Étienne Lamy
Étienne Marie Victor Lamy was a French author. He was educated at the College Stanislas and became a doctor of law in 1870. From 1871 to 1881 he was a deputy from his native department, Jura, and his earlier writings were political and historical. In the House of Deputies he was a member of the Left, but he broke with his party and became a clerical reactionary, writing for the Gaulois and the Correspondant. In 1905 he became a member of the Académie française, and in 1913 he succeeded Thureau-Dangin as its perpetual secretary. Among Lamy's works are:
- Le tiers parti
- L'Armée et la democratie
- La France du Levant
- Etudes sur le second empire
- La femme de demain
- an edition of the memoirs of Aimée de Coigny
- Témoins de jours passés
