Thiers, declined the offered leadership. Odilon Barrot accepted it, and Bugeaud, commander-in-chief of the first military division, who had begun to attack the barricades, was recalled. But it was too late. In face of the insurrection which had now taken possession of the whole capital, Louis Philippe decided to abdicate in favour of his grandson, the comte de Paris. But it was too.

Pierre Paul Royer-Collard - period that he developed his legitimist opinions and entered into communication with the comte de Provence (Louis XVIII). He was the ruling spirit in the small committee formed in Paris to help forward a Restoration independent of the comte d'Artois and his party; but with the establishment of the Consulate he saw the prospects of the monarchy were temporarily hopeless, and the members of the committee resigned. From that time until the Restoration Royer-Collard devoted himself exclusively to the study of philosophy. He derived his opposition to the philosophy of Condillac chiefly from the study of Descartes and his followers, and from his early veneration for the fathers of Port-Royal. He was occupied with the erection of a system which should provide a moral and political education. consonant with his view.

List of historians of the French Revolution - work, both in style and viewpoint. Passionate in his concern for the poor and in his interest in the fears and hopes of revolution, Carlyle (while reasonably historically accurate) is often more concerned with conveying his impression of the hopes and aspirations of people (and his opposition to ossified ideology ("formulas" or "Isms", as he called them) than with strict adherence to fact.
