Alexander Teixeira de Mattos translation
Pierre Marin Victor Richard de Laprade (1812-1885) had published Parfums de Madeleine (1839), the Colère de Jésus (1840), Psyché, (1841) and Odes et poèmes (1844) before the date of Chateaubriand's death. None of his poems were of great value; but he was elected to the French Academy in 1858. He sat as a silent member (of the Right) of the National Assembly from 1871 to 1873.—T.
