Marc-Antoine Jullien, called Jullien fils (March 10, 1775 in Paris – April 4, 1848 in Paris) was a French revolutionary and man of letters.

Life

Son of

Jacobin Club
, in which he became an opponent of war.

In the spring of 1792, Jullien was sent to London by the

Girondists. Among those he met there were Talleyrand and Lord Stanhope. Returning to France that autumn, he was named aide-commissaire and then commissaire des guerres, of the army of the Pyrenees, in January 1793. He was soon transferred to Tarbes
"due to age". He rejoined the army of the Pyrenees on April 16, entering Paris with them on August 4.

Jullien then became a protégé of

Thérésa Cabarrús
. He left Bordeaux to return to Paris on April 24, 1794; there he was named to the Executive Committee on Public Instruction. On May 18, he returned to Bordeaux, to purify the municipality and the Jacobin Club and seek out secret Girondists among the deputies.

Jullien would likely have become a major player in the Revolution had it not been for the execution of Robespierre on

28 July 1794. Made destitute, he was arrested on August 10 and sent to prison; he would be held at the maison de santé of Notre-Dame-des-Champs, Paris, and would testify at Carrier's trial. He disavowed his association with Robespierre and was released, through the intervention of his father, on October 14, 1795. Ten days later, the insurrection of 13 Vendémiaire
was stopped.

Jullien next became one of the founders of the Club du Panthéon, returning to journalism with the creation of L'Orateur plébéien, a democratic and moderate pamphlet, with Ève Demaillot and Jean-Jacques Leuliette. On March 13, 1796, Merlin de Douai helped him enter the Ministère de la Police, where he became responsible for lists of emigrants. He soon became suspected of Babouvist sympathies, and was forced to hide after the discovery of the Conspiracy of Equals in May 1796; he reappeared in October of the same year.

Jullien next joined the

Coup of 30 Prairial Year VII
on June 18.

Accommodating the coup of

pedagogue Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi
.

In 1813. Jullien was jailed due to his opposition to the Empire. Freed during the Bourbon Restoration, he published numerous opposition journals between 1815 and 1817, becoming known in the process as a pedagogue. He corresponded regularly with Pestalozzi, to whom he sent his first three sons, at Yverdon, and became a promoter of the Monitorial System of education. In 1819 he founded Revue encyclopédique.[1]

He was elected to the American Philosophical Society in 1830.[2]

Jullien died in Paris in 1848, aged 73.

Marriage and family

In 1801 Jullien married Sophie-Juvence Nioche (died 1832); they had six children.

The eldest of the six, Pierre-Adolphe (born

Corps of Bridges and Roads; in this capacity he oversaw construction of the Paris-Lyon
railroad.

Also among the six, their daughter Antoinette-Stéphanie married the dramatist Lockroy and was the mother of Édouard Lockroy.
