Excerpt from The History of Christianity, Vol. 1
Etienner Ursin Bouzique, the author of this "History of Christianity, " was born at Cheteauneuf-sur-Cher the 7th January 1801. He went through his preliminary culture in the College of Bourges, and studied jurisprudence in Paris. Admitted to the bar in Bourges, he consecrated his leisure to general literature, and published a translation into French verse of the eighth, tenth, and fourteenth "Satires of Juvenal" (Paris, 1825, 8vo). Afterwards he put forth the whole of. them with the Latin in the opposite page. This well-executed and scholarly work, which appeared in 1843, and in a new edition in 1854, procured for him high literary repute. Prompted by his truly enlightened and liberal patriotism, both before and after the Revolution of 1830, which seated Louis Philippe on the throne of France, Mons. Bouzique formed part of the Radical opposition, and in 1833 was elected member of the General Council, in which he ceased not to combat the administration. In 1848 he was, by acclamation, appointed mayor of the city of Bourges, and elected representative of the constituent assembly with all but unanimity of the votes, the candidates being in number seven. A member of the Committee of Justice, he ordinarily voted with the moderate democratic party. After the election of the 10th of December, he took his stand in the ranks of the Republican opposition until the last days of the constituent assembly.
