 | | ISNARD, MAXIMIN (1758-1825), French revolutionist, was a dealer in perfumery at Draguignan when he was elected deputy for the department of the Var to the Legislative Assembly, where he joined the Girondists. |
 | | Attacking the court, and the " Austrian committee " in the Tuileries, he demanded the disbandment of the king's bodyguard, and reproached Louis XVI, for infidelity to the constitution. |
 | | The committee, consisting of 25 members, proved unwieldy, and on the 4th of April Isnard presented, on behalf of the Girondist majority, the report recommending a smaller committee of nine, which two days later was established as the Committee of Public Safety. |
