He completed the "Précis de la géographie universelle" ("A system of universal geography") of Conrad Malte-Brun in 1829, which was left unfinished after the death of the Danish scholar in 1826. He also contributed the geological work "Nouveau cours élémentaire de géologie" to "Suites à Buffon", published by the library Roret. In addition, he made contributions to Nicolas Desmarest's "Encyclopédie méthodique : Géographie-physique". Late in his life, he was the curator of the library of the city of Versailles.
