Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BAR-BEC
BEAUFORT, LOUIS DE (d. 1795) , French historian, of whose
life
  little is known. In 1738 he published at
Utrecht
  a. Dissertation sur l'incertitude des cinq premiers siecles de l'histoire romaine, in which he showed what untrustworthy guides even the his-torians of highest repute, such as Livy and
Dionysius
  of
Halicarnassus
 , were for that period, and pointed out by what methods and by the aid of what documents truly scientific bases might be given to its history. This was an ingenious plea, bold for its time, against traditional history such as
Rollin
  was writing at that very moment. A German, Christopher Saxius, endeavoured to refute it in a
series
  of articles published in vols. i.-iii. of the Miscellanea Liviensia. Beaufort replied by some brief and ironical Remarques in the appendix to the second edition of his Dissertation (1750). Beaufort also wrote an Histoire de Cesar Germanicus (Leyden, 1761), and La Republique romaine, ou plan general de l'ancien gouvernement de Rome (The Hague, 1766, 2 vols. quarto). Though not a scholar of the first rank, Beaufort has at least the merit of having been a
pioneer
  in raising the question, afterwards elaborated by
Niebuhr
 , as to the credibility of early Roman history.
