Jouffroy says that "It is established by experience that we cannot give our attention to two different objects at the same time." And Holland states that "Two thoughts, however closely related to one another, cannot be presumed to exist at the same time."
Only last year a charming, beautiful young woman, with mon Dieu! a talent that might have placed her on the topmost rank of singers, had married against the fervent entreaties of Jouffroy, and now he shrugged his shoulders with a gesture of pitying contempt "elle est mère tout simplement."
Oldfield says: Person is a subsisting substance or “suppositum,” endued with reason as a man is, that is capable of religion. Thompson says: Person as, applied to Deity, expresses the definite and certain truth that God is a living being and not a dead material energy. Jouffroy says: Personality, in jurisprudence, denotes the capacity of rights and obligations which belong to an intelligent will.
Before we consider the founders of sects, we may glance briefly at the views of some eminent savants who had gained the ear of the public before the July Revolution Jouffroy, Cousin, and Guizot. Cousin, the chief luminary in the sphere of pure philosophy in France in the first half of the nineteenth century, drew his inspiration from Germany.
If I could borrow that eloquence of Jouffroy which made his hearers turn pale, I might bring up before my readers a long array of pallid ghosts, whom these walls knew well in their earthly habiliments. Only a single one of those I met here still survives. The rest are mostly well-nigh forgotten by all but a few friends, or remembered chiefly in their children and grandchildren. "How much?"
He did not pass the Terrasse Jouffroy, but, pausing there, he purchased an evening paper, retraced his steps, and about seven o'clock reached the Cafe Riche, which he entered triumphantly.
The French assert, that experiments in steam-propulsion were made on the Seine, by Count Auxiron and Perrier, in 1774, and on the Saone, by De Jouffroy, in 1782; but we know they led to no practical results, and the knowledge of them probably did not, for some years, travel beyond the limits of the French language.

Always with a perfect politeness," added Jouffroy, panting from excess of emotion. "I must return at once," she said. "I fear something must have gone wrong at home." Jouffroy danced with fury. "But I tell you, Madame, that she will drag you back to your fogs; she will tell you some foolish story, she will address herself to your pity. Your family has doubtless become ill.
The views of these eminent thinkers Cousin, Jouffroy, and Guizot show that quite apart from the doctrines of ideologists and of the "positivists," Saint-Simon and Comte, of whom I have still to speak there was a common trend in French thought in the Restoration period towards the conception of history as a progressive movement.
