- A schoolbook written in collaboration with his brother-in-law, Abraham Ernest Lévi Alvarès
- Les Ouvriers (1870), a drama dealing with social questions, which was crowned by the Academy
- L'Absent (1873), a comedy
- Poésies dufoyer et de l'école (1889), and editions of the works of JB Rousseau (1852) and André Chénier (1884).
He died in Paris in 1901.[1]
His Poésies completes (2 vols, 1899) contained some fresh poems; to his Mélanges en prose (Paris, 1905) is prefixed an introductory note by A Cahen.[1]
