  1. This could refer to a book published in February 1914 by Clément de Maugny's father, Comte Charles-Albert de Maugny (1839-1918): Cinquante ans de souvenirs (Fifty Years of Recollections), 1859-1909, Paris, Plon, 1914. A former army officer, member of the Jockey Club, political chronicler, he had written for the principal Paris newspapers (Le Gaulois, Le Figaro, Paris-Journal, La Patrie, Le Soir) and had been the political editor of L'Illustration, La Vie parisienne and Le Journal. His recollections of Paris life inevitably featured people that Proust and Clément de Maugny would have known. [FL]
