Pierre Robert Le Prevost <ref name="term_56504" /> 
<p> a French pulpit orator of some note, was born at [[Rouen]] in 1675. From his youth he displayed a marked propensity for preaching, and proceeded to [[Paris]] to improve himself after the model of celebrated orators. Sought after with eagerness in the city, he was no less a favorite at court, where he preached statedly during [[Advent]] from 1714 to 1727, and in 1718 during Lent. At this last date he was provided with a canonship at Chartres. The record of his funeral sermons, published by Lottin (Paris, 1765), contains those of the cardinal of F ü rstenberg (of which [[Flechier]] speaks with eulogy), of Godet of Marais, bishop of Chartres, of Louis XIV and of the duke of Berri; sermons, and a panegyric of St. Louis. He died in 1736 at Chartres. — Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. G é neral é, s.v. See Vinet, French Lit. p. 116 sq. </p>
