Friend of Marie Antoinette and Washington Louis Philippe de Segur
Paris September 18. A portrait of Count Louis Philippe de Segur dominates the new Esquisses et pecits by the Marquis de Segur. Born at the close of the Seven Years War and dying after the July Revolution, Segur was a traveler, poet, historian, and diplomat. He served as colonel of dragoons, ambassador to Russia, ambassador to Frederick the Great, and a senator under Napoleon, later a peer during the Restoration. He knew Louis XV, Louis XVI, Marie Antoinette, George Washington, Catherine II, and Napoleon, and his memoirs are renowned though he refused to publish further evasive material. The article recounts episodes from his life, including his role in diplomacy, his clashes with Napoleon over Chateaubriand, and his later years as a journalist confined to his bed.
