Louis Étienne Arthur Dubreuil, Vicomte De La Guéronnière
Louis Étienne Arthur du Breuil, vicomte de La Guéronnière (1816 – 23 December 1875) was a French politician and aristocrat, the member of a notable Poitou family. Biography Although from early on connected with Legitimism, he became closely associated with the Republican Alphonse de Lamartine, to whose paper, ''Le Bien Public'', he was a principal contributor. After ''Le Bien Public'' came to an end, he wrote for '' La Presse'', and in 1850 edited ''Le Pays''. A character sketch of Louis-Napoléon Bonaparte in this journal caused differences with Lamartine, and La Guéronnière became more and more closely identified with the policy of the prince-president. Under the Second Empire, he was a member of the ''Conseil d'État'' (1853), senator (1861), ambassador to Belgium (1868), and to the Ottoman Empire (1870), and Grand Officer of the Légion d'honneur (1866). He died in Paris. Besides his ''Études et portraits politiques contemporains'' (1856) his most important work ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
