Biography
He was born at Hesdin, in the Pas-de-Calais department in northern France. Méric was a Doctor in theology, philosophy and letters, and professor of theology at the Sorbonne.
He was president of the Society for Psychical Sciences, founded by Ferdinand Brettes; his resignation was the subject of a brochure published under the pseudonym "Homo Oratorien".
In 1898 he created, in opposition to Brettes, the Academy of Psychical Sciences[1] and became director of the Revue du monde invisible, which he published for ten years (1898–1908).
