Encyclopedic overview
Jacques Pierre Brissot ( French pronunciation: [ʒak pjɛʁ bʁiso]; 15 January 1754 – 31 October 1793), also known as Brissot de Warville, was a French journalist, abolitionist, and revolutionary leading the faction of the Girondins (initially called Brissotins) at the National Convention in Paris.
Born in Chartres, Brissot trained as a law clerk, but acquired notoriety as a radical writer and journalist, winning the approval of Voltaire for his writings on the philosophy of law. He collaborated on the Mercure de France and the Courier de l'Europe, which sympathized with the insurgents in the American colonies.
