ADAM, JULIETTE (1836-1936), French writer, known also by her maiden name of Juliette Lamber, was born at Verberie (Oise) Oct. 4, 1836. She has given an account of her childhood, rendered unhappy by the dissensions of her parents, in Le Roman de MOM enfance et de ma jeunesse (Eng. trans., 1902). In 1852 she married a doctor named La Messine, and published in 1858 her ldees antiproudhoniennes sur l'amour, la femme et le manage, in defence of Daniel Stern (Mme. d'Agoult) and George Sand. On her husband's death she married, in 1868, Antoine Edmond Adam (1816-1877), prefect of police in 187o, and subsequently life-senator ; and she established a salon which was frequented by Gambetta and the other republican leaders against the con servative reaction of the 'seventies. In the same interest she founded in 1879 the Nouvelle Revue, which she edited for the first eight years, and in the administration of which she retained a preponderating influence until 1899. She wrote the notes on foreign politics, and was unremitting in her attacks on Bismarck and in her advocacy of a policy of revanche. The famous Lettres sur la politique exterieure in this review are from her pen. Mme. Adam was also generally credited with a share in the authorship of papers on various European capitals signed "Paul Vasili." The most famous of her numerous novels is Paienne (1883). Her reminiscences, Mes premieres armes litteraires et politiques (1904), Mes sentiments et nos idees avant 187o (1905), and later volumes in 1907, 1909 and 191o, contain much interesting gossip about her distinguished contemporaries. Mme. Adam saw the revolution of '48, the Second Empire, the Siege of Paris, the Treaty of Versailles, and lived to see the revanche she had f ought and prayed for when the second Treaty of Versailles was signed in 1919. In her youth she had belonged to the anti-clerical Liberal Party, but in the disillusionments of her later days she moved with her time, and just as Paienne had reflected a free thinking age, Chretienne (1913) was a glorification of the Cath olic tradition. She died on Aug. 23, 1936• See W. Stephens, Madame Adam, la grande francaise (i9i7).
