Louis Adolphie Theirs was born at
Marseilies April 10, 1877. a.id was,
therefore, eighty years Of age at the
time of his death. His father was q
blacksmith in the humble walks of
life, and the early education he re.
eeived was at the public schools OF
aarseilles When he had grown up to
man estate he prevailed upon friends
to post him IN the study OF law. and
with this object he was sent by them 10
AK, where he studied for several years
in the Offices of NJ. Arnaud. Upon be-
ins admitted to the bar he met with IN
different success, and. after few years,
he abandoned the Law as profession
and took up with literature. As a
stepping-stone to this kind of life, he
first became one of the editors of The
Constitutional, writing the political ar
tlcles of that famous journal In the
year 1923 the first volume of his Histo-
ry of the French Revolution appeared,
and nine years later the entire work
was completed After the revoS
luton of July, 1880, he entered
into politics. and was made un-
der-secretary of state 10 the adj
ministration Of Latitte. Soon after thi
he was elected deputy for AK. In 1882
he was appointed minister for the inte-
rior by Louis Philippe. In 1886 he
was made minister of foreign affairs,
an office to which he was again appoint
ed in the year 1870 Here again he de-
voted his leisure time to literary work.
and in the year 1912 the first volume Of
his Consulate and Empire of France
appeared In the revolution of 1913
he was a republican and carried mus
ket on his shoulder in the national
guard. In 1851, after Napoleon's coup
| Il stat, he was banished In 1868 he was
made deputy by the liberal opposition,
and caused his abilities to be recognized
by his opposition to Louis Napoleon
schemes. When the empire ceased to
exist he was among the very first called
upon by the French people to adminis-
ter upon their political affairs II was
| the first president of their republic and
