Among my professors were such men as St. Marc Girardin, Arnould, and, at a later period, Laboulaye.
Now, that which the law has made the law can unmake; especially since, according to M. Laboulaye, an avowed partisan of the historical or pantheistic school, the law is not absolute, is not an idea, but a form. But why is it that property is variable, and, unlike obligation, incapable of definition and settlement?
The only exception of importance was Laboulaye, professor at the Coll<e!>ge de France, and his lecture-room was a center of good influences in favor of the American cause; in the midst of that frivolous Napoleonic France he seemed by far ``the noblest Roman of them all. The main effort in our behalf was made by Mr.
Laboulaye, in La Liberté religieuse, calls Luis de Leon 'le premier lyrique de l'Europe moderne'. This phrase dates from 1859, and was addressed to a generation which delighted in arranging authors in something like the order of a class list.
Its editor is M. Laboulaye. The first volume of the Oriental Historians of the Crusaders, translated into French, is now going through the press, and the second is in course of preparation. The greater part of the first volume of the Greek Historians of the same chivalrous wars is also printed, and the work is going rapidly forward.
But this law itself, on what did it bear? what was its principle? what was the philosophy of the councils and popes with reference to this matter? The reply to all these questions, coming from me alone, would be distrusted. The authority of M. Laboulaye shall give credence to my words.
It is said that, whenever a poor man refused to give his estate to the bishop, the curate, the count, the judge, or the centurion, these immediately sought an opportunity to ruin him. They made him serve in the army until, completely ruined, he was induced, by fair means or foul, to give up his freehold." Laboulaye: History of Property.
M. Laboulaye, in his learned work on Count Balbo, says: “It was necessary that the Princes should be induced to take an interest in the independence which concerned them so much, by forming a confederation like the Zolverein, which has so powerfully contributed to the union and the greatness of Germany.
His father kept a general store in a little town called Hosea. Pettit had been raised in the pine-woods and broom-sedge fields adjacent thereto. He had in his gripsack two manuscript novels of the adventures in Picardy of one Gaston Laboulaye, Vicompte de Montrepos, in the year 1329. That's nothing. We all do that.
As to manner, he was the best lecturer on history I heard in Germany; and, with the exception of Laboulaye at the Coll<e!>ge de France, Seelye at English Cambridge, and Goldwin Smith at Cornell, the best I ever heard anywhere. Especially delightful were sundry men of letters. Of these I knew best Auerbach, whose delightful ``Dorfgeschichten'' were then in full fame.
