After living some time in London , he went to Paris , where he started in 1800 an English library, and in 1808 a monthly publication, the ''Repertory of English Literature''. In 1814 he began to publish, in Paris, ''Galignani's Messenger'', a daily paper printed in English. At his death in 1821 the paper was carried on by his two sons, Jean-Antoine (1796-1873) and Guillaume (1798-1882). Under their management it enjoyed a high reputation. Its policy was to promote good feeling between England and France . The brothers established and endowed hospitals at Corbeil and at Neuilly-sur-Seine . In recognition of their generosity the city of Corbeil erected a monument in their honour. In 1884 the Galignani family disposed of their interest in ''Galignani's Messenger'', and from that date until 1904, when it was discontinued, the paper appeared under the title of the ''Daily Messenger''. |
