Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HEG-HIG
HERVEY DE SAINT DENYS, MARIE JEAN LEON, MARQUIS D' (18231892),
French
  Orientalist and man of letters, was born in Paris in 1823. He devoted himself to the study of Chinese, and in 1851 published his Recherches sur l'
agriculture
  et l'horticulture des Chinois, in which he dealt with the
plants
  and animals that might be acclimatized in the West. At the Paris Exhibition of 1867 he acted as
commissioner
  for the Chinese exhibits; in 1874 he succeeded Stanislas Julien in the chair of Chinese at the College de
France
 ; and in 1878 he was elected a member of the Academie des
Inscriptions
  et de Belles-Lettres. His works include Poesies de l'spoque des T'ang (1862), translated from the Chinese; Ethnographie des peuples strangers d la Chine, translated from Ma-Touan-Lin (18761883); Li-Sao (187o), from the Chinese; Memoires sur les doctrines religieuse; de Confucius et de l'ecole des lettres (1887); and translations of some Chinese stories not of classical
interest
  but valuable for the light they throw on oriental custom. Hervey de Saint Denys also translated some works from the Spanish, and wrote a history of the Spanish drama. He died in Paris on the 2nd of November 1892.
