The character of Brissot, like that of all c: re, who took an active share in the revolution, is varioi: represented by the writers of different parties. The late Mr. Burke, in his animadversions upon the revc-iu- tionists of France, savs, " This Brissot had been in the lowest and basest employ under the despotic monar- chy; a sort of thief-taker, or spv of police, in which character he acted after the manner of persons of that description. He had been employed by his master the lieutenant de P...olice, for a considerable time in London in the same, or some such honourable occu~: : ':-n. '' But, however respectable, the testimony or Mr. Burke may be, in the opinion of some people, it is ob- vious, that in the present instance, he must either have written under the impulse of prejudice, cr that he has wilfully misrepresented facts; for is it even possi- ble, that the course of life, which Mr. Burke assigns to Brissot, could have allowed him leisure to compose and print those numerous publications, which are uni- versally acknowledged to have been the productions of his pen : Or is it at all probable, that the first jnen in France, such as Condorcet, Rohnd, 336 NEW BIOGRAPHICAL would have been eager to make acquaintance with, and cultivate the friendship of a person, who had fol- Jowed so mean and disreputable a trade, whatever might have been the strength or greatness of his na- tural genius?
