At this See also:period he wrote two important See also:works which, owing to the distracted See also:state of public affairs, remained unpublished, Institutiones See also:juris ecclesiastici and Praelectiones juris ecclesiastici.

Returned to the See also:Convention in See also:September 1792 he See also:developed moderate, even reactionary views, becoming one of the fiercest opponents of the See also:Mountain, though he never wavered in his support of republican principles.

Louis XVI., alleging that the nation had no right to despatch a vanquished prisoner. His daily attacks on the Mountain resulted, on the 15th of See also:April 1793, in a demandby the See also:commune for his exclusion from the See also:assembly, but, undaunted, when the Parisian populace invaded the Chamber on the 2nd of See also:June, Lan juinais renewed his See also:defiance of the victorious party. Placed under See also:arrest with the Girondins, he escaped to Rennes where he See also:drew up a pamphlet denouncing the constitution of 1793 under the curious title Le Dernier See also:Crime de Lanjuinais (Rennes, 1793). Pursued by J. B. See also:Carrier, who was sent to See also:stamp out resistance in the See also:west, he See also:lay hidden until some See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf.

He maintained his liberal and See also:independent attitude in the Conseil See also:des Anciens, the See also:Senate and the Chamber of Peers, being See also:president of the upper See also:house during the See also:Hundred Days. Together with G. J. B. See also:Target, J. E. M. See also:Portalis and others he founded under the See also:empire an See also:academy of legislation in See also:Paris, himself lecturing on See also:Roman law. Closely associated with See also:oriental scholars, and a keen student of oriental religions, he entered the Academy of See also:Inscriptions in i8o8. After the See also:Bourbon restoration Lanjuinais consistently defended the principles of constitutional See also:monarchy, but most of his time was given to religious and See also:political subjects. Besides many contributions to periodical literature he wrote, among other works, Constitutions de la nation francaise (1819); Appreciation du projet de loi relatif aux trois concordats (i8o6, 6th ed. 1827), in See also:defence of See also:Gallicanism; and Etudes biographiques et litteraires sur See also:Antoine See also:Arnauld, P.
