JACQUES CLAUDE DEMOGEOT (1808-1894), French man of letters, was born in Paris on the 5th of July 1808. He was professor of rhetoric at the lycee Saint Louis, and subsequently assistant professor at the Sorbonne.

He was also the author of a Tableau de la littdrature francaise au X VII e siecle (1859), and of a work (3 vols., 1880-1883) on the influence of foreign literatures on the development of French literature.
