Frédéric Marcelin

Frédéric Marcelin was born in Port-au-Prince in 1848, into a family of well-off merchants. Sent to Paris at the age of twelve, he was secretary of the Haitian legation in Washington, then a deputy, re-elected in 1882. He ran his country's finances from 1892 to 1894, under President Hippolyte, and afterwards lived in France. In 1905, he founded the review Haïti littéraire et sociale and took charge of finances again until 1908, before leaving once more for Paris, where he died in 1917.
