This two-volume biography of the sixteenth-century French potter and natural scientist Bernard Palissy (c.1510–c.1590) was published in 1852. Palissy's ornamented wares, encrusted with sea creatures, were very popular, but, as a convinced Protestant, he died in the Bastille after the death of his patron, Catherine de' Medici.
