I am by birth a Genevese, and my family is one of the most distinguished of
that republic. My ancestors had been for many years counsellors and syndics,
and my father had filled several public situations with honour and reputation. He
was respected by all who knew him for his integrity and indefatigable attention
to public business. He passed his younger days perpetually occupied by the
affairs of his country; a variety of circumstances had prevented his marrying
early, nor was it until the decline of life that he became a husband and the father
of a family.
