Victorian Sardou was a man possessed of singular charm, and- was greatly beloved, and there is universal regret that he left no memoirs.

He was born in Paris September 7, 183.1, the son of Leandro Sardou, an educationalist and the compiler of several publications. At first he studied medicine, but was obliged, in consequence of the embarrassments of his family, to give private lessons in history, philosophy and mathematics.

The typewritten sheets then were photographed and from the photographs printing plates were made at the same as a photograph is engraved for purpose of printing. The engravings of the typewritten sheets were then placed together in consecutive order and from these the papers were printed.
