Madame Guizot was a living type of the Huguenots of the 16th century, stern in her principles and her faith, immovable in her convictions and her sense of duty.
Guizot immediately assumed an important position in the representative assembly, and the first speech he delivered was in defence of the celebrated address of the 22!, in answer to the menacing speech from the throne, which was followed by the dissolution of the chamber, and was the precursor of another revolution.
Guizot was called upon by his friends Casimir-Prier, Laffitte, Villemain and Dupin to draw up the protest of the liberal deputies against the royal ordinances of July, whilst he applied himself with them to control the revolutionary character of the late contest.

 François Guizot - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
During these years Guizot was one of the leaders of the Doctrinaires, a small party strongly attached to the charter and the crown, and advocating a policy which has become associated (especially by Émile Faguet) with the name of Guizot, that of the juste milieu, a via media between absolutism and popular government.

Guizot finds in the reign of William III only two points worth mentioning: the preservation of the balance of power between Parliament and crown, and the preservation of the European balance of power through the wars against Louis XIV.
Guizot is just as little able to explain the interrelationship between the religious movement and the development of bourgeois society.
Guizot omits the most momentous points, there is nothing left for him but the highly unsatisfactory and banal narration of mere political events.

 SPANISH MARRIAGE CRISIS: Guizot Palmerston correspondence continued   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Guizot indeed says that the stipulations of Utrecht will suffice for the future, as they have done for the past for the interests of peace, and for the balance or power in Europe.
Mr Guizot adverts to the Treaty of Utrecht and contends that, although that Treaty prevents the union of the Crowns of France and Spain upon one head, it does not interdict marriages between the Royal Houses of France and Spain.
And Mr Guizot most assuredly does not forget that in the hundred years which preceded the Treaty of Utrecht, twice did it happen that a Spanish Princess was married to a French Prince, and that, on each of those occasions, that principle of European balance was acknowledged by formal and publicly recorded acts.

Guizot and his supporters believed in a government not of the “numerical majority but a government by the majority of those that are qualified to govern.”[4] This referred to the upper bourgeoisie.
Guizot wrote in his memoirs that knowledge gained from the past should be valued and used to defend present political goals.
Guizot and his supporters became more and more wrapped up with the belief of their success, and more and more blind to the social and economical problems that existed outside of the Chamber of Deputies.

 Spectator, The: Return of a forgotten historian
Guizot was minister of Foreign Affairs in France from 29 October 1840 to 26 September 1847 when he officially became Prime Minister (although in practice it was he who had all the time been the directing force of the government).
Guizot himself, when he had been ill and when a friend enquired if he was feeling better, replied that he was much better.
Guizot was not alone in being forgotten (although as the historians showed that the Orleans monarchy was particularly corrupt and reserved for an unattractive bourgeoisie, he was probably the most despised).

 Treaty Utrecht Guizot Palmerston Louis-Philippe Orléans Roi des Français Antoine Duc de Montpensier Isabel II   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Guizot replied on 5 Oct, emphatically rejecting the British interpretation of events, and stating: "The English (sic) Government also invokes, as fundamental to its protest, the treaty of Utrecht and the rules that it instituted for the succession to the Crown of Spain, in the interests of peace and European equilibrium.
At the same time, Guizot is indeed correct to point out that it is nonsensical to exclude any Spanish Prince who marries an Orléans descendant, and that the allies had ignored the several marriages made before the repeal of semi-Salic law.
Guizot's reply, while evidently not satisfactorily ending the matter as far as Great Britain was concerned, represented a final statement by the French Government on this issue.

As an opposition deputy he was involved in the July Revolution of 1830 and became one of the leading intellectual exponents of the bourgeois July Monarchy of Louis Philippe.
His leadership provided a stable government, but his complacent acceptance of the established order led to his overthrow in the February Revolution of 1848, which forced the abdication of Louis Philippe.
Guizot devoted the rest of his life to writing.

François Pierre Guillaume Guizot (October 4, 1787 -September 12, 1874), historian, orator and statesman, was born at Nîmes of an honourable Protestant family belonging to the bourgeoisie of that city.
It is characteristic of the cruel disabilities which still weighed upon the Protestants of France before the Revolution, that his parents, at the time of their union, could not be publicly or legally married by their own pastors, and that the ceremony was clandestine.
In the days of his exile in 1848 she followed him to London, and there at a very advanced age closed her life and was buried at Kensal Green.

The French political philosopher and historian François Guizot (1787-1874) was one of the French Doctrinaires, thinkers who sought to avoid the interpretations of the Revolution advanced by either extreme of Left or Right.

Guizot reasons as if men were composed of the same men- tal and moral elements to-day, as upon descending from the ark. He recognizes no normal progression in man or in govern- ment.
Guizot concludes against the Demo- crats, by calling their sufficiency tf Lib- erty tenet, an error of pride.~~ From the preceding may not we in turn conclude against the Doctrinarians, that their s~f- ficiency of Intellect involves more pride and no less error.
Guizot himself, who, both, no doubt think a return to it to be the final destiny and sole salvation of France.

 France February Revolution 1848
Like the French revolution of 1830, a conservative minister was the focus of resentment in France in 1848, but this later revolt also included working-class members angry at the government's failure to relieve the depression of 1846-47.
The offending minister was Francois Guizot (1787-1874); the unpopular monarch was King Louis-Philippe (1773-1850).
France's opposition parties, forbidden direct campaigning for a forth-coming election, instead wittily held a "banquet campaign"; when their most important gathering, slated for February 22 in Paris, was forbidden by the king and Guizot, the Parisians gathered in force at the banquetting place, and street fighting erupted.

Foreseeing the probability of a rupture with the Guizot Ministry, he collected accounts of scandalous transactions, bribings, and traffickings, which he was in the best position to learn, and which were brought to him by his friends and agents in high places.
Guizot and Duchâtel were obliged to throw several of their colleagues overboard in order to save themselves.
There can be no doubt that Guizot and Duchâtel will, with their colleagues, resign very shortly; they may drag on their ministerial existence a few weeks longer, but their end is drawing nigh — very nigh.

~ Guizot, the chief minister, earned the hatred of many liberals because of his insistence on restricting suffrage to men of property.

Round the Hôtel des Capucines, where Guizot resided, there was a heavy force of military, of troops of the line, dragoons, and municipal guard, who occupied the pavement and forced everyone on to the carriage way.
When the proclamation was made that the Guizot ministry had been dismissed, the military were gradually withdrawn, and wherever this occurred, tranquillity followed.
Guizot, however, conscious of the intense hatred which was felt toward him, kept his house guarded like a fortress.

In the same way, Guizot also imagines that, as French Prime Minister, he carried on his shoulders the responsibility of preserving the proper equilibrium between Parliament and crown, as well as the European balance of power, and in reality he did nothing but huckster French society away piecemeal to the moneyed Jews of the Paris
