Marquis d'Argens

Marquis d'Argens (1704-1771) was a French soldier and author, born at Aix. He was disinherited owing to his misconduct. He turned to letters and became author of sceptical writings. He became a protégé of Frederick the Great, but lost caste with him too, and was deprived of his all once more. His best known writing is titled "Lettres Juives".
