A French man of letters; born at Pavilly, Jan. 1, 1778; died June 13, 1859. He studied with a notary, went to sea for a short time, then served in the army, but after 1800 devoted himself to literary pursuits, although for some years he held an inspectorship. He produced many works, the most important of which was "Confessions of J. S. Quesne" (1828), an intimate autobiography.
