GAILLARD, GABRIEL HENRI (1726-1806)

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 388 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: GAG-GEO
GAILLARD, GABRIEL HENRI (1726-1806) , French historian, was born at Ostel, Picardy, in 1726. He was educated for the bar, but after finishing his studies adopted a literary career, ultimately devoting his
chief
  attention to history. He was already a member of the
Academy
  of
Inscriptions
  and Belles-lettres (176o), when, after the publication of the three first ' volumes of his Histoire de la rivalite de la France et d'Angleterre, he was elected to the French
Academy
  (1771); and when
Napoleon
  created the Institute he was admitted into its third class (Academie franraise) in 1803. For
forty
  years he was the intimate friend of Malesherbes, whose life (1805) he wrote. He died at St Firmin, near
Chantilly
 , on the 13th of February 1806; Gaillard is painstaking and impartial in his statement of facts,
and his style is correct and elegant, but the unity of his narrative is somewhat destroyed by digressions, and by his method of treating war, politics, civil administration, and ecclesiastical affairs under separate heads. His most important
work
  is his Histoire de la rivalite de la France et de l'Angleterre (in ri vols., 1771-1777); and among his other works may be mentioned Essai de rhetorique francaise, d l'usage des jeunes demoiselles (1745), often reprinted, and in 1822 with a life of the author; Histoire de Marie de Bourgogne (1757) ; Histoire de Francois I" (7 vols., 1776-1779); Histoire des grandes querelles entre Charles V. et Francois Ie' (2 vols., 1777); Histoire de Charlemagne (2 vols., 1782); Histoire de la rivalite de la France et de l'Espagne (8 vols., 18o1); Dictionnaire historique (6 vols., 1789-1804), making part of the Encyclopedie methodique; and Melanges litteraires, containing 'loges on Charles V.,
Henry
  IV., Descartes, Corneille, La Fontaine, Malesherbes and others.
