of Edinburgh, Session 1807 - 68 . 
After the Revolution of February 1848, Cousin ceased to take a 
part in political affairs. At the instance of General Cavagnac, 
however, he published a popular edition of his Profession de foi 
d'un vicaire Savoyard , and of his Justice et Charite, in which he 
attacked the socialism of the day. In order to please the clerical 
party, he republished several of his former lectures in a volume, 
entitled Du Vrai , Du Beau , et Du Bien. During the last twenty 
years his chair in the Sorbonne had been filled by a substitute, 
and in 1852 he was, along with Guizot and Villemain, placed on 
the retired list, with the rank of Honorary Professor. 
Between 1818 and 1865 Cousin produced many valuable works. 
In 1842 he edited the Pensces of Pascal, in which the original text 
was restored. In 1853 he began his historical biographies of the 
most remarkable women of the 18th century, of Madame de 
Longueville, Madame de Sable, Madame de Chevreuse, Madame de 
Hautefort, and Jacqueline Pascal. In 1863 he published his 
General History of Philosophy from the most remote times down to 
the 1 8th Century. His works include his Philosophical Fragments , 
in 2 vols., his editions of Plato, Proclus, and Descartes, his Meta- 
physics of Aristotle , his Scholastic Philosophy , his Lectures on the 
Philosophy of Kant, his Lectures on the History of Scottish Philosophy , 
including an account of Hutcheson, Reid, Dugald Stewart, Beattie, 
and Ferguson, and his Literary Fragments. He contributed also 
many papers to the Memoirs of the Academy of Moral and Political 
Sciences, and to the Journal des Savants , and the Revue des Deux 
Mondes. 
Owing to his failing health, Cousin had for several years spent 
the winter at Cannes. When he went there in December 1866, 
the state of his health was by no means alarming; but he was taken 
ill in the beginning of the present year, and he died on the 15th of 
January, in the seventy-fifth year of his age.
