Barthélemy Saint-Hilaire, philosopher, statesman, journalist, and essayist, supported Thiers for the presidency of the Third Republic in 1871, after the fall of Louis Napoleon's empire in the Franco-Prussian War. Barthélemy Saint-Hilaire was appointed Thiers' unpaid secretary while Thiers headed the new government. Thiers, the 'third of a shadow', was a physically short person.
