MONTEIL, AMANS ALEXIS (17691850) , French historian, was born at Rodez in 1769, and died at Cely (Seine-et-
Marne
 ) in 185o. His tastes were historical, and he taught history at Rodez, at
Fontainebleau
  and at St Cyr. He held that a disproportionate importance had been given to kings, their ministers and generals, and that it was necessary rather to study the
people
 . In his Histoire des francais des divers etas, ou histoire de France aux cinq derniers siecles (10 vols., 18281844) he undertook to describe the different classes and occupations of the community. For this he made a collection of manuscripts, which he sold in 1835 (many of them passed into the library of Sir
Thomas
  Philipps), drawing up a catalogue under the singular title of Traite de materiaux manuscrits de divers genres d'histoire. He boasted of having been the first to write really " national " history, and he wished further to show this in a memoir entitled L'
Influence
  de l'histoire des divers etats, ou comment fill allee la France si elle eat eu cette histoire. (184o; reprinted in 1841 under
766
the title: Les Francais pour la premiere fois clans l'histoire de France, ou poetique de l'histoire des divers etats).
Monteil
  did not invent the history of civilization, but he was one of the first in France, and perhaps in Europe, to point out its extreme importance. He revised the third edition of his history himself (5 vols., 1848); a fourth appeared after his death with a
preface
  by Jules Janin (5 vols., 1853).
