See also:BARNAVE, See also:ANTOINE See also:PIERRE See also:JOSEPH See also:MARIE (1761-1793) , one of the greatest orators of the first See also:French Revolution, was See also:born at See also:Grenoble in See also:Dauphine, on the 22nd of See also:October 1761. He was of a See also:Protestant See also:family. His See also:father was an See also:advocate at the See also:parlement of Grenoble, and his See also:mother was a woman of high See also:birth, See also:superior ability and See also:noble See also:character. He was educated by his mother because, being a Protestant, he could hot attend school, and he See also:grew up at once thoughtful and passionate, studious and social, handsome in See also:person and graceful in See also:manners. He was brought up to the See also:law, and at the See also:age of twenty-two made himself favourably known by a discourse pronounced before the See also:local parlement on the See also:division of See also:political See also:powers. Dauphine was one of the first of the provinces to feel the excitement of the coming revolution; and Barnave was foremost to give See also:voice to the See also:general feeling, in a pamphlet entitled Esprit See also:des edits enregislres militairement le 20 See also:mai 1788. He was immediately elected See also:deputy, with his father, to the states of Dauphine, and took a prominent See also:part in their debates. A few months later he was transferred to a wider See also:- FIELD (a word common to many West German languages, cf. Ger.

field of See also:action. The states-general were convoked at See also:Versailles for the 5th of May 1789, and Barnave was chosen deputy of the tiers slat for his native See also:province. He soon made an impression on the See also:Assembly, became the friend of most of the leaders of the popular party, and formed with Adrien See also:Duport and See also:Alexandre See also:Lameth (q.v.) the See also:group known during the Constituent Assembly as " the triumvirate." He took part in the See also:conference on the claims of the three orders, See also:drew up the first address to the See also:- KING

king, and supported the proposal of Sieyes that the Assembly should declare itself See also:National. Until 1791 he was one of the See also:principal members of the See also:club known later as the See also:Jacobins, of which he drew up the manifesto and first rules (see JACOBINS). Though a passionate See also:lover of See also:liberty, he hoped to secure the freedom of See also:France and her See also:monarchy at the same See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.

time. But he was almost unawares See also:borne away by the mighty currents of the time, and he took part in the attacks on the monarchy, on the See also:clergy, on See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk

church See also:property, and on the provincial parlements. With the one exception of See also:Mirabeau, Barnave was the most powerful orator of the Assembly. On several occasions he stood in opposition to Mirabeau. After the fall of the See also:Bastille he wished to See also:save the See also:throne. He advocated the suspensory See also:veto, and the See also:establishment of trial by See also:jury in See also:civil causes, but voted with the See also:Left against the See also:system of two See also:chambers. His conflict with Mirabeau on the question of assigning to the king the right to make See also:peace or See also:war (from the 16th to the 23rd of May 1791) was one of the most striking scenes in the Assembly. In See also:August 1790, after a vehement debate, he fought a See also:duel with J. A. M. de See also:Cazales, in which the latter was slightly wounded. About the See also:close of October 1790 Barnave was called to the See also:presidency of the Assembly. On the See also:death of Mirabeau a few months later, Barnave paid a high See also:tribute to his See also:worth and public services, designating him the See also:Shakespeare of See also:oratory. On the See also:arrest of the king and the royal family at Varennes, while attempting to See also:- ESCAPE (in mid. Eng. eschape or escape, from the O. Fr. eschapper, modern echapper, and escaper, low Lat. escapium, from ex, out of, and cappa, cape, cloak; cf. for the sense development the Gr. iichueoOat, literally to put off one's clothes, hence to sli
escape from France, Barnave was
one of the three appointed to conduct them back to See also:Paris. On the See also:journey he was deeply affected by the mournful See also:fate of Marie-Antoinette, and resolved to do what he could to alleviate their sufferings. In one of his most powerful speeches he maintained the inviolability of the king's person. His public career came to an end with the close of the Constituent Assembly, and he returned to Grenoble at the beginning of 1792. His sympathy and relations with the royal family, to whom he had submitted a See also:plan for a See also:counter-revolution, and his See also:desire to check the downward progress of the Revolution, brought on him suspicion of See also:treason. Denounced (15th of August 1792) in the Legislative Assembly, he was arrested and imprisoned for ten months at Grenoble, then transferred to Fort Barraux, and in See also:November 1793 to Paris. The See also:nobility of his character was See also:- PROOF (in M. Eng. preove, proeve, preve, &°c., from O. Fr . prueve, proeve, &c., mod. preuve, Late. Lat. proba, probate, to prove, to test the goodness of anything, probus, good)
proof against the assaults of suffering. " Better to suffer and to See also:die," he said, " than See also:lute one shade of my moral and political character." On the 28th of November he appeared before the Revolutionary Tribunal. He was condemned on the See also:evidence of papers found at the Tuileries and executed the next See also:day, with Duport-Dutertre.
Barnave's U2uvres posthumes were published in 1842 by See also:Berenger (de la See also:Drome) in 4 vols. See F. A. See also:Aulard, See also:Les Orateurs de l'assemblee constituante (Paris, 1882).
