French politician
Etienne Joseph Louis Garnier-Pages
(December 27, 1801 – June 23, 1841) was a French politician, born at
Marseille
.
Soon after his birth his father Jean Francois Garnier, a
naval surgeon
, died, and his mother married Simon Pages, a college professor, by whom she had a son. The boys were brought up together, and took the double name Garnier-Pages.
Etienne found employment first in a commercial house in Marseille, and then in an insurance office in Paris. In 1825 he began to study law, and made some mark as an advocate. A keen opponent of the
Restoration
, he joined various democratic societies, notably the
Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera
, an organization for purifying the elections.
He took part in the
revolution of July
1830; became secretary of the
Aide-toi, le ciel t'aidera
, whose propaganda he brought into line with his anti-monarchical ideas; and in 1831 was sent from
Isere
to the chamber of deputies. He was concerned in the preparation of the Compte rendu of 1832, and advocated
universal suffrage
. He was an eloquent speaker, and his sound knowledge of business and finance gave him a marked influence among all parties in the chamber.
His half-brother,
Louis-Antoine Garnier-Pages
(1803 – October 31, 1878), fought on the barricades during the
revolution of July
.
