(b. Paris, Nov. 7, 1801 ; d. there, Dec. 23, 1875)-not to be confounded with the notorious Chevalier de Saint-Georges (b. 1739; d. 1799)-writer of novels, and author of numerous librettos for operas and operascomiques, was the favourite collaborator of Halevy. Among his 120 librettos we need only specify those for Donizetti's ' Fille du regiment ' ; Adolphe Adam's ' La Marquise,' ' Cagliostro,' ' Le Bijou perdu,' operas ; and ' Giselle,' ' La Jolie Fille de Gand ' and ' Le Corsaire,' ballets ; Auber's ' L'Ambassadrice,' ' Zanetta ' and ' Les Diamants de la couronne,' with Scribe ; Grisar's ' Lady Melvil,' ' Le Carillonneur de Bruges ' and ' Les Amours du diable ' ; Clapisson's ' La Fanchonnette ' ; and Halevy's ' L 'ficlair,' * Les Mousquetaires de la reine,' ' Le Val d'Andorre,' ' La Fee aux roses,' ' Le Juif errant,' ' Le Nabab ' and ' Jaguarita l'lndienne.' From this list it will appear th a t Saint- Georges was the most prolific, as he was the ablest, of all French contemporary librettists after Scribe. g . c.
