ROUSSELOT DE SURGY, Jacques Philibert (roo-seh-lo), French author, born in Dijon, 26 June, 1787; died in Paris, 11 March, 1791. He held for many years an office in the French treasury department, and was afterward royal censor of new publications. His "Melanges interessants et curieux " (10 vols., Paris, 1763-'5) treat of the natural, civil, and political history of Asia and America; the six last volumes are devoted to the latter country, and contain some interesting information that is scarcely to be found elsewhere, as the author in his official capacity had access to the French archives of state, many of which have been missing since the revolution of 1789. His other works include "Memoires geographiques, physiques et historiques sur l'Amerique du Sud" (2 vols., 1767), and " Histoire naturelle et politique de la Pensylvanie, et de l'etablissement des Quakers dans cette controe," in part translated from the German of Kalms and Untellberger (3 vols., 1770).
