Author, Horace Viel-Castel was the curator of the Louvre, for many years.

"This is the third part of a study on the mores of the Faubourg Saint-Germain, the first two parts of which Gérard de Stolberg and La Comtesse were published in 1837 and 1836. We owe Count Horace de Viel Castel (1798-1864) ), nephew of Mirabeau and curator of the Louvre, "a large number of novels written in the style of Balzac" Carteret."
