 He spent some years at St. Peters-

 ful performances there were in

 Le Mannequin d'Osier, Zola's L'As-

Guittone di Arezzo (c. 1235- 

 94). Italian poet and writer. 

 One of the most influential of the 

 forerunners of Dante, he is credited 

 with having first given the sonnet 

 its enduring form, and with being 

 the author of the first known 

 Italian epistolary writings. He 

 modelled his style on that of 

 Seneca, as the later Humanists 

 did on that of Cicero, and thereby 

 somewhat hampered the national 

 development of Italian literature. 

 He is frequently referred to as 

 Fra Guittone from his having 

 joined the military and religious 

 order of the Cavalieri de Santa 

 Maria.

Guizot, FRANQOIS PIERRE GUIL- 

 LAUME (1787-1874). French states- 

 man, historian, and academician. 

 Born at 

 Nimes, Oct. 4. 

 1787, of Hu- 

 guenot paren- 

 t a g e and 

 brought up as 

 a Protestant at 

 Geneva, he 

 went to Paris 

 in 1 8 5 t o 

 study law. 

 There he soon 

 attracted at- 

 tention by his 

 journal istic 

 writings, and 

 in 1812 was 

 appointed professor of modern 

 history in the university of France. 

 Under Louis XVIII he held 

 several administrative offices and 

 became the leader of the Doc- 

 trinaires or moderate Liberals ; but 

 the reactionary policy of Charles 

 X drove him into opposition, and 

 for some time his lectures were in- 

 terdicted. On the accession of 

 Louis Philippe he became minister 

 of the interior and afterwards of 

 public instruction, and in 1840 was 

 sent as French ambassador to 

 London. He remained in England 

 for a few months only, being re- 

 called by the king to take Thiers's 

 place as minister of foreign affairs. 

 In 1847 he became prime minister, 

 and his refusal to yield to various 

 popular demands was largely in- 

 strumental in bringing about the 

 revolution of 1848, which virtually 

 closed his political career. The 

 rest of his life was devoted mainly 

 to literature. He died at Val- 

 Richer, Nqrmandy, Oct. 12, 1874. 



Guizot's historical works of 

 which the most important are 

 Histoire de la Revolution d'An- 

 gleterre, Histoire de la Civilisation 

 en Europe, and Histoire de la 

 Civilisation en France are care- 

 fully written, philosophical in 

 character, and impregnated with 

 his own political ideas. See his 

 Memoires and Life by Bardoux, 

 1894. Pron. Ghee-zo.
