DELOLME, JEAN LOUIS (I Swiss jurist and constitutional writer, was born in Geneva in 174o, and died at Sewen, July 16, 1806. Having given offence to the authorities by a pamphlet entitled Examen de trois parts de droit, he was forced to take refuge in England, where he stayed until 1775. During his exile Delolme made a careful study of the English constitution, the results of which he published in his Constitution de l'Angleterre (Amsterdam, 1771), of which an enlarged and improved edition in English appeared in i772. Along with a trans lation of Hume's History of England it supplied the philosophes with most of their ideas about the English constitution. It thus was used somewhat as a political pamphlet. Several editions were published after the author's death. Delolme also wrote in English, Parallel between the English Government and the former Govern ment of Sweden (17 7 2) ; A History of the Flagellants (1782), based upon a work of Boileau's; An Essay on the Union of Scot land with England (1787), and one or two smaller works. Notice by C. Coote prefixed to the 1807 edition of the English translation of the Constitution.
