hall in See also:ancient times to allow the See also:smoke 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 when the See also:fire was made on the See also:pavement in the See also:middle of the hall. The See also:term is also applied to the See also:flat overlapping slips of See also:wood, See also:glass, &c., with which such openings are closed, arranged to give See also:ventilation without the See also:admission of See also:rain. Openings fitted with louvers are now utilized for the purposes of ventilation in See also:schools and manufactories.
The word has been derived from the See also:French l'ouvert, the " open" I succeeded in bringing to See also:justice in See also:September but for the poor support he received from the Girondist leaders. It is more probable, however, that his See also:ill-balanced invective contributed to their ruin and his own; for him See also:Robespierre was a " royalist," See also:Marat " the See also:principal See also:agent of See also:England," the Montagnards See also:Orleanists in masquerade. His courageous attitude at the trial of 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 XVI., when he supported the " See also:appeal to the See also:people," only served still further to discredit the See also:Girondists. He defended them, however, to the last with See also:great courage, if with little discretion; and after the crisis of the 31st of May 1793 he shared the perils of the party who fled from See also:Paris (see GIRONDISTS). His wife, " Lodoiska," who had actively co-operated in his propaganda, was also in danger.
After the fall of Robespierre, he was recalled to the See also:Convention, when he was instrumental in bringing See also:Carrier and the others responsible for the Noyades of See also:Nantes to justice. His See also:influence was now considerable; he was elected a member of the See also:Committee of the Constitution, See also:president of the See also:Assembly, and member of the Committee of Public Safety, against the overgrown See also:power of which he had in earlier days protested. His hatred of the See also:Mountain had not made him reactionary; he was soon regarded as one of the mainstays of the " See also:Jacobins," and La Sentinelle reappeared, under his auspices, See also:preaching See also:union among re-publicans. Under the See also:Directory (1795) he was elected a member of the See also:Council of Five See also:Hundred, of which he was secretary, and also a member of the See also:Institute. Meanwhile he had returned to his old See also:trade and set up a bookseller's See also:shop in the Palais Royal. But, in spite of the fact that he had once more denounced the Jacobins in La Sentinelle, his name had become identified with all that the combative See also:spirits of the jeunesse doree most disliked; his shop was attacked by the " See also:young men" with cries of " A bas la Loupe, a bas la belle Ledoiska, a bas See also:les gardes du See also:corps de Louvet!" he and his wife were insulted in the streets and the theatres: " A has les Louvets et les Louvetants!" and he was compelled to leave Paris. The Directory appointed him to the consulship at See also:Palermo, but he died on the'25th of See also:August 1797 before taking up his See also:post.
In 1795 Louvet published a portion of his See also:Memoirs under the See also:title of Quelques notices pour l'histoire et le recit de Ines perils depuis le 31 See also:mai 1793. They were mainly written in the various hiding-places in which Louvet See also:rook See also:refuge, and they give a vivid picture of the sufferings of the proscribed Girondists. They See also:form an invaluable document for the study of the See also:psychology of the Revolution; for in spite of their considerable See also:literary See also:art, they are artless in their See also:revelation of the See also:mental and moral See also:state of their author, a characteristic type of the honest, sentimental, somewhat hysterical and wholly unbalanced minds nurtured on the abstractions of the philosophes. The first See also:complete edition of the Memoires de Louvet de Couvrai, edited, with See also:preface, notes and tables, by F. A. See also:Aulard, was published at Paris in 1889.
