Pierre-Marie-Charles de Bernard du Grail de la Villette (1804-1850) was a French writer. William Makepeace Thackeray called de Bernard's characters "men and women of genteel society--rascals enough, but living in no state of convulsive crimes; and we follow him in his lively, malicious account of their manners, without risk of lighting upon any such horrors as Balzac or Dumas has provided for us."
