et moderne_ (1853; new edition revised by Adrien Planchet), and a
large number of monographs and articles in the technical reviews. The
following may be specially mentioned: _Numismatique merovingienne_ (1865);
_Essai sur la monnaie parisis_ (1874); _Note sur l'origine de la monnaie
tournoise_ (1896); and in the series of instructions issued by the _Comite
des travaux historiques et scientifiques_ he edited the number on _La
Numismatique de la France_ (1891). In 1897 he was elected a member of the
Academie des Inscriptions et Belles-lettres.

His younger brother, EDOUARD MARIE, comte de Barthelemy, who was born in
Angers in 1830, has published a number of documents upon the ancient French
nobility and upon the history of Champagne.

BARTHELEMY, AUGUSTE MARSEILLE (1796-1867), French satirical poet, was born
at Marseilles in 1796. His name can hardly be separated from that of his
friend and compatriot, J. P. A. Mery (1798-1866), with whom he carried on
so intimate a collaboration that it is not possible to distinguish their
personalities in their joint works. After having established some local
reputation as a poet, Barthelemy went to Paris, where by one of his first
efforts, _Le Sacre de Charles X_ (1825) he gained the favour of the court.
His energies, however, were soon enlisted in the service of the opposition
party. In 1825 appeared a clever political satire, _Les Sidiennes_,
followed by _La Villeliade ou la prise du chateau de Rivoli_ (1827), _La
Corbiereide_ (1827), _La Peyronneide_ (1827), the joint productions of
Barthelemy and Mery. The success was immediate and pronounced; fifteen
editions of the _Villeliade_ were called for during the year. A rapid
succession of political squibs and satires was now poured forth by the
authors, among the most remarkable being _Biographie des quarante de
l'academie francaise_ (1826) and _Napoleon en Egypte_ (1828), which passed
through nearly a dozen editions in a year. In 1829 Barthelemy was
imprisoned and fined 1000 francs for the publication of their _Fils de
l'homme_, a poem on the duke of Reichstadt, Napoleon's son. The Revolution
of 1830 liberated him; and in company with Mery, he celebrated the triumph
of the people in one of their most brilliant efforts, _L'Insurrection_.
From March 1831 to April 1832 they produced a series of verse satires
issued weekly, the _Nemesis_, attacking the government and ministers of
Louis Philippe. The small pension of which Barthelemy was th
