ANTHELME BRILLAT-SAVARIN (1755-1826), French gas tronomist, was born at Belley, France, on the 1st of April 1755. In 1789 he was a deputy, in 1793 mayor of Belley. To escape proscription he fled from France to Switzerland, and went thence to the United States, where he played in the orchestra of a New York theatre. On the fall of Robespierre he returned to France, and in 17 9 7 became a member of the court of cassation.
