Éloge De M. Le Comte De Vergennes
is a eulogy delivered by Félix Vicq-d'Azyr on February 12, 1788, before the Royal Society of Medicine, commemorating the life and accomplishments of the Comte de Vergennes, a prominent French statesman. This historical document offers insights into the life and career of Vergennes, a key figure in French diplomacy during the reign of Louis XVI, particularly known for his role in supporting the American Revolution. Vicq-d'Azyr, a renowned physician and member of the French Academy, provides a detailed and laudatory account, reflecting the esteem in which Vergennes was held by his contemporaries. This text is a valuable resource for historians interested in 18th-century France, the history of medicine, and the biographical accounts of influential figures of the era. It sheds light on the political and intellectual climate of pre-revolutionary France.
