LANFREY, PIERRE (1828-1877)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 171 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LANFREY, PIERRE (1828-1877) , French historian and politician, was born at
Chambery
  (
Savoie
 ) on the 26th of October
1828. His father had been one of
Napoleon
 's
officers
 . The son studied philosophy and history in Paris and wrote historical works of an
anti
 -clerical and rationalizing tendency. These included L'Eglise et les philosophes ou X VIIIe siecle (1855; new edition, with a notice of the author by E. de
Pressense
 , 1879); Essai sur la revolution frangaise (1858); Histoire politique des pages (186o); Lettres d'Everard (186o), a novel in the form of letters; Le Retablissement de la Pologne (1863). His magnum
opus
  was his Histoire de
Napoleon
  I" (5 vols., 18671875 and 1886; Eng. trans., 4 vols., 18711879), which ceased unfortunately at the end of 1811 with the preparations for the Russian campaign of 1812. This book, based on the emperor's correspondence published in 18581870, attempted the destruction of the legends which had grown up around his subject, and sought by a
critical
  examination of the documents to explain the motives of his policy. In his desire to controvert current misconceptions and exaggerations of Napoleon's abilities
Lanfrey
  unduly minimized his military and administrative genius. A stanch republican, he was elected to the National Assembly in 1871, became
ambassador
  at Bern (187118'13), and life senator in 1875. He died at Pau on the 15th of November 1877.
His fEuvres completes were published in 12 vols. (1879 seq.), and his Correspondance in 2 vols. (1885).
