Excerpt from The Life of Bernard Palissy, of Saintes For the birth of Bernard Palissy I can assign no more precise date than the year 1509, with a concession that this may be wrong within a limit of four years on either side. The date chosen by M. Cap, his latest editor, is 1510. Of the birthplace of Bernard Palissy we only know that it was somewhere in the diocese of Agen. M. Cap, who is followed by succeeding writers, does, indeed, undertake to be particular. He tells us that Palissy was born at Chapelle Biron, a poor hamlet near the small town of Biron, in Perigord. The town of Biron lies so near the southern boundary of Perigord, upon the little river Lade, that to descend the Lade only so far as to Chapelle Biron is to cross from Perigord into the Agenois. Chapelle Biron is placed about three quarters of a mile over the border; but although politically situated in the diocese of Agen, it belongs, by virtue of its scenery, to Perigord. Perigord is a province in part hilly and mountainous, in part made up of barren plains. In the days of Palissy it abounded more than it now does in forest tracts, containing many walnut-trees, and chesnuts in such great abundance that they formed the staple food of the poor natives. These chesnuts also aided in the fattening of herds of pigs, whose noses were at all times prompt to perceive where truffles were concealed under the light soil within the forest.

Excerpt from Palissy the Potter: The Life of Bernard Palissy, of Saintes Who shall hope now to teach the people, when the sole writer from the ranks of the peasants who spoke to them in their language of their life, of their labours, of their interests, from pure experience alone, is, not known to them even by name after three centuries lwho will be worthy, who will be capable of instructing the people, when this man, whose entire life was a constant initiation, who, seeking an Art by which to subsist, raised himself, step by step, to the creation of several modern Sciences, has received no attention either fi'om the wise or from the simple?

This two-volume biography of the sixteenth-century French potter and natural scientist Bernard Palissy (c.1510-c.1590) was published in 1852, the year after the Great Exhibition, in which Palissy's extraordinary art had been brought before the Victorian public by Minton's highly decorated 'Palissy wares'. Henry Morley (1822-94) trained in medicine but later became an author and editor, writing for Charles Dickens among others. Here he gathers together all the material then available about Palissy, including the potter's own writings and a contemporary biography. Palissy was among the many European ceramicists who attempted to reproduce Chinese porcelain; his lack of success drove his family into poverty, but his highly ornamented wares, encrusted with sea creatures, came to the attention of Catherine de' Medici, who gave him her patronage and protection (he was a convinced Protestant). After her death he was sent to the Bastille, and died there.
