A French historian and biographical writer; born in Rouen, July 9, 1797; died in Formentin, Aug. 6, 1881. He made Normandy's annals and personages the objects of his painstaking study in "Norman Anecdotes"; "History of the Parliament of Normandy" (1840-43); "Studies in the Life of Bossuet" (1855); of which the last two were crowned by the Academy. Subsequent volumes show the rich harvest the field has yielded him.
