Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: MOL-MOS
MORELLET, ANDRE (1727-1819) , French economist and miscellaneous writer, was born at Lyons on the 7th of
March
  1727. He was one of the last survivors of the philosophes, and in this character he figures in many memoirs, such as Mme de
Remusat
 's. He was educated by the
Jesuits
  in his native town, and at the Sorbonne; he then took holy orders, but his designation of abbe was the
chief
  thing clerical about him. He had a ready and biting wit, and Voltaire called him " L'Abbe Mord-les." His
work
  was chiefly occasional, and the most notable parts of it were a smart pamphlet in answer to Charles Palissot's scurrilous play Les Philosophes (which procured him a short sojourn in the
Bastille
  for an alleged libel on Palissot's patroness, the princesse de Robeck), and a reply to
Galiani
 's Commerce des Iles (1770). Later, he made himself useful in quasi-diplomatic communications with English statesmen, and was pensioned, being, moreover, elected a member of the
Academy
  in 1785. A year before his death in Paris on the 12th of January 1819 he brought out four volumes of Melanges de lilterature et de philosophi du X VIII'siecle, composed chieflyof selections from his former publications, and after his death appeared his valuable Memoires sur le X VIII' siecle et la Revolution (2 vcls., 1821).
A bibliography of his numerous works is given in Querard's La France litteraire, vol. vi. ; see also Sainte-Beuve, Causeries du lundi, vol. i.
