520 _aPaul Lacroix (1806-1884) –wideranging author, bibliophile, novelist, and historian– tried to take over the history text market in the competitive world of publishing, which was coming into its own in the nineteenth century. The history merchant’s protean undertakings had two common threads : ensuring cost price sale of his own literary output and putting his love for books to use on the antiquarian document market. These efforts –and their failures– reveal the delicacy of measuring the real and symbolic cost of the written word, a cost based on an economy of the past.
