Abstract:
In his moving obituary for Saint-Georges, printed in Le Courier des Spectacles in June 1799, J. S. A. Cuvelier, an old friend of this remarkable man, observed that deared him to those who sought his company; obliging, generous, witty, gallant and sensitive, his loss is lamented equally by the fair sex, enthralled by his gifts, and by his friends who readily forgave the slight aberrations of his head, in favour of the precious qualities of his heart.
