Note 27 — Chapter IV

Reverdil was born in 1732 in the Canton of Vaud, and educated at the University of Geneva. He became professor of mathematics at the University of Copenhagen in 1758, and two years later was appointed assistant tutor to the Crown Prince Christian. He has left a record of his experiences at the Danish court in a book entitled Struensee et la cour de Copenhague 1760-1772, Mémoires de Reverdil. To this work I am indebted for much valuable information.
