Fouquier Tin'ville, ANTOINE QUENTIN, ( foo'ke -ai,) an execrable monster of the French Revolution, B. 1747. His early career was immoral, but insignificant. On the outbreak of the Revolution, he figured as one of the fiercest democrats. By Robes pierre he was appointed, first, a member, then director and public accuser, of the Revolutionary Tribunal. Without education, conscience, or sense of justice, he executed with brutal apathy the bloody orders of the Committee of Public Safety. In reference to this feature of his character, his countrymen say that "he had no soul-not even that of a tiger, which at least pretends to be pleased with what it devours." Incapable of friendship, or of anything even remotely allied to generosity, he systematically abandoned his succe ive coadjutors in their hour of need, and sent to the scaffold, without the slightest compunction, Bailly and Vergniaud, Danton and Hebert, Robes pierre and St. Just. He himself died by the guillotine, in a cowardly manner, May 7, 1795.
