Felix Grima would have used his library as a private sanctuary, as well as a public office space for his notarial clients. He was primarily a notary, serving as a Criminal Court Judge for only a few years. Felix Grima graduated from the College d'Orleans, a “university” built in the Faubourg Tremé that emphasized the classics. He studied law with the distinguished attorney, Etienne Mazureau. When Mazareau was appointed State Attorney General, he made Felix his assistant.

Original Grima possessions in this room include two bookcases and all the books in the room. His library indicates the breadth of the Grima family’s interests. His books include works by French authors, Voltaire and Rousseau and the controversial woman author, Georges Sand. Not surprisingly, he owned the works of Shakespeare, but he also had books by Jules Verne, the adventure writer, and James Fenimore Cooper, the American author of The Last of the Mohicans. |
