See also:THOURET, JACQUES See also:GUILLAUME (1746--1794) , See also:French revolutionist, was See also:born at See also:Pont 1'Eveque. He was the son of a See also:notary, and became an avocat at the See also:parlement of See also:Rouen. In 1789 he was elected See also:deputy to the states-See also:general by the third See also:estate of Rouen, and in the Constituent See also:Assembly his eloquence gained him See also:great See also:influence. Like so many lawyers of his 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.

time, he was violently opposed to the See also:clergy, and strongly supported the secularization of See also:- CHURCH

church See also:property. He also obtained the suppression of the religious orders and of all ecclesiastical privileges, and actively contributed to the See also:change of the judiciary and administrative See also:system. He was one of the promoters of the See also:decree of 1790 by which See also:France was divided into departments,and was four times See also:president of the Constituent Assembly. After its See also:dissolution he became president of the See also:court of caseation. He wa3 included in the proscription of the See also:Girondists, whose See also:political opinions he shared, and was executed in See also:Paris. Besides his speeches and reports he wrote an Abrege See also:des revolutions de l' Widen gouvernement See also:francais and Tableau chronologique de
(Nov. 9, 1609). The third See also:part (up to 1594), and the See also:fourth (up to 1584), which appeared in 1607 and ,6o8, caused a similar outcry, in spite of de See also:Thou's efforts to remain just and impartial. He carried his scruples to the point of forbid-ding any See also:translation of his See also:book into French, because in the See also:process there might, to use his own words, be committed great faults and errors against the intention of the author "; this, however, did not prevent the Jesuit See also:Father See also:Machault from accusing him of being " a false See also:Catholic, and worse than an open heretic " (1614); de Thou, we may say, was a member of the third See also:- ORDER

order of St See also:Francis. As an See also:answer to his detractors, he wrote his Memoires, which are a useful See also:complement to the See also:History of his own Times. After the See also:death of See also:- HENRY

Henry IV., de Thou met with another disappointment; the See also:queen-See also:regent refused him the position of first president of the parlement, appointing him instead as a member of the Conseil des finances intended to take the See also:place of See also:Sully. This was to him a distinct downfall; he continued, however, to serve under See also:Marie de Medicis, and took part in the negotiations of the See also:treaties concluded at Ste Menehould (1614) and See also:Loudun (1616). He died at Paris on the 7th of May 1617.
Three years after the death of de Thou, See also:Pierre See also:Dupuy and See also:Nicolas Rigault brought out, with pt. v., the fitst.See also:complete edition of the Hsstoria sui temporis, comprising 138 books; they appended to it the Memoires, also given in Latin (162o). A See also:hundred years later, an Englishman, See also:Samuel Buckley, published a See also:critical edition, the material for which had been collected in France itself by See also:- THOMAS
- THOMAS (c. 1654-1720)
- THOMAS (d. 110o)
- THOMAS, ARTHUR GORING (1850-1892)

Thomas See also:Carte (1933). De Thou was treated as a classic, an See also:honour which he deserved. His history is a See also:model of exact See also:research, See also:drawn from the best See also:sources, and presented in a See also:style both elegant and animated ; unfortunately, even for the men of the See also:Renaissance, Latin was a dead See also:language; it was impossible for de Thou, for example, to find exact equivalents for technical terms of See also:geography or of See also:administration. As the reasons which had led de Thou to forbid the translation of his monumental history disappeared with his death, there soon arose a See also:desire to make it accessible to a wider public. It was translated first into See also:German. A See also:Protestant pastor, G. See also:Boule, who was afterwards converted to Catholicism, translated it into French, but could, not find a publisher. The first translation printed was that of Pierre Du Ryer (1657), but it is mediocre and Incomplete. In the following See also:century the See also:abbe See also:Prevost, who was a conscientious collaborator with the See also:Benedictines of See also:Saint-Maur before he became the author of the more profane See also:work Malian Lescaut, was in treaty with a Dutch publisher for a translation which was to consist of ten volumes; only the first See also:volume appeared (1733). But competition, perhaps of an unfair See also:character, sprang up. A See also:group of translators, who had the See also:good See also:fortune of being able to avail themselves of Buckley's See also:fine edition, succeeded in bringing out all at the same time a translation in sixteen volumes (De Thou, Histoire universelle, Fr. trans. by Le Beau, Le Mascrier, the Abbe Des Fontaines, 1734). As to the Memoires they had already .been translated by Le See also:Petit and Des Ifs (1711) ; in this See also:form they have been reprinted in the collections of See also:Petitot, See also:Michaud and See also:Buchon. To de Thou we also owe certain other See also:works: a See also:treatise De re accipitraria (1784), a See also:Life, in Latin, of Papyre See also:Masson, some Poemata sacra, &c.
For his life may he consulted the recollections of him collected by the See also:brothers Dupuy (Thuana, sire Excerpta J. A. Thuani per if. P. P., 1669; reprinted in the edition of 1733), and the See also:biographies by J. A. M. Collinson (The Life of Thuanus, 1807), and See also:Duntzer, (De Thou's Leben, 1837).
