  Henri Gregoire - LoveToKnow 1911
HENRI GREGOIRE (1750-1831), French revolutionist and constitutional bishop of Blois, was born at Veho near Luneville, on the 4th of December 1750, the son of a peasant.
On the establishment of the new constitution, Gregoire was elected to the Council of 500, and after the 18th Brumaire he became a member of the Corps Legislatif, then of the Senate (1801).
On the day after his death Gregoire's funeral was celebrated at the church of the Abbaye-aux-Bois; the clergy of the church had absented themselves in obedience to the archbishop's orders, but mass was sung by the abbe Grieu assisted by two clergy, the catafalque being decorated with the episcopal insignia.

GrEgoire took the oath of the Civil Constitution of the Clergy (even though it was condemned by the pope) and became constitutional bishop of Blois in 1791.
In 1819 he was elected to the chamber of deputies but, as a radical and a dissident priest, was refused his seat.
GrEgoire died in poverty; his burial was the scene of a great liberal demonstration.

 PERSIAN WARS: The Battle of Salamis - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)©
He observed that the text indicates that only a part of the Persian fleet fought at Salamis, while the rest formed a line extending from Munichia to the coast of the Peloponnese.
In 1952, followers of Gregoire, G. Smets and A. Dorsinfangs-Smets, reviewed carefully not only the evidence provided by Herodotus, but also that provided by other sources, and conluded: "the very evidence itself indicates that the entire Persian fleet was not at Salamis and that only its western wing was engaged in the battle." (86)
When confronted with the arguments of Gregoire, some scholars decided to ignore them and some decided to rehash some old discarded contentions.

 H-Net Review: Alyssa Goldstein Sepinwall on On the Cultural Achievements of Negroes
Largely a summary of published and secondary sources on Gregoire's colonial and abolitionist activities, it offers an overwhelmingly positive (if fairly standard) view of Gregoire as a crusading egalitarian, a "sharp tongued and pugnacious advocate for people oppressed because of their religion or their race" (p.
Finally, the editors portray Gregoire as a lonely voice of abolitionism in a hostile racist climate, without mentioning that many of his "opponents" were actually close friends, and that his opinions on the connections between physiognomy and morality were often close to theirs.
Gregoire may have much to teach us today, but we need to see him in all of his complexities.

Briere points out that Henri Gregoire was one of the first people in the early 1800s to support human rights and the abolition of slavery.
Gregoire maintained that all races were inherently equal in a time when scientific studies were attempting to prove that fls were biologically inferior to whites.
This was a very important book for Gregoire because he was one of the first to publically attack these theories," said Briere.
