(Excerpt from Histoire de la Formation Territoriale des Ét...)
Excerpt from Histoire de la Formation Territoriale des États de l'Europe Centrale, Vol. 1 Le système territorial de l'europe contemporaine est le résultat complexe d'une longue série de révolutions qui, créant et détruisant tour a tour les États, modifiant sans cesse leur assiette et leurs limites, ont abouti à donner à notre continent sa configuration politique pré sente. Les traités de géographie usuelle indiquent l'état de choses actuel; pour l'expliquer, il faut remonter fort loin le cours des siècles et tenir compte d'une multitude presque infinie de faits, physiques, ethnographiques et historiques. La configuration naturelle des pays a dicté tout d'abord et n'a cessé de faire prévaloir certaines combinaisons fondamentales dans le développement des sociétés politiques personne ne met plus en doute aujour d'hui l'importance des questions de race et de nationalité relativement à la formation et a la durée des États; quant a ce qui est de l'influence de l'élément historique pro prement dit, elle est bien plus évidente encore les guerres et les traités, les mariages et les conquêtes, les intérêts dynastiques et les révolutions populaires, voilà les grands facteurs qui ont de tout temps fondé et agrandi.

Himly was born on March 28, 1823 in Strasbourg, France.
Himly studied in his native town and took the university course in Berlin (1842-1843).
Himly went to Paris and passed first in the examination for fellowship (agrégation) of the lycées (1845), first in the examinations on leaving the École des Chartes, and first in the examination for fellowship of the faculties (1849). In 1849 he took the degree of doctor of letters with two theses, one of which, Wala et Louis le Débonnaire (published in Paris in 1849), placed him in the front rank of French scholars in the province of Carolingian history. Soon, however, Himly turned his attention to the study of geography. In 1858 he obtained an appointment at the Sorbonne as a teacher of geography, henceforth devoting himself to that subject. It was not until 1876 that he published, in two volumes, his remarkable Histoire de la formation territoriale des États de l'Europe centrale, in which he showed with a firm, but sometimes slightly heavy touch, the reciprocal influence exerted by geography and history. While the work gives evidence throughout of wide and well-directed research, he preferred to write it in the form of a student's manual; but it was a manual so original that it gained him admission to the Institute in 1881. In that year he was appointed dean of the faculty of letters, and for ten years he directed the intellectual life of that great educational centre during its development into a great scientific body. He died at Sevres on the 6th of October 1906.
