He is chiefly remembered as the <a href="/wiki/French_language" title="French language">French</a> editor of the writings of the English philosopher and social reformer <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Bentham" title="Jeremy Bentham">Jeremy Bentham</a>. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Early_life">Early life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%C3%89tienne_Dumont&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Early life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Dumont was born in <a href="/wiki/Geneva" title="Geneva">Geneva</a>, where his family had been citizens of good repute from the days of <a href="/wiki/John_Calvin" title="John Calvin">Calvin</a>. He was educated for the ministry at the <a href="/wiki/Coll%C3%A8ge_Calvin" title="Collège Calvin">Collège de Genève</a>, and in 1781 was chosen one of the pastors of the city. Then <a href="/wiki/Politics" title="Politics">politics</a> suddenly turned the course of his life.

He went to join his mother and sisters in <a href="/wiki/St_Petersburg" class="mw-redirect" title="St Petersburg">St Petersburg</a>. In this he was probably influenced in part by the example of his townsman Pierre Lefort, the first tutor, minister, and general of the Tsar. At St Petersburg he was for eighteen months pastor of the French church. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Move_to_England">Move to England</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%C3%89tienne_Dumont&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Move to England"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1785 he moved to London, the former prime minister <a href="/wiki/William_Petty,_2nd_Earl_of_Shelburne" title="William Petty, 2nd Earl of Shelburne">Lord Shelburne</a>, who had been created Marquess of Lansdowne the previous year, having invited him to undertake the education of his sons. In 1786, Dumont succeeded <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Priestley" title="Joseph Priestley">Joseph Priestley</a> as Lansdowne's librarian.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was at Lansdowne's house, where he was treated virtually as member of the family, that he became acquainted with many illustrious men, including <a href="/wiki/Charles_James_Fox" title="Charles James Fox">Charles James Fox</a>, <a href="/wiki/Richard_Brinsley_Sheridan" title="Richard Brinsley Sheridan">Richard Brinsley Sheridan</a>, <a href="/wiki/Henry_Richard_Vassall-Fox,_3rd_Baron_Holland" class="mw-redirect" title="Henry Richard Vassall-Fox, 3rd Baron Holland">Lord Holland</a> and <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Romilly" title="Samuel Romilly">Sir Samuel Romilly</a>. With the last of these he formed a close and enduring friendship, which had an important influence on his life and pursuits. </p><p>In 1788 Dumont visited <a href="/wiki/Paris" title="Paris">Paris</a> with Romilly. During a stay of two months in that city he had almost daily intercourse with <a href="/wiki/Honor%C3%A9_Mirabeau" class="mw-redirect" title="Honoré Mirabeau">Honoré Mirabeau</a>, and a certain affinity of talents and pursuits led to an intimacy between two persons diametrically opposed to each other in habits and in character. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Editing_Bentham">Editing Bentham</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%C3%89tienne_Dumont&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Editing Bentham"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>On his return from Paris Dumont made the acquaintance of <a href="/wiki/Jeremy_Bentham" title="Jeremy Bentham">Jeremy Bentham</a>. Filled with admiration for Bentham's genius, Dumont made it one of the chief objects of his life not merely to translate Bentham into French, but to recast and edit his writings in a form suitable for the ordinary reading public. </p><p>Dumont's editing was heavy-handed, but necessarily so. According to his own account, all the fundamental ideas and most of the illustrative material were already in Bentham's manuscripts; but his task was chiefly to abridge by striking out repeated matter, to supply <i><a href="/wiki/Lacuna_(manuscripts)" title="Lacuna (manuscripts)">lacunae</a></i>, to secure uniformity of style, and to improve the <a href="/wiki/French_language" title="French language">French</a>. Bentham's writing (whether in English or in French) was notoriously convoluted and impenetrable, and according to one reviewer, writing in 1817, "[i]t is indeed when he speaks by another’s lips, that he appears to most advantage; and it to the graces of style which Mr Dumont has given him that he owes the reputation which he has acquired, and which is, from that cause, much greater in foreign countries than in his own. ... [I]t is possible that, but for Dumont, Bentham’s reputation might never have emerged from obscurity."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In places, Dumont was also prepared to oversimplify Bentham's ideas, and indeed to contradict them, for example where he considered that Bentham had been over-critical of the British constitution, or had expressed religious scepticism. </p><p>The following works of Bentham were published under Dumont's editorship: </p> <ul><li><i>Traité de legislation civile et pénale</i> (1802)</li> <li><i>Théorie des peines et des recompenses</i> (1811)</li> <li><i>Tactique des assemblées legislatives</i> (1815)</li> <li><i>Traité des preuves judiciaires</i> (1823)</li> <li><i>De l'organization judiciaire et de la codification</i> (1828)</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="French_Revolution">French Revolution</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%C3%89tienne_Dumont&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: French Revolution"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In the summer of 1789 Dumont went to Paris. The object of the journey was to obtain through <a href="/wiki/Jacques_Necker" title="Jacques Necker">Jacques Necker</a>, who had just returned to office, an unrestricted restoration of Genevese liberty, by cancelling the treaty of guarantee between France and <a href="/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland">Switzerland</a>, which prevented the republic from enacting new laws without the consent of the parties to this treaty. The proceedings and negotiations to which this mission gave rise necessarily brought Dumont into connection with most of the leading men in the <a href="/wiki/Constituent_Assembly" class="mw-redirect" title="Constituent Assembly">Constituent Assembly</a>, and made him an interested spectator, sometimes even a participator, indirectly, in the events of the <a href="/wiki/French_Revolution" title="French Revolution">French Revolution</a>. </p> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:TombPierreEtienneLouisDumont-CimetiereDesRoisGeneva_RomanDeckert17052022.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/TombPierreEtienneLouisDumont-CimetiereDesRoisGeneva_RomanDeckert17052022.jpg/220px-TombPierreEtienneLouisDumont-CimetiereDesRoisGeneva_RomanDeckert17052022.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="390" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/TombPierreEtienneLouisDumont-CimetiereDesRoisGeneva_RomanDeckert17052022.jpg/330px-TombPierreEtienneLouisDumont-CimetiereDesRoisGeneva_RomanDeckert17052022.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8e/TombPierreEtienneLouisDumont-CimetiereDesRoisGeneva_RomanDeckert17052022.jpg/440px-TombPierreEtienneLouisDumont-CimetiereDesRoisGeneva_RomanDeckert17052022.jpg 2x" data-file-width="2904" data-file-height="5152" /></a><figcaption>Dumont's grave at the <i><a href="/wiki/Cimeti%C3%A8re_des_Rois" title="Cimetière des Rois">Cimetière des Rois</a></i> in Geneva</figcaption></figure> <p>The same cause also led him to renew his acquaintance with Mirabeau, whom he found occupied with his duties as a deputy, and with the composition of his journal, the <i>Courrier de Provence</i>. For a time Dumont took an active and very efficient part in the conduct of this journal, supplying it with reports as well as original articles, and also furnishing Mirabeau with speeches to be delivered or rather read in the assembly, as related in his highly instructive and interesting posthumous work entitled <i>Souvenirs sur Mirabeau</i> (1832). In fact his friend George Wilson used to relate that one day, when they were dining together at a <i><a href="/wiki/Table_d%27h%C3%B4te" title="Table d'hôte">table d'hôte</a></i> at <a href="/wiki/Versailles_(city)" class="mw-redirect" title="Versailles (city)">Versailles</a>, he saw Dumont engaged in writing the most celebrated paragraph of Mirabeau's address to the king for the removal of the troops. He also reported such of Mirabeau's speeches as he did not write, embellishing them from his own stores, which were inexhaustible. But this co-operation soon came to an end; for, being attacked in pamphlets as one of Mirabeau's writers, he felt hurt at the notoriety thus given to his name in connection with a man occupying Mirabeau's peculiar position, and returned to England in 1791. In 1791, Dumont along with the <a href="/wiki/Marquis_de_Condorcet" title="Marquis de Condorcet">Marquis de Condorcet</a>, <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Paine" title="Thomas Paine">Thomas Paine</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Jacques_Pierre_Brissot" title="Jacques Pierre Brissot">Jacques-Pierre Brissot</a> published a brief newspaper promoting republicanism.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Later_life">Later life</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=%C3%89tienne_Dumont&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Later life"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1801 Dumont travelled over various parts of Europe with <a href="/wiki/Henry_Petty-Fitzmaurice,_3rd_Marquess_of_Lansdowne" title="Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne">Henry Petty-Fitzmaurice, 3rd Marquess of Lansdowne</a>, and on his return settled down to the editorship of Bentham's works. In 1814 the restoration of Geneva to independence induced him to return there, and he soon became leader of the supreme council. He devoted particular attention to the City's judicial and penal systems, and many improvements on both are due to him. </p><p><a href="/wiki/Johann_Wolfgang_von_Goethe" title="Johann Wolfgang von
