Jean-Pierre Bérenger (1737– June, 1807) was a Swiss editor, historian, translator and pamphletist.
He was born in
Geneva to a family not native to the city, hence lacking citizenship. He studied in Geneva, and appears to have led a movement to gain political rights for similar residents, prompting his exile in 1770 by the Council of Ten. He moved to
Lausanne, where he began to write. He was allowed to return to Geneva in 1781, where he successfully continued to agitate for participation. He corresponded by mail frequently with
Benjamin Franklin.[1]
Among his works, either written or edited, were:.[2]
