[v.04 p.0498] BREQUIGNY, LOUIS GEORGE OUDARD FEUDRIX DE (_continued from part 2_) ... volumes x.-xiv., the preface to vol. xi. containing important researches into the French communes. To the _Table chronologique des diplomes, chartes, lettres, et actes imprimes concernant l'histoire de France_ he contributed three volumes in collaboration with Mouchet (1769-1783). Charged with the supervision of a large collection of documents bearing on French history, analogous to Rymer's _Foedera_, he published the first volume (_Diplomatat. Chartae_, &c., 1791). The Revolution interrupted him in his collection of _Memoires concernant l'histoire, les sciences, les lettres, et les arts des Chinois_, begun in 1776 at the instance of the minister Bertin, when fifteen volumes had appeared.
