OBITUARY.
Abel Francois Vlllemnta.
The cable announces the death of Abel
Francois Villemain, the distinguished French
author and politician. M. Villemain was
born in Paris, June 11, 1791, and had conse
quently attained the ripe age of seventy
nine years. He received a careful education
at the Imperial Lyceum, now College of Louis
le Grand, and evinced, at an early age,
abilities of no mean order. When but nine
teen years of age he was appointed assistant
professor of rhetoric in the Charlemagne
College, and soon after instructor in French
literature at the normal school. In 1811 he
was appointed to deliver the Latin harangue
at the distribution of prizes, and ably ac
quitted himself. The following year he wou
a prize proposed by the academy for the
best eulogy of Montaigne.
Having been appointed assistant professor
f modern history in the faculty of letters, he
began a course of lectures early in Is 14, witn
a historical view of the beginning of the fif
teenth century. In the same year he won
the academic prize, his essay being a dis
course on "Criticism." The allies at this
time occupied Paris, andYillemain in reading
his essay before the Emperor of Russia and
the King of Prussia took occasion to pay a
glowing eulogy to these two sovereigns an
act which was long remembered against him
iy nis countrymen, in iit ne received a
third academical prize for his eulogy of Mon
tesquieu, and was promoted to the chair of
eloquence, in which he displayed remarkable
powers as an extemporaneous lecturer. After
the second testoration he entered the Minis
try as chief of the Department of Printing
and Publishing, and was afterwards named as
Maiire act liequetes to the Council of State.
In 1827, finding himself in opposition to
the Government on the subject of the press
law, he retired from office. As professor he
was occasionally occupied, from 1816 to 182G.
in lecturing on the literary history of the
modern epoch. In 1819 appeared his best
known work, a life of Cromwell. In 1830 he
was elected a member of the Chamber of
Deputies by the opposition. In the debates
of that body he took an active and important
part. Appointed one of the Council of Publio
Instruction in 1831, and vice-president of that
body in 18.52, he lost his seat in the Chamber,
but was indemnified by promotion to the
peerage in May, 1833. He became Minister
of Public Instruction in the Soult Cabinet in
1839, but resigned in 1840, in company with
his colleagues. At the end of a few months
he resumed the same post under the premier
ship of Guizot, holding it for nearly four
years, when, in 1844, having incurred the
displeasure of Louis Philippe by his liberal
views, ne was dismissed.
After his expulsion, he resumed his literary
labors and only occasionally took part in the
exciting politics of the time. After his court
d'etat of 1852, he refused to take the oath of
allegiance to Napoleon. The best known of
M. Villemain's works are: "Vie de Crom.
well," "Cours de Litterature Francaise," and
"Discourses et Melanges Litteraires." He,
however, wrote and published many other
volumes. In politics he was a liberal conser
vative, zealous in his advocaoy of the liberty
of the press, and after the Revolution of 1830
a warm supporter of the government of July.
For many years he has lived in comparative
retirement.
