<p> a French abbe, was born November 2, 1698, at Arinthod (Franche-Comte), and died at [[Paris]] February 24, 1782. He was for some time a chevalier of St. Lazarus, but, quitting that society, went to Paris, and engaged in teaching. He there composed several books, defending [[Christianity]] against the attacks of the philosophers, which attracted the attention of Voltaire, who sought to cast ridicule upon their author, but only succeeded in giving him a more prominent position in the list of apologists. His principal works are, Les Preuves de la [[Religion]] de Jesus-Christ, contre les spinosistes et deistes (Par. 1751, 4 volumes 12mo): — [[Defense]] de la Religion Chretienne contre les difficultes des incredules (Paris, 1755, 2 volumes, 12mo): — Examen du Catechisme de l'honnete homme, etc. (Brussels and Paris, 1764, 12mo): — Reponse aux difficultes proposees contre la religion Chretienne par J.J. Rousseau, etc. (Paris, 1765, 12mo): — Examen des faits qui servent de fondement a la religion Chretienne, etc. (Paris, 1767, 3 volumes 12mo): — Observations sur la "Philosophie de l'Histoire" et sur le "Dictionnaire philosophique," avec des reponses a plusieurs diffcultes (Paris, 1770, 2 volumes, 8vo). — Hoefer, Nouv.
