Hippolyte Philibert Passy (15 October 1793 – 1 June 1880)[1] was a French cavalry officer, economist and politician.

Early life

Passy was born into a aristocratic Catholic family.[2]: 41  His father, Louis François Passy,[3]: 5  was recevuer general des finances (Receiver General of Finance), an important office in the Ancien Régime.[4]: 222  His mother was Jaquette Pauline Hélène d’Aure.[5] Her brother, the Count d'Aure, was a riding master who fought for France in Egypt and Saint-Domingue.[2]: 35 

One of his brothers, Justin Félix, was a soldier and the father of Nobel Peace Prize winner Frédéric Passy.[2]: 35  Another brother, Antoine François, was a botanist and geologist.[6]: 10 

Military career

In 1809, Passy joined the Cavalry School in Saumur.[7] He joined the French military in 1812,[7] and took part in Napoleon's Russian campaign.[2]: 35  After leaving the military, Passy was a journalist until 1830.[7]

Political career

In October 1830, he was elected Deputy for Louviers.[7][1] After joining the Moderate Liberals, he served as reporter on the 1831 and 1835 Budgets.[7]

Passy held various ministerial positions in the July Monarchy and the French Second Republic.[2]: 35  He served as Minister of Finance on several occasions:

  • 10 November 1834 – 18 November 1834[8]: 113 
  • 2 August 1836 – 6 September 1836 (acting)[8]: 113 
  • 12 May 1839 – 29 February 1840[8]: 114 

From 1835 to 1839, he was Vice-President of the Chamber.[7] During this time, he also served as Minister of Commerce from 22 February 1836 until 5 September 1836.[8]: 131  From 16 April 1839 until 12 May 1839, he was President of the Chamber of Deputies.[1]

In 1843, Passy joined the Chamber of Peers.[9] He became Minister of Finance again during the 1849 Presidency of Napoleon III, and retired from politics after the 1851 coup d'état.[7]

In 1878, he was president of the International Congress on Provident Societies, a group dedicated to discussing economics and finance.[10]

Personal life

Passy married Claire Fourmont-Tournay, the daughter of Gisors's mayor, Eustache Fourmont-Tournay.[11]: 255  They had a son, Edgar, who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as an embassy secretary.[12] He was a member of the Société de l'histoire de France, nominated by Jules Desnoyers and his uncle Antoine.[12]

Both Passy and his brother Antoine were lifelong friends of Hortense Allart, the Italian-French writer.[6]: 10  They met while visiting Regnaud de Saint-Jean d'Angély's widow near Paris.[6]: 241  The brothers were helpful in helping Allart's husband become a local government architect.[6]: 179
