Abstract

Cauchy was not unhappy about the Revolution of February 1848. The fall of Charles X in July 1830 had left him dejected, but that of Louis-Philippe revived his hopes. Would not his former student, the Duc de Bordeaux, now Comte de Chambord, and for the legitimist party, Henri V, soon take his place on the throne that had been vacated by the Orleans? That hope was quickly dashed. However, Cauchy had other reasons, more personal ones, for being happy about the change in government. His scientific career would now be free and unfettered; it was no longer necessary that he take a loyalty oath, because it had been eliminated by the provisionary government of the Republic during its first days in power.
