• Notes

  Solicitor-General of Jersey, 1750-51; Attorney-General of Jersey, 1751-57. From Joan Stevens, "Thomas Le Maistre's 18th Century Diary" (citation details below): The funeral of Francois Guillaume took place with great ceremony and was followed by many volleys of fire; [Thomas Le Maistre] goes on: "He was much regretted and one may say that he was one of the greatest men this Island has produced, being a great and eloquent orator, and in a word he spoke and wrote as he wished, and his name reflects what he was: master in name, master of spirit, of memory, of eloquence, of prudence, of science, of the spoken word, of thought, of penetration, of pleading, of the pen, of politeness, of wisdom, of goodness and affability. One cannot end his eulogy for he was a real master of all talents."
