"Citateur par Pigault." Le Brun Doubts of Infidels: Embodying Thirty Important Questions to the Clergy. Also Forty Close Questions to the Doctors of Divinity. Charles-Antoine-Guillaume Pigault-Lebrun Pigault de l'Espinoy was a French novelist and playwright. He was born at Calais; he is said to have traced his pedigree on the mother's side to Eustache de St Pierre. His youth was stormy. He twice carried off young ladies of some position and was in consequence twice imprisoned by lettre de cachet. The first a Miss Crawford the daughter of an English merchant whose office Pigault had entered died almost immediately after her elopement; the second Mlle de Salens he married. He became a soldier in the Queen's Guards then a very unsuccessful actor and a teacher of French. At the breaking out of the great war he re-enlisted and fought at Valmy. He wrote more than twenty plays and a large number of novels the first of which appeared in 1787. In his old age he took to graver work and executed an abridgement of French history in eight volumes besides some other work. His "Oeuvres completes" were published in twenty volumes between 1822 and 1824 but much of his work is subsequent to this collection. The style of Pigault's novels is insignificant and their morality very far from severe. As almost the father of a kind of literature which later developed enormously Pigault-Lebrun deserves a certain place in literary history. Among the most celebrated of his novels may be mentioned "L'Enfant du Carnaval" 1792 and "Angelique et Jeanneton de la place Maubert" 1799. His "Citateur" 2 vols. 1803 a collection of quotations against Christianity was forbidden and yet several times reprinted. BANNED BOOK. Width: 5.25" Height: 7.75".
