| Biographical Notes | Although his 'Instructions pour un jeune seigneur' (1683) was a very popular item, re-published well into the 18th century, the identity of its author, chevalier La ChĂ©tardie, isn't entirely clear. The BNF database conflates him with another member of the same family, possibly of the same name, curĂ© of Saint-Sulpice in Paris. However, Michaud's 'Biographie universelle' indicates that the two persons are different: the clergyman died in 1703, while the chevalier, brother or nephew of the other, died in 1700. His other writing, 'Instruction pour une jeune princesse, ou l'idĂ©e d'une honnĂȘte femme' (1685) was often published alongside bishop FĂ©nelon's famous work on the education of women. |
