CORNEILLE (Thomas), brother of the former, was a member of the French academy, and of that of inscriptions. He discovered in his youth a great inclination to poetry; and at length published several dramatic pieces, in five volumes duodecimo, some of which were applauded by the public, and acted with success. He also wrote, 1. A translation of Ovid's Metamorphoses, and of some of Ovid's Epistles. 2. Remarks on Vauglas. 3. A Dictionary of Arts, two volumes folio; and, 4. An universal, geographical, and historical Dictionary, in three volumes folio.
