Excerpt from Figaro: The Life of Beaumarchais The King of France, wrote Montesquieu in his Lettres Persanes, has no gold-mines, like his neighbour the King of Spain, but he has greater riches, for he draws his wealth from the vanity of his sub jects - a more inexhaustible source of supply than any mines. He has been known to undertake and sustain great wars with no other funds than those drawn from the sale of titles of honour, and yet, by a prodigy of human pride, his troops were paid, his towns fortified, and his eets equipped. The journeyman watchmaker, of the witty tongue and unbridled pen, the secret agent, the counsellor of kings, the millionaire merchant-adventurer whose energy and daring contributed so largely to the success of the Colonies in their struggle for independence, the author of two of the most Sparkling comedies ever written, the gay, Open-handed, cool headed, hot-blooded creature whose amazing career we propose to follow in these pages must be numbered among those whose vanity Went to fill the coffers of the State. Of course Figaro was not his real name, but then neither was Beaumarchais, for in the least unpleasant, as it was the happiest, pleasantry made at his expense, we are told that the Sieur Caron borrowed the name of Beaumarchais from one of his wives and lent it to one of his sisters - a gibe which doubtless annoyed him con siderably, for in a sarcasm it is only the truth that stings. In View, then, of the precedent which he himself has set, we have no com punction in borrowing the name of Figaro from the most memorable child of his imagination and lending it to this biography of his creator. We shall find, indeed, as we proceed, that our hero's character, his joyous adventures, and the dramatic changes of his fortune are so clearly re ected in those of his ingenious valet that it is by no means easy to define the limits of their respective activities. And, lastly, if Caron made the name of Beaumarchais famous, the latter rendered the name of Figaro more famous still.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

"Beaumarchais and the War of American Independence" in 2 volumes is one of the best-known works by an American historian Elizabeth Sarah Kite. Pierre Beaumarchais (1732-1799) was a French polymath who rose in French society and became influential in the court of Louis XV as an inventor and music teacher. He made a number of important business and social contacts, and played various roles as a diplomat and spy. An early French supporter of American independence, Beaumarchais lobbied the French government on behalf of the American rebels during the American War of Independence. Before France officially entered the war in 1778, Beaumarchais played a major role in delivering French munitions, money and supplies to the American army.
