Died November 25, 1763. Chantilly. French novelist. Commonly known as the Abbé Prévost. He studied at a Jesuit school and became a priest, but served in the military for a time. After publishing the first volume of his semi-autobiographical novel Memoirs and Adventures of a Reclusive Nobleman (7 volumes, 1728-31), he escaped from the convent and wandered through England and the Netherlands, returning to France in 1734. The final volume of the novel, Histoire du chevalier des Grieux et de Manon Lescaut (31), is a representative 18th century love story. In addition to the novel Cleveland (31-39), he also published a literary newspaper Pour et contre (33-40) aimed at introducing Britain to the world, and translated works by S. Richardson.

Died March 14, 1850. Geneva. Swiss biologist. Studied medicine in Paris and obtained his doctorate from the University of Edinburgh in 1818. He began his research in Geneva (1820). He is famous for his research on fertilization. Together with J. Dumas, he observed the testes of various animals and clarified that the testes of mature males contain sperm, while those of immature males do not. In 1824, he also demonstrated that when semen is filtered, the more sperm there are in the residue, the lower the fertilizing ability of the filtrate. These proved that the sperm in semen are the factor that initiates the development of an egg.
