His father bought him a German regiment in the French service in 1719 and Saxe quickly won recognition for his innovations in military training especially in musketry.J.M. White: Marshal Saxe is one of the forgotten figures of the first half of the eighteenth century; yet not only is he one of its most vivid personalities but one of its outstanding generals. He takes his place among the great mercenary soldiers of a military age: Schomburg Schulenburg and Prince Eugene in the west Keith and Lacy in the east; and there is leason to rate him even more highly than any of these and compare his achievements with those of Marlborough. At the close of his career Louis XV revived for him the splendid title of Marshal-General of the King’s Camps and Armies a title that had been borne previously only by the legendary Turenne.Expertise by Jean-Paul VEYSSIÈRE Manoir de Bellay 37370 MARRAY .

Book Details Author: Jean-François Marmontel 1723–1799 Content: Part of his famous Memoirs of a Father to serve as instruction for his children Language: French Format: Small antiquarian book format approx. 18 cm Historical Context Posthumous Publication: Written during the French Revolution and first published after his death by his wife. Significance: Provides a key firsthand look at 18th-century French intellectual life the Encyclopédistes and figures of the Enlightenment. Jean-François Marmontel French pronunciation: 11 July 1723 – 31 December 1799 was a French historian writer and a member of the Encyclopédistes movement. He was born of poor parents at Bort Limousin today in Corrèze. After studying with the Jesuits at Mauriac Cantal he taught in their colleges at Clermont-Ferrand and Toulouse; and in 1745 acting on the advice of Voltaire he set out for Paris to try for literary success. From 1748 to 1753 he wrote a succession of tragedies: Denys le Tyran 1748; Aristomene 1749; Cleopâtre 1750; Heraclides 1752; Egyptus 1753. These literary works though only moderately successful on the stage secured Marmontel's introduction into literary and fashionable circles.He wrote a series of articles for the Encyclopédie evincing considerable critical power and insight which in their collected form under the title Eléments de Littérature still rank among the French classics. He also wrote several comic operas the two best of which probably are Sylvain 1770 and Zémire et Azore 1771. In the Gluck–Piccinni controversy he was an eager partisan of Piccinni with whom he collaborated in Roland Piccinni 1778 and Atys 1779 both using Jean Baptiste Lully's libretto by Quinault as basis Didon 1783 and Penelope 1785. In 1758 he gained the patronage of Madame de Pompadour who obtained for him a place as a civil servant and the management of the official journal Le Mercure in which he had already begun the famous series of Contes moraux. The merit of these tales lies partly in the delicate finish of the style but mainly in the graphic and charming pictures of French society under King Louis XV. The author was elected to the Académie Française in 1763. In 1767 he published Bélisaire now remarkable in part because of a chapter on religious toleration which incurred the censure of the Sorbonne and the archbishop of Paris. Marmontel retorted in Les Incas ou la destruction de l'empire du Perou 1777 by tracing the cruelties in Spanish America to the religious fanaticism of the invaders. He was appointed historiographer of France 1771 secretary to the academy 1783 and professor of history in the Lycée 1786. As a historiographer Marmontel wrote a history of the regency 1788. Reduced to poverty by the French Revolution Marmontel retired during the Reign of Terror to Evreux and soon afterwards to a cottage at Abloville near Saint-Aubin-sur-Gaillon in the département of Eure. There he wrote Memoires d'un père 4 vols. 1804 including a picturesque review of his life a literary history of two important reigns a great gallery of portraits extending from the venerable Jean Baptiste Massillon whom more than half a century previously he had seen at Clermont to Honoré Mirabeau. The book was nominally written for the instruction of his children. It contains an exquisite picture of his own childhood in the Limousin; its value for the literary historian is great. Marmontel lived for some time under the roof of Madame Geoffrin and was present at her famous dinners given to artists; he was welcomed into most of the houses where the encyclopaedists met and was a contributor to the Encyclopédie ou Dictionnaire raisonné des sciences des arts et des métiers. He thus had at his command the best material for his portraits and made good use of his opportunities After a short stay in Paris when elected in 1797 to the Conseil des Anciens he died at Abloville. He was a member of the Masonic lodge Les Neuf Sœurs. John Ruskin named him as one of the three people in history who were the most influential for him. In his autobiography John Stuart Mill credits Mémoires d'un père with curing him of depression. M Feltier. hardcover
