Louis de Carné

Louis-Joseph Marcelin , comte de Carné , (born February 17, 1804 in Quimper , † February 11, 1876 with Quimper) was a French journalist, politician and historian.

Life

Louis de Carné came from an impoverished noble family. At the age of 16 he was taken in by a great uncle who enabled him to study in Paris . In 1825 de Carné, a Catholic and supporter of the royalists, began a diplomatic career in the Foreign Ministry. After the July Revolution in 1830, he joined the July Monarchy and in 1833 became General Councilor of the Finistère Department and was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in 1839, where he remained until the February Revolution of 1848 . He wrote for the Journal des Débats , the Revue des Deux Mondes and for the Correspondant and published books on politics and history.

In 1863 he was able to prevail in the election for the 12th chair of the Académie française in the third ballot against Émile Littré . This election attracted a great deal of attention and was considered a coup, as de Carné was elected by supporters of the Church and supporters of François Guizot .
