GILBERT See also:VICTOR FIALIN , DucDE (1808-1872), See also:French statesman, was See also:born at See also:Saint-See also:German See also:Lespinasse (See also:Loire) on the 11th of See also:January 1808, the son of a See also:receiver of taxes. He was educated at See also:Limoges, and entered the cavalryschool at See also:Saumur in 1826, becoming marechal See also:des logis in the 4th Hussars two years later. The See also:share taken by his See also:regiment in supporting the revolution of 183o was regarded as insubordination, and next See also:year Fialin was dismissed from the See also:army. He became a journalist, and in 1833 became a strong Bonapartist, assuming the See also:title of See also:comte de Persigny, said to be dormant in his See also:family. He planned the See also:attempt on See also:Strassburg in 1836 and that on See also:Boulogne in 1840. At Boulogne he was arrested and condemned to twenty years' imprisonment in a fortress, shortly afterwards commuted into mild detention at See also:Versailles, where he wrote a See also:book to prove that the Pyramids were built to prevent the See also:Nile from silting up. This was published in 1845 under the title, De la Destination et de l'utilite permanente des Pyramides. At the revolution of 1848 he was arrested by the provisional See also:government, and on his See also:release took a prominent See also:part in securing the See also:election of See also:- LOUIS

- 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 See also:Napoleon to the See also:presidency. With See also:Morny and the See also:marshal Saint See also:Arnaud he plotted the restoration of the See also:empire, and was a devoted servant of Napoleon III. He succeeded Morny as See also:minister of the interior in January 1852, and later in the year became senator. He resigned 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 in 1854, being appointed next year to the See also:London See also:embassy, which he occupied with a See also:short See also:interval (1858-1859) until 1860, when he resumed the See also:portfolio of the interior. But the growing See also:influence of his See also:rival See also:Rouher provoked his resignation in 1863, when he received the title of See also:duke. A more dangerous enemy than Rouher was the empress See also:Eugenie, whose See also:marriage he had opposed and whose presence in the See also:council chamber he deprecated in a memorandum which See also:fell into the empress's hands. He sought in vain to see Napoleon before he started to take over the command in 1870, and the See also:breach was further widened when See also:master and servant were in See also:- EXILE (Lat. exsilium or exilium, from exsul or exul, which is derived from ex, out of, and the root sal, to go, seen in salire, to leap, consul, &c.; the connexion with solum, soil, country is now generally considered wrong)
exile. Persigny returned to See also:France in 1871, and died at See also:Nice on the 11th of January 1872.
