John Lemoinne
John-Marguerite-Émile Lemoinne (born October 17, 1815 in London , † December 13, 1892 in Paris ) was a French publicist .
Lemoinne (spr. Lömoann), son of French parents, entered the Journal des Débats in 1840, first as an English correspondent, and subsequently became its most valued political editor.
The caustic sharpness of his pen is just as proverbial in the Parisian daily press as the suppleness of his political character, which has gone through all the many transformations of the governing body of the French bourgeoisie , which he also presides, with playful ease.
In 1876 he was appointed to Jules Janin's place as a member of the Académie française , and in 1880 as a senator for life. Some of his articles, some of a political and historical content, some of a biographical nature, appeared collectively under the title Études critiques et biographiques (1852) and Nouvelles études (1862).
