Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: COR-CRE
CRAUFURD, QUINTIN (1743-1819) , British author, was born at Kilwinnock on the 22nd of September 1743. In early life he went to India, where he entered the service of the
East
  India Company. Returning to Europe before the age of
forty
  with a handsome fortune, he settled in Paris, where he gave himself to the cultivation of literature and art, and formed a good library and collection of paintings, coins and other objects of antiquarian
interest
 . Craufurd was on intimate terms with the French
court
 , especially with Marie Antoinette, and was one of those who arranged the flight to Varennes. He escaped to Brussels, but in 1792 he returned to Paris in the
hope
  of rescuing the royal prisoners. He lived among the French emigres until the peace of Amiens made it possible to return to Paris. Through Talleyrand's influence he was able to remain in Paris after the war was
renewed, and he died there on the 23rd of November 1819.
He wrote, among other works, The History, Religion, Learning and Manners of the Hindus (199o),
Secret
  History of the King of France and his Escape from Paris (first published in 1885), Researches concerning the
Laws
 , Theology, Learning and Commerce of Ancient and Modern India (1817), History of the
Bastille
  (1798), On Pericles and the Arts in
Greece
  (1815), Essay on Swift and his Influence on the British Government (18o8), Notice sur Marie Antoinette, (1809), Memoires de Mme du Hausset (18o8).
