Dumarsais was born in Marseille on the 17th of July 1676.
César was educated in his native town by the Fathers of the Oratory, into whose congregation he entered.
At the age of twenty-five César went to Paris, where he was admitted an advocate (1704). He was tutor to the sons successively of the président de Maisons, of John Law, the projector, and of the marquis de Bauffremont.
He then opened a boarding school in the faubourg St Victor, which scarcely afforded him the means of subsistence. He made contributions of great value on philological and philosophical subjects to the Encyclopédie, and after vain attempts to secure a competence from the court he was insured against want by the generosity of a private patron. He died in Paris, 1756.
His work "Traité des Tropes" (1730) was an influential early attempt to generate a philosophical theory of figurative language. A seven-volume French edition of his complete known works was published in 1797.
The researches of Du Marsais were distinguished by considerable individuality. He held sensible views on education and elaborated a system of teaching Latin, which, although open to grave criticism, was a useful protest against current methods of teaching. His best works were "Méthode raisonné pour apprendre la langue latine" (1722) and "Principes de grammaire" (1769).
