Who is Eugène Alcan?

Eugène Alcan was a French Jewish litterateur, painter, and poet, who embraced Christianity; born in Paris in 1811; died about 1898. He was a brother of Alphonse Alkan; but the reason for the difference in the orthography of the family name has never been explained. Alcan was the author of the following works: La Légende des Âmes: Souvenirs de Quelques Conférences de Saint Vincent de Paul; La Flore Printanière: Souvenirs du Berceau et de la Première Enfance; La Flore du Calvaire: Traits Caractéristiques de Quelques Voies Douloureuses; Les Cannibales et Leur Temps: Souvenir de la Campagne de l'Océanie sous le Commandant Marceau, Capitaine de Frégate; Les Grands Dévouements et l'Impôt du Sang; and Récits Instructifs du Père Balthazar.
