[7] Anne Buisson de La Vigne (1772-1813) married, in 1789, Hervé Louis Joseph Marie Comte du Plessix de Parscau (1762-1831). She died at Lymington in Hampshire, and is buried there with seven of her thirteen children. In 1814, the Comte de Parscau married Mademoiselle de Kermalun, a lady of forty, for the sake of the six young children left to him.--B. [8] Knight of St. Louis.--T. [9] Céleste Buisson de La Vigne (1774-1847), who became Madame de Chateaubriand.--B. [10] Michel Bossinot de Vauvert (1724-1809), formerly a king's counsel and attorney to the Admiralty. He was an uncle, "Brittany fashion," of Mademoiselle Buisson de La Vigne.--B. [11] George Gordon, sixth Lord Byron (1788-1824), the poet.--T. [12] Francis II. Emperor of Germany (1768-1835) ascended the Imperial Throne in 1792. In 1808 he renounced his title and assumed that of Emperor of Austria, as Francis I.--T. [13] Blessed Benedict Joseph Labre (1748-1783) had died, after a life supported by unsolicited alms and spent in constant mortifications, of a tumour in the leg resulting from his habit of being always upon his knees.--T. [14] The Abbé Jean Jacques Barthélemy (1716-1795), Keeper of the Royal Cabinet of Medals, member of the French Academy and the Academy of Inscriptions, and a distinguished archæologist. In 1788 he published his _Voyage du jeune Anacharsis en Grèce vers le milieu du IVe. siècle avant l'ère vulgaire_, which made his name. He spent the greater portion of his life with the Duc and Duchesse de Choiseul on their estate of Chanteloup, near Amboise.--T. [15] Ange François Fariau (1747-1810), known as M. de Saint-Ange, became a member of the French Academy just before his death. His translations in verse of the _Metamorphoses_ and other of Ovid's works are of great merit; but he appears to have been cursed with inordinate vanity, in addition to the stupidity of which Chateaubriand speaks.--T. [16] Jacques Henri Bernardin de Saint-Pierre (1737-1814), the famous author of the _Études de la nature_ and of _Paul et Virginie._ He preached virtue in all his works; his personal character and conduct were far from being irreproachable.--T. [17] 30 January 1791.--B. [18] "D'Egmont with Love one day this bank her presence gave; For a moment the water stained With the image of her beauty upon the fleeting wave: Then D'Egmont disappeared; and Love alone remained.--T." [19] By Carbon de Flins des Oliviers.--T. [20] "Our brave defenders' warlike zeal Wakes pride within my breast, But when through gore the people reel, Their fury I detest. Let Europe of us dwell in fear, Let us live ever free, But Gallic wit our lives shall cheer, And amiability."--T. [21] Anne Joseph Terwagne, Demoiselle Théroigne de Méricourt (1762-1817), a formidable virago of the Revolution. She was fustigated and driven insane by her fellow-bacchanals in October 1792, and died mad at the Salpétrière.--T.
