[150] Augustin Eugene Scribe (1791-1861), French dramatist, for fifty years the best exponent of the ideas of the French middle class.

[151] Charles Louis Napoleon Bonaparte (Napoleon III), 1808-73, son of Louis Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon I, by the coup d’etat of December, 1851, became Emperor of France.  This was accomplished against the resistance of the Moderate Republicans, partly through the favor of his democratic theories with the mass of the French people.  Heine was mistaken, however, in believing that the rule of Louis Napoleon had prepared the way for Communism.  An attempt to bring about a Communistic revolution was easily crushed in 1871.

[152] J.J. von Goerres (1776-1848), Klemens Brentano (1778-1842), and Ludwig Achim von Arnim (1781-1831) were the leaders of the second German Romantic school and constitute the Heidelberg group of writers.  They were much interested in the German past, and strengthened the national and patriotic spirit.  Their work, however, is often marred by exaggeration and affectation.
