 | | Its Troisième Classe was entitled the Classe de Littérature et Beaux-Arts, and covered grammar, ancient languages, poetry, antiquities and monuments, painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and oratory (Institut de France (1995), p.20). |
 | | According to p.29 of Institut de France (1995), Bonaparte decided, on the advice of a commission, to resurrect the former academies, but within the bosom of the Institut; so, on 1803, January 23, the Institut was re-organized into four classes corresponding to the academies suppressed by the Revolution. |
 | | On 1816, March 21, Louis XVIII issued an order fixing the statutes of the Institut; one notable change was the return of the designation of Académie to the constituent parts of the Institut (Institut de France (1995), p.310). |
