FAIN, AGATHON JEAN FRANCOIS (17781837) , French historian, was born in Paris on the 11th of January 17 78. Having gained admittance to the offices of the
Directory
 , he became head of a department. Under the Consulate he entered the office of the secretary of state, in the department of the archives. In 18o6 he was appointed secretary and archivist to the cabinet particulier of the emperor, whom he attended on his
campaigns
  and journeys. He was created a baron of the
empire
  in 1809, and, on the fall of
Napoleon
 , was first secretary of the cabinet and confidential secretary. Compelled by the second Restoration to retire into private
life
 , he devoted his leisure to writing the history of his times, an occupation for which his previous employments well fitted him. He published successively Manuscrit de 2814, contenant l'histoire des six derniers mois du regne de
Napoleon
  (1823; new edition with illustrations, 1906); Manuscrit de 1813, contenant le precis des evenements de cette annee pour servir d l'histoire de l'empereur Napoleon (1824); Manuscrit de 1812 (1827); and Manuscrit de l'an iii. (1794-1795), contenant les premieres transactions de l'Europe avec la republique francaise et le tableau des derniers evenements du regime conventionnel (1828), all of which are remarkable for accuracy and wide range of knowledge, and are a very valuable source for the history of
Napoleon I. Of still greater importance for the history of Napoleon are Fain's Mefmoires, which were published posthumously in 1908; they relate more particularly to the last five years of the
empire
 , and give a detailed picture of the emperor at
work
  on his correspondence among his confidential secretaries. Immediately after the overthrow of Charles X., King Louis Philippe appointed Fain first secretary of his cabinet (August :830). Fain was a member of the council of state and
deputy
  from Montargis from 1834 until his death, which occurred in Paris on the 16th of September 1837.
