Pathologie Verbale, ou Lésions de certains mots dans le cours de l'usage

Emile Littré

1801–1881

Best known for creating one of the great dictionaries of the French language, this 19th-century scholar brought together medicine, history, philosophy, and language in a remarkably wide-ranging career. He was also a major French interpreter of Auguste Comte and a public intellectual whose work helped shape modern secular thought in France.
