LOUIS), AUGUSTE (1823–1906) , See also:French historian and geographer, was See also:born at See also:Strassburg on the 28th of See also:March 1823. After studying in his native See also:town and taking the university course in See also:Berlin (1842–1843) he went to See also:Paris, and passed first in the examination for fellowship (agregation) of the lycees (1845), first in the See also:examinations on leaving the l See also:Cole See also:des Chartes, and first in the examination for fellowship of the faculties (1849). In 1849 he took the degree of See also:doctor of letters with two theses, one of which, IVala et Louis le Debonnaire (published in Paris in 1849), placed him in the front See also:rank of French scholars in the See also:province of Carolingian See also:history.

In that See also:year he was appointed See also:dean of the See also:faculty of letters, and for ten years he directed the intellectual See also:life of that See also:great educational centre during its development into a great scientific See also:body.
