Dans sa dédicace à Monsieur le général baron de Pommereul, Balzac définit ainsi le caissier qui sera la proie de Melmoth: Il est une nature d'hommes que la civilisation obtient dans le règne social, comme les fleuristes créent dans le règne végétal par l'éducation de la serre, une espèce hybride qu'ils ne peuvent reproduire ni par semis, ni par bouture. Cet homme est un caissier, véritable produit anthropomorphe, arrosé par les idées religieuses, maintenu par la guillotine, ébranché par le vice, et qui pousse à un troisième étage entre une femme estimable et des enfants ennuyeux. C'est dire le peu d'estime qu'il a pour le personnage auquel il réserve une vie affreuse.
