MASSÉU, WILLIAM, a learned French writer, member of the Academy of Belles Lettres, and of the French Academy, was born at Caen in Normandy in 1665; and completed his studies at Paris, when he entered amongst the Jesuits; but afterwards left them, that he might follow his inclination to polite literature with the greater freedom. In 1710 he was made Greek professor in the royal college; and enjoyed that post till his death, which happened at Paris in 1722. He wrote, 1. Several curious dissertations in the Memoirs of the Academy of Inscriptions. 2. A history of the French poetry, in 12mo, &c.
