"(...) né pauvre, avait d'abord rempli des fonctions subalternes dans les gabelles; mais, n'ayant point obtenu l'avancement que méritaient ses services et ses talents, il quitta son emploi, et se fit recevoir, en 1761, avocat au parlement de Paris. Mettant à profit les connaissances qu'il avait de la maltôte, il défendit devant la cour des aides, et souvent avec succès, les malheureux fraudeurs poursuivis à la requête des fermiers généraux; mais il ne s'en tint pas là. Darigrand signale tous les abus résultant du système des fermes dans un petit écrit intitulé: l'Antifinancier (...); cette brochure (...) fit beaucoup de bruit à sa publication, et l'auteur fut mis à la Bastille. Il en sortit plus animé contre ses irréconciliables ennemis, et ne cessa de les poursuivre jusqu'a sa mort, arrivée au mois d'octobre 1771" (Biogr. Univ. VI, 43).
