Étienne Lamy

Étienne Marie Victor Lamy (2 June 1845, in Cize, Jura – 9 January 1919) was a French author.

He was educated at the College Stanislas and became a doctor of law in 1870. From 1871 to 1881 he was a deputy from his native department, Jura, and his earlier writings were political and historical. In the House of Deputies he was a member of the Left, but he broke with his party and became a clerical reactionary, writing for the ''Gaulois'' and the ''Correspondant''. In 1905 he became a member of the Académie française (seat #21), and in 1913 he succeeded Thureau-Dangin as its perpetual secretary. Among Lamy's works are: * ''Le tiers parti'' (1868) * ''L'Armée et la democratie'' (1889) * ''La France du Levant'' (1898) * ''Etudes sur le second empire'' (1895) * ''La femme de demain'' (1899) * an edition of the memoirs of Aimée de Coigny (1900) * ''Témoins de jours passés'' (1909, 1913) * ''Au service des idées et des lettres'' (1909) * ''Quelques œuvres et quelques œuvriers'' (1910, 1913) Provided by Wikipedia
