VAPEREAU, LOUIS GUSTAVE (18191906)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 897 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VAPEREAU, LOUIS GUSTAVE (18191906) , French man
of letters and lexicographer, was born at Orleans on the 4th of April 1819. Educated at the Ecole Normale he became a teacher of philosophy, and was entrusted by
Victor
 
Cousin
  with the preparation of his studies on the Pensees of Pascal. Under the empire his republican principles cost him his position, and Vapereau studied for the bar. He practised, however, little or not at all, and after 187o he was appointed prefect of Cantal (187o) and of
Tarn
  et
Garonne
  (187173). From 1877 to 1888 he was inspector-general of public instruction. He was the author of some excellent editions of the classics, and of works on political and social questions, but he is famous for his valuable Dictionnaire universel des contemporains (1858; 6th ed., 1893), brought up to date in 1895 by a supplementary volume. He also drew up a Dictionnaire universel des litterateurs (1876). At the time of his death at Norsang-sur-Orge in 1906, he had been for twenty-six years a
regular
  contributor to L'
Illustration
 , some of his notes written for this
journal
  being
collected in 1896 as L'Homme et la vie.
