		LA BRUYERE, JEAN DE (1645-1696), French essayist and moralist, was born in Paris on the f 6th of August 1645, and not, as was once the common statement, at Dourdan (Seine-et-Oise) in 1639.
		His family was of the middle class, and his reference to a certain Geoffroy de la Bruyre, a crusader, is only a satirical illustration of a method of self-ennoblement common in France as in some other countries.
		La Bruybres discourse of admission at the Academy, one of the best of its kind, was, like his admission itself, severely criticized, especially by the partisans of the Moderns in the Ancient and Modern quarrel.

		Au 17e siècle d'abord, sous le règne de Louis XIII dirigé par Richelieu, les missions catholiques connurent en effet un essor considérable, relayé au 19e siècle par la création ou l'expansion de nombreux instituts qui multiplièrent les fondations scolaires et charitables.

	Louis Charles Mahe de la Bourdonnais (1795-1840)
		In my opinion, de la Bourdonnais (1797-1840) was, by far, the world’s strongest player from about 1821 to the time of his death (this is remarkable since he only learned how to play in 1814, and he didn’t study the game seriously until 1818).
		A pupil of the incredibly strong Frenchman Deschapelles (1780-1847), de la Bourdonnais eventually became so skilled that he dominated all other players from his own country and, as a result, was forced to visit England in an effort to prove his superiority over everyone else, too.
		While most players of that time were pure tacticians and attackers, de la Bourdonnais understood positional chess and played excellent endgames (of course, he could also go after an opponent’s King with the same zeal as everyone else!).
