| SHOPPER'S DELIGHT | |
|
He began his career as a bibliographer by collaborating in new editions of the ''Supercheries littéraires'' of Joseph Quérard and the ''Dictionnaire des anonymes'' of Antoine Barbier . His most important bibliographical work was the ''Bibliographie de l’histoire de Paris pendant la revolution française'' (3 vols. 1890-1901), which was crowned by the Academy of Inscriptions. This valuable work serves as a guide for the history of the city beyond the limits of the Revolution . His other works include bibliographies of Prosper Mérimée (1876), of Théophile Gautier (1876), of the brothers De Goncourt (1897) and others; also editons of FM Grimm 's ''Correspondance littéraire'', of Diderot 's ''Neveu de Rameau'' (1884), of Montesquieu 's ''Lettres persanes'' ('' Persian Letters '', 1886), etc. REFERENCES |
