La Harpe, Frederic Cesar de

0.03 sec.

Born Apr. 6, 1754, in Rolle, canton of Vaud; died Mar. 30, 1838, in Lausanne. Swiss political figure; lawyer.

In the 1780’s, La Harpe was invited to Russia by Catherine II as tutor for her grandson, the future Alexander I. La Harpe’s liberalism and his defense of the canton of Vaud (where revolutionary manifestations had emerged under the influence of the Great French Revolution) against the encroachments of the government of the canton of Bern led to his dismissal from the post of tutor in 1795. From 1798 to 1800 he and P. Ochs headed the Directory of the Helvetic Republic. During the Congress of Vienna of 1814–15, he strove, with the aid of Alexander I, to reestablish the Swiss Confederation and maintain the independence of Vaud and Aargau from Bern.
