Topics of letters include personal, social, bibliographic, literary, publishing, and
financial matters. Manuscripts by Nodier document his bibliographic and literary work
and his botanical and entomological researches; also included are manuscripts by Nodier's
friend Charles Weiss, and manuscripts of a few poems by Nodier's daughter, Dame Marie
Antoinette Elisabeth Mennessier-Nodier. Includes journals kept by Weiss from 1804-1810,
1817-1846, and 1859-1862; a typewritten manuscript by Edmund Duban on biographical
materials about Weiss, and bound typewritten manuscripts of Duban's dissertations
on Nodier and on Weiss (Sorbonne, 1952); biographical material on Mme. Mennessier-Nodier,
compiled by Duban; and genealogical information on Nodier and Mme. Mennessier-Nodier.
Printed materials include a political pamphlet issued in self-defense by Nodier and
his associates Monnot, Baud, Weiss, and Desplaces in 1802, and the text of books and
articles by and about Nodier.
Correspondence includes many letters to Charles Weiss from Nodier, Xavier Marmier,
Pierre Lacroix, and Bruno Monnot, and letters from a variety of correspondents to
Justin Girod-Chantrans. Also included is official correspondence of the French police
about Nodier and his movements from 1808-1809. Other correspondents include Charles
