Excerpt from The Strange Career of the Chevalier D'eon De Beaumont: Minister Plenipotentiary From France to Great Britain in 1763 One of the earliest and most remarkable of the King's secret agents, for his employment as such dated from the year 1754 or 1755, was d'eon de Beaumont, who, as a diplomatist, evinced spirit equal to that of Lord Whitworth under circumstances that have passed into history, and exhibited much of the bravery and daring of the famous Hugh Elliot, without, however, the similar advantage of being enabled to deal all his blows by the light of day, his training from youth having been in the direction rather of intrigue.
