ld age, after the Macedonian hero had overturned the Persian
empire. In the manner of modern travellers, he gives an account of the
customs, government and antiquities of the country he is supposed to have
visited; a copious introduction supplies whatever may be wanting in respect
to historical details; whilst various dissertations on the music of the
Greeks, on the literature of the Athenians, and on the economy, pursuits,
ruling passions, manners and customs of the surrounding states supply ample
[v.03 p.0449] information on the subjects of which they treat. Modern
scholarship has superseded most of the details in the _Voyage_, but the
author himself did not imagine his book to be a register of accurately
ascertained facts; he rather intended to afford to his countrymen, in an
interesting form, some knowledge of Greek civilization. The _Charicles_ of
W. A. Becker is an attempt in a similar direction, but, though superior in
scholarship, it wants the charm of style of the _Anacharsis_.

Barthelemy's correspondence with Paolo Paciaudi, chiefly on antiquarian
subjects, was edited with the _Correspondance inedite du comte de Caylus_
in 1877 by Ch. Nisard; his letters to the comte de Caylus were published by
Antoine Serieys as _Voyage en Italie_ (1801); and his letters to Mme du
Deffand, with whom he was on intimate terms, in the _Correspondance
complete de Mme du Deffand avec la duchesse de Choiseul, l'abbe Barthelemy
et M. Craufurt_ (3 vols., 1866), edited by the marquis de Sainte-Aulaire.
See also _Memoires sur la vie de l'abbe Barthelemy, ecrits par lui-meme_
(1824), with a notice by Lalande. His _Oeuvres completes_ (4 vols. 1821),
contain a notice by Villenave.

BARTHELEMY SAINT-HILAIRE, JULES (1805-1895), French philosopher and
statesman, was born at Paris on the 19th of August 1805. In his early years
he was an active political journalist, and from 1826 to 1830 opposed the
reactionary policy of the king in _Le Globe_. At the revolution of 1830 he
signed the protestation of the journalists on the 28th of July 1830. After
1830 he contributed to different newspapers--_Le Constitutionnel_, _Le
National_ and the _Courrier francais_--until 1833, when he gave up politics
in order to devote himself to the history of ancient philosophy,
undertaking a translation of Aristotle, which occupied him the greater part
of his life (1837-1892). The reputation which he gained from this work won
for him the chair of ancient philosophy a
