Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
Pierre Benjamin Lafaye (1808-1867), a distinguished philologist, was appointed professor of philosophy at the Royal College of Marseilles in 1837 and, in 1849, was transferred to Aix. In 1858, he published his Dictionnaire des synonymes de la langue française, the finest work of this class that exists in any language.—T.
