LOUIS, See also:COMTE (1754-1835) , See also:French politician and economist, was See also:born at See also:Metz on the 15th of See also:February 1754, the son of a See also:magistrate. At the See also:age of twenty-five he became councillor at the See also:parlement of Metz, and was commissioned in 1787 to draw up a See also:list of remonstrances. His See also:work advocating the suppression of See also:internal customs houses (Suppression See also:des douanes interieures), published the same See also:year, is an elaborate See also:treatise on the See also:laws of See also:commerce and on the theory of customs imposts. In 1788 he published Deputation aux Etats generaux, a pamphlet remarkable for its bold exposition of liberal principles, and partly on the strength of this he was elected See also:deputy to the states-See also:general by the Third See also:Estate of the bailliage of Metz. In the Constituent See also:Assembly he was a member of the See also:committee of taxes (comite des contributions), prepared a See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)
scheme for a new See also:system of See also:taxation, See also:drew up a See also:law on See also:patents, occupied himself with the laws See also:relating to stamps and See also:assignats, and was successful in opposing the introduction of an income tax. After the See also:close of the Constituent Assembly he was elected, on the 11th of See also:November 1791, procureur general See also:syndic of the See also:department of See also:Paris. The See also:directory of the department, of which the duc de la Rochefoucauld was See also:president, was at this 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 in pronounced opposition to the advanced views that dominated the Legislative Assembly and the Jacobin See also:Club, and Roederer was not altogether in See also:touch with his colleagues. Thus he took no See also:share in See also:signing their protest against the law against the non-juring See also:clergy, as a violation of religious See also:liberty. But the directory did not See also:long survive. With the growing anarchy of the See also:capital many of its members resigned and fled, and their places could not be filled up. Roederer himself has See also:left in his Chronique des cinquante jours (1832) an See also:account of the pitiable See also:part played by the directory of the department in the See also:critical See also:period between the loth of See also:June and the loth of See also:August 1792. Seeing the perilous See also:drift of things, he had tried to get into touch with the See also:- KING
- KING (O. Eng. cyning, abbreviated into cyng, cing; cf. O. H. G. chun- kuning, chun- kunig, M.H.G. kiinic, kiinec, kiinc, Mod. Ger. Konig, O. Norse konungr, kongr, Swed. konung, kung)

king; and it was on his See also:advice that Louis, on the fatal loth, took See also:refuge in the Assembly. His conduct arousing suspicion, he went into hiding, and did not emerge again until after the fall of See also:Robespierre. In 1796 he was made a member of the See also:Institute, was appointed to a professorship of See also:political See also:economy, and founded the See also:Journal d'economie publique, de morale et de legislation. Having escaped See also:deportation at the time of the coup d'etat of 18 Fructidor, he took part in the revolution of 18 See also:Brumaire, and was appointed by See also:Napoleon member of the See also:council of See also:state and senator. Under the See also:Empire, Roederer, whose public See also:influence was very considerable, was See also:Joseph See also:Bonaparte's See also:minister of See also:finance at See also:Naples (18o6), See also:administrator of the See also:grand duchy of See also:Berg (181o), and imperial See also:commissary in the See also:south of See also:France. During the See also:Hundred Days he was created a peer of France. The Restoration See also:government stripped him of his offices and dignities, but he recovered the See also:title of peer of France in 1832. He died on the 17th of See also:December 1835. His son, See also:Baron See also:Antoine See also:Marie Roederer
(1782—1865), was also a politician of some See also:note in his See also:day.
