Carrel, Jean Baptiste Nicolas Armand

From Philosopedia

Carrel, Jean Baptiste Nicolas Armand (1800—1836) Carrel was called by Saint Beueve “the Junius of the French press.” Secretary to Thierry, he edited the works of P. I. Courier and established The Nation in conjunction with Thiers and Mignet. Carrel was known as the leading journalist of his time, and John Stuart Mill praised his work. Several of his journalistic articles led to duels and, in an encounter with Émile de Girardin, Carrel was fatally wounded. On his deathbed, he said, “Point de prêtes, point d’église. (No priests nor church).” {BDF; RAT}
