Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eminent Persons, Vol. 1: Biographies Reprinted From the Times; 1870-1875 The generation of men who illustrated the literary and political history of France for no inconsiderable portion of the present century is fast disappearing. Not long since Berryer, full of years, but with mental powers hardly impaired, was taken away; soon after Lamartine, who had, however, long survived himself, was laid in his grave; and now we have to record the loss of another gifted person, younger than either, but who for nearly thirty years filled a high place in the public eye as a writer and an orator. Charles, Count de Montalembert, whose long sufferings hare just terminated in death, sprang from an ancient family of provincial nobility for centuries settled in Poitou. One of his ancestors, André de Montalembert, Sire d´Essé, the companion in arms of Francis I., fought at Landrecy, on the Sambre, against Charles V., and fell before Therouanne. His great uncle, Marc Rene, Marquis de Montalembert, had served with much distinction in the Seven Years´ War, and, in spite of the opposition of the military engineers of the period, succeeded in introducing important improvements in the art of fortification. He died in 1800, senior General in the French Army. Count René de Montalembert quitted France, with so many others of his order, in 1792, and joined the corps of emigrants commanded by his father.
