GOMEZ, MAGDALENE ANGELINA PAISSON DE,
A French author, was the daughter of Paul Paisson, a player, and born at Paris, in 1684. She married M. de Gomez, a Spanish gentleman of small fortune, in whose circumstances she was deceived. She, however, procured sufficient, by her writings, to live at St. Germaine-en-Laye; she died there in 1770. Her works were numerous, chiefly romances, which were well written, and have been much esteemed. Those most celebrated were "Les Journées Amusantes," eight vols.; "Crementine," two vols.; "Anecdotes Persans," two vols.; "Les Cent Nouvelles," eight vols. She also wrote several tragedies, which were unsuccessful.
