     Albert Dresden Vandam was born in March 1843 at Amsterdam, Netherlands.^1,2 He is the subject of a full biography in The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography as a 'journalist and writer':

He 'was the son of Mark Vandam, of Jewish descent, district commissioner for the Netherlands state lottery. Before he was thirteen he was sent to Paris, where he was privately educated and remained fifteen years. According to his own story, he was looked after in boyhood by two maternal great-uncles, who had been surgeons in Napoleon's army, had set up after Waterloo in private practice at Paris, enjoyed the entrée to Napoleon III's court, and entertained at their house the leaders of Parisian artistic society. Vandam claimed that his youth was passed among French people of importance, and that he also made the acquaintance of the theatrical and Bohemian worlds of the French capital.

'Vandam began his career as a journalist during the Austro-Prussian War of 1866, writing for English papers, and he was correspondent for American papers during the Franco-Prussian War. After settling in London in 1871 he did translation from French and Dutch, and other literary work, occasionally going abroad on special assignments for newspapers. From 1882 to 1887 he was again in Paris as correspondent for The Globe, subsequently making his home anew in London.

'Vandam's An Englishman in Paris, published anonymously in 1892 (2 vols.), excited considerable curiosity. It collected apparently intimate gossip of the courts of Louis Philippe and Napoleon III. Vandam wrote again on French life and history, often depreciatingly, in My Paris Note-Book (1894), French Men and French Manners (1895), Undercurrents of the Second Empire (1897), and Men and Manners of the Second Empire (1904), but he did not repeat the success of his first effort. He also published some novels.

'Vandam translated into English the autobiography of the sixteenth-century Pomeranian notary Bartholomew Sastrow, which he published as Social Germany in Luther's Time (1902, introduction by H. A. L. Fisher)...¹'
