Heger
historiography
Abbé Richardson,
'Extracts from a lecture thitherto unpublished,' in Wroot's Persons and places,
pp. 175-7.
Reminiscences of
M. and Mme. Heger. "There was a legend, still repeated, that, when a
professor at the Athénée, he kept a class of over
eighty boys so quiet and
attentive that mice ventured out of their holes to play in the
class-rooms." Abbé Richardson was a brother of Frederika
Macdonald.

Heger.
Anon, Paul
Heger (unpublished manuscript in the Royal Library in Brussels, undated).
Only the latter of
these three books does mention Charlotte. It is
written by
someone who must have known Heger well. This book, and especially the
first two
chapters about his youth at the Pensionnat, provide interesting
information
about the family. On the inside cover is a stamp with the name of A.
Gyles, and
the place of Charleroi, but this
does
not prove A. Gyles was the author.
