Son of Casimir Périer, Auguste Casimir Périer was a politician who twice served as Minister of the Interior between 1871 and 1873, and as Deputy and then Senator between 1871 and 1876. He was an ardent defender and organizer of the Republic, which was established in 1875. The French people were grateful for his work, and the book begins with a page of tribute dedicated to him by Chaix's employees and workers.
