A French poet and dramatist; born in Limoux, Dec. 25, 1788; died at Paris, Feb. 24, 1847. He gave up the management of large inherited business interests and took up literary pursuits in Paris, writing poems, plays, and miscellaneous prose. "The Maccabees", a tragedy, was his first unqualified success. His ode addressed to the Greeks had attracted some notice; and he now brought out a volume of "Songs of a Savoyard", which attained great popularity, especially "The Little Savoyard". He wrote several other dramas, and a romance or two.
