ANDRIEUX, FRANÇOIS GUILLAUME

Celebrated especially as a lecturer on belles-lettres. His writings comprise a number of plays, the best known of which, Les Etourdis^ was brought eut as far back as 1788; and some delightful taies, from which the following is selected. Andrieux took a part in the politics of the day, but the noble independence of his character brought upon him the displeasure of Napoléon, and he was expelled from the Tribunate in 1S02.
