In his research he found himself opposed to Claude Bernard; as a result of this conflict he abandoned his research to devote himself to popular science. He edited and published a yearbook from 1857 to 1894 L'Année scientifique et industrielle or Exposé annuel des travaux in which he compiled an inventory of the scientific discoveries of the year it was continued after his death until 1914. He was the author of numerous successful works: Les Grandes inventions anciennes et modernes 1861 Le Savant du foyer 1862 La Terre avant le déluge 1863 illustrated by Édouard Riou La Terre et les mers 1864 Les Merveilles de la science 18671891.
