| - Claude Victor André Marcel Knight, Leg Hon (1793-17 January 1876) was a French diplomat and language teacher who served in Cork as an official representative of the French government between 1816 and c. 1864 and was additionally a teacher of French and the author of a two-volume study of language education published in London in 1853 under the title Language as a Means of Mental Culture and International Communication; or, Manual of the Teacher and the Learner of Languages. He has been seen as pioneer of applied linguistics. Claude Victor André Marcel was born and educated in Paris, France. In the Napoleonic Wars he served in the army of Napoléon I and was wounded. In 1816, soon after the end of the war he took up an honorary post as Chancellor in the French Consulate in Cork in Ireland, then part of the United Kingdom. He was to remain there until he retired to France in at least the late 1860s, except for a short interruption caused by the French Revolution of 1830. Aside from his diplomatic duties he became a successful teacher of English, attracting local dignitaries including two bishops to his lessons. Marcel published his first work, Practical Method of Teaching the Living Languages, Applied to the French, in which Several Defects of the Old Method are Pointed Out and Remedied in London in 1820 under the name 'C.V.A. Marcel'. In 1833 he self-published Méthode Marcellienne, ou methode naturelle théorisée in London for limited distribution, under the name 'M. Annibal Marcel'. In 1853 his major work, the Language as a Means of Mental Culture and International Communication was also published in London, privately and for limited distribution. The government of Napoleon III made Marcel a knight of the Légion d'honneur as well as elevating his mission in Cork to a full consulate and rewarding him with an increased salary and a bonus. After his retirement in the late 1850s Marcel issued a number of publications, often re-presenting the ideas of Language as a Means of Mental Culture and International Communication. In the 1870s he published learning materials including English grammar tables and various readers. At the time of his death he appears to have been working on a comparative grammar of French and English. (en)
