"This merchant from Lyon escaped the Revolution and became a successful businessman in the USA and then in England. After the Restauration[sic], he repeatedly travelled in Switzerland between 1817 and 1819. In 1822 he published a travel account and an historical essay about the country. His analysis of the Landsgemeinde and of the political system of government in the rural cantons completely destroyed the paradox of Montesquieu and opened the way for a new consciousness of liberty and virtue in democracy." - Claude Reichler.
