A French novelist of Spanish origin; born in Saintes, Oct. 25, 1815; died at Paris, Oct. 15, 1887. On very little capital and no encouragement he founded the Revue de France, and established his fame as a writer of fiction in its columns. Emile de Girardin engaged him for the Presse, where he made the hit of a season. "An Angel's Memoirs", "Buckingham's Seven Kisses", "The Russian Princess", and "The Gold Seekers", are among the romances in which he most happily shows his genius for narration, vivid style, and fertility of expedient.
