Notes

Gaspard-Joseph Cuchet was the eldest son of Grenoble bookseller Joseph Cuchet. He became a bookseller himself in 1771 in Grenoble, taking over his father's shop and reading room in January 1772.

He took up an apprenticeship in Paris in July 1777 and started work as a bookseller in his own right in 1781, having officially qualified in July 1784. He would have actively participated in the events of 14th July and 5th October 1789; he went bankrupt shortly afterwards. He was a member of the Société des amis des Noirs.

On 12 July 1794, he appeared before the Committee of Public Safety, accused of publishing counter-revolutionary pamphlets. He was referred to the Revolutionary Tribunal on 26th July, but saved the next day by the fall of Robespierre.

Cuchet specialised in works on agronomy, for which he was subsidised. Antoine-Jeudy Dugour bought his stock at the end of 1796.

He printed the Journal de Perlet. He was also the owner and editor of the royalist newspaper Le Mémorial; he would have been sentenced to deportation in September 1797, following the Coup of 18 Fructidor and the suppression of this publication. He was active again in the Republican year 8 (1799-1800), but seems to have retired in year 10 (1801-1802).

In 1805, he was officially recorded as a "former bookseller". He died in Paris in December 1833.
