Notice biographique

Originally from Geneva, Francis or Francois d'Ivernois was exiled from Switzerland as a young man. In 1784 he wrote An Historical and Political View of the Constitution and Revolutions of Geneva in the Eighteenth Century, which was published anonymously. In the 1790s and early 1800s, d'Ivernois, who opposed the French Revolution, came to live in England and worked for the government as an adviser, agent and propagandist. King George III knighted him for his services to the country. In later life d'Ivernois returned to Switzerland, serving as the Swiss representative to the Congress of Vienna (1815) and later on the Conseil d'Etat.
