Jean Louis L'Estocq
Referred to by Boswell only as "L'estocq", the editors of Boswell on the Grand Tour I identifies him as a Jean Louis L'Estocq.
According to Boswell, he was formerly (i.e. before September 1764) tutor to the princes of Anhalt-Dessau, probably Albrecht, and Johann George and possibly even to the then reigning Prince Leopold III.
Boswell had some conversation with L'Estocq at the Court of Dessau on September 26, 1764.
Unless otherwise noted, the source for a dated quotation of Boswell's is generally the corresponding volume of the Yale Trade Editions of Boswell's journals.
