a French preacher, was born at Vannes, Nov. 1, 1715. He held a distinguished place among the French missionaries of the 18th century. He died at Blois in 1782. He wrote, Conferences Ecclesiastiques, which were very successful in the epoch in which they appeared: nevertheless he was reproached with having combated, in this work, religious tolerance: — Sermons, ou Discours pour les Dimanches et Fites de l'Avent et du Careme, les Mysteres de Notre-Seigneur, de la Vierge; quelques Pangyriques, et sur Plusieurs Points de Morale (Paris, 1784).
