BUZOT' (J. M.) one of the members of the French 
convention. While a boy, he was diftinguifhed by extra¬ 
ordinary talents ; and the purity and integrity of his cha- 
radtei'”were admirably adapted to fet off his abilities to the 
belt advantage. Madame Roland fays, “ he united the 
morals of a Socrates with the gentlenefs of a Scipio.” 
Both in the conftituent airembly and the convention, he 
was confidered as a firfi-rate fpeaker; and his report on 
the necelTity of a departmental guard, has always been 
fpoken of as a mafier-piece. He was a man of letters, as 
well as an orator. His addreffes to his conftituents abound 
in bold truths and manly arguments. The charges adduced 
againft him by his enemies, are in truth fo many panegy¬ 
rics. He was accufed of royalifm, becaufe he averted that 
morals were necelTary in a republic ; and of calumniating 
Paris, becaufe he abhorred the maffacres of September. 
He was one of the Girondifts; and his attachment to a 
federative republic, fuch as thofe of Greece, America, 
and Swilferland, inftead of a republic one and. indivifible, 
colt him his life. He was intended to be feized for the 
guillotine, but was alfaffinated in a field in the Gironde, 
in July, 1793.
