French litterateur, painter, and poet, who embraced Christianity; born in Paris in 1811; died about 1898. He was a brother of Alphonse Alkan; but the reason for the difference in the orthography of the family name has never been explained. Alcan was the author of the following works: (1) "La Légende des Âmes: Souvenirs de Quelques Conférences de Saint Vincent de Paul" (1879); (2) "La Flore Printanière: Souvenirs du Berceau et de la Première Enfance" (1882); (3) "La Flore du Calvaire: Traits Caractéristiques de Quelques Voies Douloureuses" (1884); (4) "Les Cannibales et Leur Temps: Souvenir de la Campagne de l'Océanie sous le Commandant Marceau, Capitaine de Frégate" (1887); (5) "Les Grands Dévouements et l'Impôt du Sang" (1890); and (6) "Récits Instructifs du Père Balthazar" (1892).
