LOUIS See also:CLAUDE See also:FREDERIC (1847– ) , See also:French historian, was See also:born at See also:Paris on the 8th of See also:March 1847. His See also:father, See also:Francis Masson, a See also:solicitor, was killed on the 23rd of See also:June 1848, when See also:major in the garde nationale. See also:Young Masson was educated at the See also:college of Sainte Barbe, and at the lycee Louis-le-See also:Grand, and then travelled in See also:Germany and in See also:England; from 1869 to 188o he was librarian at the See also:Foreign See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")

But he is best known for his books connected with See also:Napoleon. In Napoleon inconnu (1895), Masson, together with M.
