He first held a subordinate office under the minister of finance. During he was one of the editors of the Globe, a Paris paper. After the July revolution, he took part with the society Aide-toi at le Ciel t'aidera (q.v.), revised several of its democratic mani festoes, established the Bon Sens, and continued to attack the government of Louis Philippe in the Constilutionnel, the Courrier-Francais, and the I 1ational.

In 1834, he was named Repetiteur for the French literature class in the Ecole Polytechnigue; and in 1838, professor of Greek•and Latin philosophy in the college de l'rance. The revolution of February, however, brought him once more into the political arena. Ile was appointed secretary to the provisional government, but refused his support to the government of Cavaignac, and even appeared as his accuser, though he failed to establish his charges against the suppressor of theJune insurrection. 13. was at first in favor of Louis Napol eon, but the coup ditat on the 2d of Dec., and the overthrow of the constitution, com pelled him to become an oppositionist. Ile then retired for a time from public life, and resigned his chair, but in 1662 he was reappointed. In 1S69, he was returned to the corps lerislatif by the first circumscription of Seine-et-Oise; and, in 1871, to the assem bly for the department of Seine-et-Oise. In 1875, he was elected by the assembly one of the 75 life-members of the new senate.
