The duties of civil life may be confidered as the ce¬ 
ment of fociety. Allegiance is the duty of the people, 
protection the duty of the magiftrate ; yet they are reci¬

legiance is the right of the magiftrate, and protection the 
right of the people. 
DU'VAL (Valentine Jameray), imperial librarian, 
and keeper of the cabinet of coins at Vienna, born at 
Artonay, in Champagne, in 1695. At the age of ten 
he loft his father and mother, peafants in poor circum- 
ftances, who left a numerous family in a ftate of the 
utmoft indigence. Two years after he wandered into 
Lorraine, where he was feized with the fmall-pox, and 
muft have periftied for W'ant of bread, had not a poor 
ftiepherd taken him to his Iheep-cot, where he had no 
other bed than the dung upon the ground. His hardy 
conftitution got the better of the difeafe, and he was 
afterwards employed by the hermits of St. Anne, near 
Luneville, to watch their cattle. Among thefe hermits 
he learnt to read, and a few pamphlets which here fell 
into his hands, excited his anxious mind to a love of 
books. He often fought out in the neighbouring woods 
home folitary corner, where he fpent the greater part of 
the fummer nights contemplating the heavens, and 
endeavouring to make himfelf acquainted with the 
celeftial bodies. To aflift him in this purfuit, he con- 
ftructed, in the top of an oak, a kind of feat of wild vines 
and willow twigs interwoven. He purchafed at Lune¬ 
ville a celeftial chart, and a few maps of different 
countries: He now ftudied geography and aftronomy 
ainidll: fo many difficulties that it muft appear wonderful 
how he was able, by the happy impulfe of genius alone, 
to overcome the moft abftrufe ftudies, and to acquire a 
knowledge of the lublimeft fciences. In order to obtain 
books, he laid fnares for wild cats, foxes, and other 
animals ; hunted many of them at the hazard of his life, 
and fold their Ikins, by which he raifed money to gratify 
his third for knowledge. An accident procured him the 
protection of an Englifhman at Luneville, the celebrated 
naturaiift Forfter, through whofe alliftance the number 
of his books food increaled to four hundred volumes. 
While engaged one day in deep meditation, under a tree.
