'Bourgoing entró por primera vez en España como primer secretario del embajador, Conde de Montmorin, y al retirarse éste continuó como encargado de negocios durante dieciocho meses. En 1785 regresó a Francia para ocupar otro puesto diplomático, y volvió a España en 1792, donde permanecería poco tiempo, en calidad de minsitro plenipotenciario. El panorama español de Bourgoing es, sin discusión, el más amplio y preciso de cuantos aparecieron en el último cuarto del siglo XVIII a través de los ojos de un francés perspicaz.' Robertson.
