obtained the place of a counfellor in parliament. For the 
purpofe of improvement he travelled into Italy, Spain, 
England, and Germany ; and in Swiflerland was near fall¬ 
ing a victim to the hatred of the people again ft the French 
after the battle of Marignano. At Rome he made an ha¬ 
rangue before pope Leo X. who was greatly ftruck with 
his eloquence. Such was bis attachment to Italy, that 
his friends in vain attempted to keep him in France, when 
he revifited it; and, returning to the former country, he 
died at Padua in 1523, at the early age of thirty-four. 
Longueil, or Lcngolius, acquired a great name among 
thofe fchoiars in that age who were fo peculiarly ftudious 
of the purity of their Latin ftyle, that they were termed 
Ckcrmw'ris, that great writer being almoft the foie objeffr 
of their imitation. In Eraiinus’s dialogue entitled Cice> 
ronianus, feveral page6 are devoted to Longolius, aa being 
the only Cilalpiue writer to whom the Italians allowed 
clafiical purity of ftyle. The works of Longolius confift 
of epiftles and harangues, in which more attention is. paid 
to the manner than the matter. They were publifhed at 
Paris, in 1533, Svo. with his life by cardinal Pole. In 
this colledion was omitted his “ Oratio de Laudibus D. 
Ludovici Francorum Regis,” 1510, on account of its free 
Endures on the court ot Rome.

LONGUERU'E (Louis Dufour de), abbot of Sept- 
Fontaines and Jard, a perfon of extraordinary erudition, 
was born in 1652, at Charleville, of a noble family in 
Normandy. The lingular quicknefs of parts which he 
difplayed almoft from infancy was fo well improved by 
an excellent education, that he became at a very early age 
a prodigy of learning. Fie made himfelf matter of the 
clafiical and feveral of the oriental languages, and the 
principal tongues of modern Europe. His memory re¬ 
tained a vaft ftore of faffs in hiftory, chronology, and 
geography, together with philofophicnl fyftems and theo¬ 
logical dogmas; fo that fcarcely any literary topic could 
be (farted on which he did not poffefs more than common 
information. He had a profound knowledge of tiie text 
of the Scriptures, which he ftudic'd philologically, paying 
little regard to fcholaftic divinity'; hence he was fuppoled 
in many points to accede to the opinions of the Protef- 
tants; nor did he at all enter into the difputes concerning 
grace and predeftination which fo much agitated the 
Gallican church in his time. He publilhed little, but 
was extremely communicative of his knowledge in con- 
verfation; in which, however, he affutned an air of fupe- 
riority, with a decilive and dogmatic tone, that exerciled 
the patience of thofe who conlulted him. He was vehe¬ 
ment in difpute, full of farcalfic Tallies, and often rafh and 
hafty in his judgments ; but the learned men w ho enjoyed 
his intimacy wereoften greatly benefited by his aififtance in 
their researches. He was intimately connected with Mont-

LONGUEVAL' (James), a learned French Jefuit and 
eccleliallical hiltsrian, was defeended from a family in 
humble life, and born, at Sauterre,. near Peronne, in Pi¬ 
cardy, in the year 16S0. He was educated in grammar¬ 
learning at Amiens, and purified his philofophical ftudies 
at Paris, where he diftinguifhed himfelf among his fellow- 
ftudents by his abilities and proficiency. In the year 1699 
he entered into the, fociety of Jefus; in which, after com¬ 
pleting Ins courfe of academic Itudies,he taught the belle* 
lettres during five years at the college of La Fleche with 
great applaule, and afterwards delivered lectures for four 
years on divinity and the facred feriptnres. He embarked 
in the religious controveriies of the times, and wrote a 
variety of pieces, which were publifhed without his name, 
excepting two treatifes; one on Schifm, 1718, i2ino. and 
the other on Miracles, 1730, 4to. But his reputation is 
chiefly founded on his elaborate Hiftory of the Gallican 
Church, in 4to. which difplays profound erudition, deep 
refearch, judicious criticifmi, and, upon the whole, great 
moderation, and is written in a beautifully-limple ltyle* 
Of this work he lived only topublilh eight volumes, which 
bring his hiftory down to the year 1137. He had nearly* 
completed the ninth and tenth volumes, when his labours 
were terminated by a ftroke of apoplexy in 1735, "'hen be 
was in his fifty-fifth year. The volumes which he left in 
an imperfeft ftate, were completed and publifhed by father 
Fontenay ; who, with fathers Brumoy and Berthier, con¬ 
tinued the author’s plan, till the whole work amounted to’ 
eighteen volumes 410. Moreri.
