The Next To Him Is M. Gauthier, Who Had Been A Lawyer, And Held A Considerable Post As A Magistrate In The Time Of The Republic And Under The Empire.[70] He Possesses A Good Deal Of Talent, Close Logical Reasoning, And Has Determined Public Principle.

The next, M. Michaud, had been also an advocate, and is possessor of considerable property in the department of

The Doubs;[71] he is a most rigid unbending republican, something in the style of Verrina in Schiller's Fiesco; he opposed the assumption of the supreme power by Buonaparte on the 18th Brumaire; he voted against the Consulship for life, as well as against the assumption of the Imperial dignity. He is a very good classical scholar. He is a widower and has with him here Mlle Elisa, his only daughter, who follows her father's fortunes. She is a very amiable and accomplished young lady; she has a thorough knowledge of music and of painting in oils, and is classically versed in the Italian language.
