He was educated at a college of the Jesuits, be- came a priest, and for some time taught the- ology and preached. He went to Paris in 1747, and became an assistant clergyman at the church of St. Sulpice ; but he soon gave up the ministry, associated with the " philosophers," and became director of the Mercure de France.
