Auguste François Louis Scipion de Grimoard Beauvoir Du Roure

Born in Paris on August 10, 1783, Auguste-François-Louis-Scipion de Grimoard de Beauvoir du Roure de Beaumont was a French aristocrat who also pursued a military and political career. French biographical sources describe him as a deputy from 1846 to 1848 and note that he rose to the rank of maréchal de camp.

For readers today, his best-known literary connection is Analectabiblion, published in the 1830s. The work gathers critical extracts and notes on rare, forgotten, or little-known books, which gives it the feel of a book lover’s cabinet opened to the public.

The available sources found here focus much more on his public career and bibliography than on his private life or personality. I also could not confirm a suitable verified portrait image from the pages retrieved, so no profile image is included.
