Guizot, François (-Pierre-Guillaume)

Guizot, François (-Pierre-Guillaume)
born Oct. 4, 1787, Nîmes, France
died Oct. 12, 1874, Val-Richer

French political figure and historian.

He studied law but became a professor of history at the University of Paris in 1812. He emerged as a leader of the conservative constitutional monarchists and during the July monarchy (1830–48) was the dominant minister in France, holding such offices as minister of education, foreign minister, and premier. Forced to resign by the Revolution of 1848, he spent most of his remaining days in relative political isolation. His works include General History of Civilization in Europe (1828) and The History of France from the Earliest Times to the Year 1789 (1872–76).
