Nicolas Chamfort - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | After college, Chamfort told the principal of his college, who promised him a benefice, that he would never be one because as he preferred honour to honours, j'aime l'honneur et non les honneurs. |
 | | The lady, attached to the household of the duchesse du Maine, was forty-eight years old, but clever, amusing, a woman of the world; and Chamfort married her. |
 | | Chamfort lived in Holland for a time with M. de Narbonne, and returning to Paris received in 1781 the place at the Academy left vacant by the death of La Curne de Sainte-Palaye, the author of the Dictionnaire des antiquités françaises. |
