Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Auguste Comte From the terraces which rise above the old city of Montpellier one may see the peaks of the Pyrenees on the south-west, the sea on the south, and the Low Alps on the east. Between the city and the Low Alps lies a region rich in memories of ancient Romans, of musical Troubadours, of the poet Mistral, and the famous entomologist Henri Fabre. In the country on the west the Albigensian heresy was born; and it died in tragedy. Cross currents of travel and commerce naturally created a spirit of inquiry at a spot where roads from Paris, Spain, and Italy met. In the fifteenth century Jacques Coeur, one of the greatest merchants and financiers of the age, here built a mansion, from the roof of which he proudly watched his ships sail towards Africa, Venice, and Aleppo. A university was founded in 1289, and students flocked to lectures on law and medicine. Petrarch the poet came to study; and Rabelais, the audacious Humanist; and Jussieu and De Candolle, botanists. A botanic garden was laid out in 1592. A century later John Locke, who gave to England a common-sense account of the Human Understanding, lived awhile at Montpellier, and, yet later, the genial Sterne. Louis Comte, aged 20, a clerk in the offices of the Receiver-General for the Department of L´Herault, married Rosalie Boyer, aged thirty-two, at Montpellier on the last day of the year 1796.
