A Belgian poet, novelist, and essayist; born Aug. 17, 1823, in Brussels, where he is a high educational official. His early reputation was through poems, stories, and essays in Belgian papers; his later fame is European. "Fiamma Colonna" and "Tales of a Flemish Subject" are his best fictions. His translations and literary papers in the Belgian Review, etc., make him a representative man of letters at home.
