Maurice Margarot
Maurice Margarot (1745–1815) is most notable for being one of the founding members of the London Corresponding Society, a radical society demanding parliamentary reform in the late eighteenth century.
==Early life==
Maurice Margarot was the son of a wine and general merchant. Born in 1745, he was educated at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Maurice and his Father were both involved in a campaign to free John Wilkes from prison in 1769. Maurice would follow his father into business as well as political interest. Maurice was living in France during the French Revolution in 1780 and had acquaintances among the revolutionary leaders. Maurice was inspired (as well as further radicalized) by the French people and the revolution, and returned to England in 1792 to quickly join the London Corresponding Society to further the cause of reform.
He followed Thomas Hardy into the newly established London Corresponding Society in January 1792, and was subsequently elected as its chairman in May 1792. Margarot's signature, along with Hardy's, were present on all the early publications by the London Corresponding Society, and this continued for several years. The publications would push for fiscal and electroal reform as well as shorter parliaments.
In November 1793, Margarot and Joseph Gerrald were chosen to attend the Edinburgh Convention organized by the Friends of the People Society - ostensibly a meeting for reformers, but seen as a threat and an attempt to establish an illegal government by William Pitt the Younger's ministry at the time. Margarot and Gerrald stood out during the debate and the authority selected them to be charged with sedition.
