Notes

The son of a farmer, Guilbert was a priest for Saint-Vigor de Rouen at the start of the Revolution. After relinquishing his office, he became the editor of the Mercure anglais (1791) and then, with the lawyer Gilles, the Journal du commerce" (1792). In November 1792, he teamed up with Gilles and Talbot to buy out the publishing business of the widow of Jacques-Jean-Louis-Guillaume Besongne and co-found the Société typographique de Rouen. Arrested at the end of September 1792, he fled to Lausanne in April 1793 following the banning of his journal by the Jacobins. From November 1793, they published the Annales de la Révolution, par une société des gens de lettres, as well as the Almanach des gens de goût but stopped business in May 1796.

Returning in the spring of 1795, Guilbert founded La Vedette normande, the only republican journal in Rouen, and which was subsidized by the Directory. He joined the Theophilanthropist Society and was put under surveillance, losing his subsidy. From 1796-1800, he worked with the printer, Nicholas Herment. His new journal was banned in 1802 following the Brumaire Coup after he had come under suspicion again. Bankrupt in 1810, he moved to Paris where he worked for the publisher, Pierre Gueffier. He later returned to Rouen and became a language teacher.
