Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HIG-HOR
HIMLY (LOUIS), AUGUSTE (18231906) , French historian and geographer, was born at Strassburg on the 28th of
March
  1823. After studying in his native town and taking the university course in Berlin (18421843) he went to Paris, and passed first in the examination for fellowship (agregation) of the lycees (1845), first in the examinations on leaving the l Cole des Chartes, and first in the examination for fellowship of the faculties (1849). In 1849 he took the degree of
doctor
  of letters with two theses, one of which, IVala et Louis le Debonnaire (published in Paris in 1849), placed him in the front rank of French scholars in the province of Carolingian history. Soon, however, he turned his attention to the study of geography. In 1858 he obtained an appointment as teacher of geography at the Sorbonne, and henceforth devoted himself to that subject. It was not till 1876 that he published, in two, volumes, his remarkable Histoire de to formation territoriale des etats de l'Europe centrale, in which he showed with a firm, but sometimes slightly heavy
touch
 ,the reciprocal influence exerted by geography and history. While the
work
  gives evidence throughout of wide and well-directed research, he preferred to write it in the form of a student's
manual
 ; but it was a
manual
  so
original
  that it gained him admission to the Institute in 1881. In that year he was appointed dean of the faculty of letters, and for ten years he directed the intellectual
life
  of that
great
  educational centre during its development into a
great
  scientific
body
 . He died at Sevres on the 6th of October 1906.
