abbe De Fourguevaux, grandson of Francois, was born in 1693 at Toulouse. He enlisted in the regiment of the Roi d'Infctnterie, and obtained a lieutenancy. Upon the urgent entreaties of his mother he left the profession of arms, and in 1717 entered the society of Saint Hilaire, in Paris. He died Aug. 2, 1768, at the chateau De Fourguevaux. In devoting him self to works of piety, he took part in religious quarrels, and wrote many books of devotion or controversy: we cite from him, Traitl de la Confiance Chreitiezne (Paris, 1728,.1781), which occasioned great disputes; and Catechisme historique et dogmatigell (ibid. 1729, 2 vols. 12mo; reprinted in 1766 in 5 vols. with the sequels). See Nouvelles Ecclesiast. Feb. 7, 1769.
