Jeanne Lonise Henriette Genest Campan, a French teacher, born in Paris, Oct. 6, 1752, died at Nantes in .1822. She was appointed reader to the daughters of Louis XV. when only 15 years old, and after her marriage with M. Campan was attached to the person of Marie Antoinette. She showed great devotion to the queen during the revolutionary troubles, and barely escaped with her life on the storming of the Tuileries. Bereft of all her fortune by the revolution, she opened a young ladies' boarding school at St. Germain in 1794, secured the patronage of Mme. Beauhar-nais, afterward the empress Josephine, and attracted the attention and won the esteem of Napoleon, by whom she was in 1806 appointed superintendent of the school founded by him at ficouen for the daughters sisters, and nieces of officers killed on the battle field, over which she presided seven years until it was suppressed by the Bourbons. She was the sister of M. Genest, the French minister to the United States during the second administration of Washington. Her works upon education scarcely rise above mediocrity; but her Journal anecdotique, Correspondance inedite avec la reine Uortense, and Memoires sur la vie privee de Marie Antoinette are full of interest.
