Notes

André-Charles Cailleau was the son of Parisian printer/bookseller André Cailleau and the son-in-law of printer/bookseller Gabriel Valleyre, whom he succeeded. He qualified as a bookseller on 12th October 1753, and as a printer on 19th May 1772; he acquired some of his father's stock. He printed several almanacs, periodicals, catalogues for his shop, and intellectual works. He was also a man of letters himself, writing satirical and dramatic texts, biographies, and almanacs.

He was issued by a Council decree on 31st May 1761 a fine of 200 livres for the distribution of 'L'Épître sur les spectacles...', a brochure written by F.-C. Huerne de La Mothe and printed without permission.

He often published anonymously, or under a pseudonym and a false address; for example, in 1783, he published under "Philarete" at 'Philadelphie, rue de l'Equerre, au Compas'

On 11th September 1786, he was elected "adjoint" for the Paris community of printers and booksellers. Between 1786 and 1788, he ran 10 printing presses and employed 22-32 journeyman printers.

He was a member of the first Assemblée électorale in Paris, which met from October 1790. He was also a volunteer for the first battalion of the National Guard (Saint-Étienne-du-Mont).
