GEORGE REMARKABLE PERSONS. 285 JOHN JAMES HEIDEGGER was the son of aclergyman, and a native of Zurich, in Switzerland,where he married, but left his country in consequenceof an intrigue ; and, having visited the principal citiesof Europe, in the humble station of a domestic, ac-quired a taste for elegant and refined pleasures, which,united to a strong inclination for voluptuousness, bydegrees qualified him for the management of publicamusements.
