From Wiki: Charles, marquis de Villette Charles Michel, Marquis de Villette (b, 1736 – 1793) was a French writer and politician. Charles was born in Paris as the heir of a financier who left him a large fortune and the nobility title of Marquis. He succeeded in gaining the intimacy of Voltaire, who had known his mother and who wished to turn him into a poet; the aging philosophe is even recorded to have viewed his protégé Villette as "the French Tibullus". During the French Revolution, Villette publicly burned his lettres de noblesse, and wrote revolutionary articles in the Chronique de Paris. In 1784 he published his Œuvres, and in 1792 his articles in the Chronique de Paris appeared in book form under the title Lettres choisies sur les principaux événements de la Révolution.
