Michel Théodore Leclercq (1777–1851)

Leclercq, Michel Théodore (lė-klerk’). A French dramatic poet; born at Paris, April 1, 1777; died there, Feb. 15, 1851. He wrote after the manner of Carmontel a series of ‘Dramatic Proverbs,’ little pieces for the drawing-room, which, by their pointed, witty dialogue, their fine character-drawing, and their elegant style, won universal favor. The latest edition was in six volumes (1828), and comprised about 80 pieces.
