He founded the _Temps_ in 1829; it lasted till 1842. The title was again taken by M. Xavier Durrieu in 1849, but this paper lasted only ten months, and lastly, in 1861, by M. A. Nefftzer, who founded the _Temps_ which we know to-day.--B.] [Footnote 208: The full title of this paper was _Tablettes historiques, ou Répertoire de documents historiques, politiques, scientifiques et littéraires, avec une Bibliographie raisonnée._ In 1824, after he had been fined and sentenced to a year's imprisonment, M. Coste sold the _Tablettes_ to M. Sosthène de La Rochefoucauld, who was at that time pursuing his policy of buying up the Opposition papers with the funds of the Civil List and sometimes with his own money. One of Coste's collaborators, M. Rabbe, wrote a strong letter to M. Coste, which was inserted in the _Courrier français_, and led to a duel between the two writers.--B.] [Footnote 209: Jean Jacques Baron Baude (_cf._ Vol. IV, p. 7, n. 2). Baude was Prefect of Police from December 1830 to February 1831.--B.]
