Biography

Early years

Born at on 17 April 1750 in Saffais, in Meurthe-et-Moselle, the son of a schoolteacher,Template:Sfn he studied at the College of Neufchâteau in the Vosges. At the age of fourteen, he published a volume of poetry which obtained the interest of Jean-Jacques Rousseau and Voltaire.Template:Sfn When only sixteen, he was elected member of some of the main academies of France. In 1783 he was named procureur-général to the council of Saint Domingue. He had previously been engaged on a translation of Ariosto, which he finished before his return to France five years afterwards, but it was destroyed on a shipwreck during his voyage home.Template:Sfn

Revolution

During the French Revolution, Neufchâteau was elected deputy supplant to the National Assembly, charged with the organization of the département of the Vosges, and elected later to the Legislative Assembly, of which he first became secretary and then president.Template:Sfn In 1793 he was imprisoned on account of his play Paméla ou la vertu récompensée (Théâtre de la Nation, 1 August 1793).Template:Sfn His play had been denounced by Collot d'Herbois because lines spoken about persecution could easily be interpreted as criticism of the ruling faction and the entire cast was arrested along with him on the 2 September.<ref>Jonathan Israel, Revolutionary Ideas: An Intellectual History of the French Revolution from the Rights of Man to Robespierre, p. 518</ref> He was released the following year with the start of the Thermidorian Reaction.Template:Sfn

Directory and Napoleon

In 1797, he became Minister of the Interior,<ref>Template:Citation</ref> distinguishing himself by his thorough administration. It is Neufchâteau who initiated the French system of inland navigation. He inaugurated the museum of the Louvre and was one of the promoters of the Exposition des produits de l'industrie française, the first universal exhibition of industrial products.Template:Sfn He replaced Lazare Carnot as a member of the French Directory, a position he held between 9 September 1797, and 23 April 1798.Template:Sfn

From 19 May 1804 to 19 May 1806 he was president of the Conservative Senate,Template:Sfn<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> coinciding with the establishment of the First Empire — his office implied that he was the one to solicit Napoleon Bonaparte to assume the title of Emperor.Template:Sfn In 1803, he was admitted to the Académie Française, and in 1808 he received the dignity of count.Template:Sfn Retiring from public life in 1814, after the Bourbon Restoration, he occupied himself chiefly with the study of agriculture until his death.Template:Sfn

Death

He died in Paris on 10 January 1828.

Works

Neufchâteau had multiple accomplishments, and interested himself in a great variety of subjects, but his fame rests mostly on what he did as a statesman for the encouragement and development of the industries of France. His late poetical productions are not judged to be as original as his youth oeuvre. He was a noted grammarian and literary critic, as is witnessed by his editions of the Lettres provinciales and Pensées of Blaise Pascal (Paris, 1822 and 1826) and Alain-René Lesage's Gil Blas (Paris, 1820). He was also the author of a large number of works on agriculture.Template:Sfn
