HAVIN, Leonor Joseph, French politician: b. Paris, 1799; d. 1868. He followed the pro fession of the law, and in 1830 was made jus tice of the peace at Saint-L6. From 1830 to 1847 Mr. Havin represented department of La Manche in the Chamber of Deputies. There he was a prominent leader of the opposition and took a prominent part in the agitation which resulted in the February revolution. Never theless, Havin joined the Moderate party in the memorable National Assembly of 1848-49 and was prominent in all Republican movements until the coup &hot of Napoleon when he was ousted from the State Council. He continued, however, his preachments of liberal and Re publican doctrines in the columns of the news paper, Le Sulcle, which he controlled.
HAVLItEK, havle-chelc, Karel, Bohe mian journalist and litterateur: b. Borovi, whence he was frequently called °Havel Bo rovsky,D 1821; d. 1856. was educated at the University of Prague, and for some time was employed as a teacher in Moscow. About
1848 he returned to Bohemia and became edi tor of the Ndrodni Noviny for two years, after which he edited the Siouan. His liberal articles in the latter displeased the reactionary authori ties of that day and Havlicek was incarcerated at Brixen in the Tirol in 1851. The 'Tyrolese Elegies' date from this period and are a sar castic commentary on the political state of Aus tria at that time. In 1855 Havlicek returned to his native land but survived only a year, dying at Prague in 1856. Among his popular works are the ballad 'Kral and the satire Kest sv. Vladimira' (1877). He also made numerous translations from Gogol, Voltaire and other authors. There are German transla tions of almost all his works. Consult the biog raphy by Tuma (Prague 1883).
