LACROIX, PAUL (18061884)

This article appears in Volume V16, Page 54 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KRO-LAP
LACROIX, PAUL (18061884) , French author and journalist, was born in Paris on the 27th of April 18o6, the son of a novelist. He is best known under his pseudonym of P. L. Jacob, bibliophile, or " Bibliophile Jacob," suggested by the constant
interest
  he took in public libraries and books generally. Lacroix was an extremely prolific and varied writer. Over twenty historical romances alone came from his pen, and he also wrote a variety of serious historical works, including a history of
Napoleon
  III., and the
life
  and times of the Tsar Nicholas I. of
Russia
 . He was the
joint
  author with Ferdinand Sere of a five-volume
work
 , Le Moyen Age et La Renaissance (1847), a standard
work
  on the manners, customs and dress of those times, the
chief
  merit of which lies in the
great
  number of illustrations it contains. He also wrote many monographs on phases of the history of culture. Over the signature Pierre Dufour was published an exhaustive Histoire de la Prostitution (18511852), which has always been attributed to Lacroix. His works on bibliography were also extremely numerous. In 1885 he was appointed librarian of the Arsenal Library, Paris. He died in Paris on the 16th of October 1884.
