See also:PASQUIER, See also:ETIENNE (1529-1615) , See also:French lawyer and See also:man of letters, was See also:born at See also:Paris, on the 7th of See also:June 1529 by his own See also:account, according to others a See also:year earlier. He was called to the Paris See also:bar in 1549. In 1558 he became very See also:ill through eating poisonous mushrooms, and did not recover fully for two years. This compelled him to occupy himself by See also:literary See also:work, and in 156o he published the first See also:book of his Recherches de la See also:France. In 1565, when he was See also:thirty-seven, his fame was established by a See also:great speech still extant, in which he pleaded the cause of the university of Paris against the See also:Jesuits, and won it. Meanwhile he pursued the Recherches steadily, and published from 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 to time much See also:miscellaneous work. His literary and his legal occupations coincided in a curious See also:fashion at the Grands Jours of See also:Poitiers in 1579. These Grands Jours (an institution which See also:fell into desuetude at the end of the 17th See also:century, with See also:bad effects on the social and See also:political welfare of the French provinces) were a See also:kind of irregular See also:assize in which a See also:commission of the See also:parlement of Paris, selected and despatched at See also:short See also:notice by the See also:- KING

king, had full See also:power to hear and determine all causes, especially those in which seignorial rights had been abused. At the Grands Jours of Poitiers of the date mentioned, and at those of See also:Troyes in 1583, Pasquier officiated; and each occasion has See also:left a curious literary memorial of the jests with which he and his colleagues relieved their graver duties. The Poitiers work was the celebrated collection of poems on a See also:flea (see See also:Southey's See also:Doctor). In 1585 Pasquier was appointed by See also:- HENRY

Henry III. See also:advocate-See also:general at the Paris cours See also:des comptes, an important See also:body having political as well as See also:financial and legal functions. Here he distinguished himself particularly by opposing, sometimes successfully, the mischievous See also:system of selling hereditary places and offices, which more perhaps than any single thing was the curse of the older French See also:monarchy. The See also:civil See also:wars compelled Pasquier to leave Paris and for some years he lived at See also:Tours, working steadily at his great book, but he returned to Paris in Henry IV.'s See also:train in See also:March 1594. He continued until 1604 at his work in the chambre des comptes; then he retired. He survived this retirement more than ten years, producing much literary work, and died after a few See also:hours' illness on the 1st of See also:September 1615.
In so See also:long and so laborious a See also:life Pasquier's work was naturally considerable, and it has never been fully collected or indeed printed. The See also:standard edition is that of See also:Amsterdam (2 vols. fol., 1723). But for See also:ordinary readers the selections of See also:Leon Feugere, published at Paris (2 vols. 8vo, 1849), with an elaborate introduction, are most accessible. As a poet Pasquier is chiefly interesting as a See also:minor member of the Pleiade See also:movement. As a See also:prose writer he is of much more account. The three See also:chief divisions of his prose work are his Recherches, his letters and his professional speeches. The letters are of much See also:biographical See also:interest and See also:historical importance, and the Recherches contain in a somewhat miscellaneous fashion invaluable See also:information on a vast variety of subjects, literary, political, antiquarian and other.
