  • Pages intimés (1866), which received a prize from the Academy
  • Poèmes populaires (1874)
  • Pendant la guerre (1871)
  • patriotic poems, which were forbidden in Alsace-Lorraine by the German authorities
  • En voyage (1881), poems
  • La France (4 vols, 1854-1858)
  • a school-book 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.

    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.
