Prosper de Haulleville

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Prosper Charles Alexandre, Baron de Haulleville (born May 28, 1830 in Echternach , Luxembourg , † April 25, 1898 in Brussels ) was a Belgian publicist and leader of a Catholic conservative party.

Life

Baron Haulleville (pronounced olwil), from a family of emigrants from Lorraine , became professor of natural law at the University of Ghent in 1856 after studying law in Liege , Brussels, Paris and Bonn . He owed this position to the De Decker - Vilain XIIII Ministry , after whose overthrow in 1857 he was removed from office. He then took part in the founding of the Catholic-constitutional opposition newspaper L'Universel and in 1860 became its editor-in-chief. In 1865 he took over the management of the Revue générale and at the same time, in early 1878, that of the Journal de Bruxelles , the most outstanding newspaper of the Constitutional Catholic party in Belgium. He later became chief curator of the royal arts and crafts and archaeological museum and, in 1887, a history professor at the military academy.
