DROZ , See also:FRANCOIS-See also:XAVIER See also:JOSEPH (1773-1850), See also:French writer on See also:ethics and See also:political See also:science, was See also:born on the 31st of See also:October 17T3 at See also:Besancon, where his See also:family had furnished men of considerable See also:mark to the legal profession. His own legal studies led him to See also:Paris in 1792; he arrived on the very See also:day after the dethronement of the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king, and was See also:present during the massacres of See also:September; on the See also:declaration of See also:war he joined the volunteer bataillon of the See also:Doubs, and for the next three years served in the See also:Army of the See also:Rhine. Receiving his See also:discharge on the See also:score of See also:ill-See also:health, he obtained a much more congenial See also:post in the newly-founded ecole centrale of Besancon; and in 1799 he made his first See also:appearance as an author by an Essai sur fart oratoire (Paris, Fructidor, An VII.), in which he acknowledges his indebtedness more especially to See also:Hugh See also:Blair. Removing to Paris in 1803, he became intimate not only with the like-minded See also:Ducis, but also with the sceptical See also:Cabanis; and it was on this philosopher's See also:advice that, in See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order to catch the public See also:ear, he produced the See also:romance of Lina, which Sainte-Beuve has. characterized as a mingled See also:echo of See also:Florian and Werther. Like several other See also:literary men of the 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. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

- TIME, STANDARD
time, he obtained a post in the See also:revenue See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office known as the Droits reunis; but from 1814 he devoted himself' exclusively to literature and became a contributor to various See also:journals. Already favourably known by his Essai sur See also:Part d'eetreheureux (Paris, 18o6), his Elogede See also:Montaigne (1812), and his Essai sur le beau clans See also:les arts (1815), he not only gained the Monthyon See also:prize in 1823 by his See also:work De la philosophic morale ou See also:des di fferents systemes sur la science de la See also:vie, but also in 1824 obtained See also:admission to the Academie Francaise. The See also:main See also:doctrine inculcated in this last See also:treatise is that society will never be in a proper See also:state till men have been educated to think of their duties and not of their rights. It was followed in 1825 by Application de la morale d la philosophic et a la politique, and in 1829 by Economic politique, ou principes de la science des richesses, a methodical and clearly written treatise, which was edited by See also:Michel See also:Chevalier in 1854. His next and greatest work was a Histoire du regne de See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis X VI (3 vols., Paris, 1839-1842). As he advanced in See also:life Droz became more and more decidedly religious, and the last work of his prolific See also:pen was Pensees du Christianisme (1842). Few have See also:left so blameless a reputation: in the words of Sainte-Beuve, he was born and he remained all his life of the See also:race of the See also:good and the just.
