About the author
Born in Paris on August 15, 1822, Charles-Alfred de Janzé was a French baron, politician, and writer. French reference sources identify him as a deputy for the Côtes-du-Nord and note that he was active in agronomy and political economy as well as public life.
Library records show that he published on a wide mix of subjects, including finance, social questions, and history. Modern catalog listings especially connect his name with works such as Les Huguenots and other studies that reflect his interest in both practical reform and the French past.
He died in Paris on April 26, 1892. Even in a brief sketch, what stands out is his range: he moved between politics, agriculture, economics, and authorship in a way that feels very characteristic of an engaged 19th-century man of letters.
