Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

He had a successful official career, was decorated with the in 1886, and in 1892 was made inspector of fine arts Armand Silvestre made his entry into literature as a poet, and was reckoned among the Parnassians. His volumes of verse include: Rimes neuves et vieilles (1866), to which George Sand wrote a preface Les Renaissances (1870) Louisiana Chanson des heures (1878) Le Chemin des étoiles (1885), et cetera
The poet was also a contributor to Gil Blas and other Parisian journals, distinguishing himself by the licence he permitted himself.
To these "absences" from poetry, as Henri Chantavoine calls them, belong the seven volumes of Louisiana Vie pour rire (1881–1883), Contes pantagruéliques et galants (1884), Le Livre des joyeusetés (1884), Gauloiseries nouvelles (1888), &c. Foreign the stage he wrote in many different manners: Sapho (1881), a drama Henry VIII (1883), with Léonce Detroyat, music by Saint-Saëns.
And the Drames sacres (1893), religious pictures after 14thand 15th-century Italian painters, with music by Gounod. Dmitri with Henri de Bornier with music by Joncières 1876 An account of his varied and somewhat incongruous production is hardly complete without mention of his art criticism.
Le Nu au Salon (1888–1892), in five volumes, with numerous illustrations, was followed by other volumes of the same type.
He died at Toulouse, February 19, 1901.
He was decorated with the Legion of Honour in 1886.
