Louis-François Metra Explained
Louis-François Metra[1] (1738 – 11 December 1804) was an 18th-century French journalist.
Banker and correspondent of Prussian king Frederick the Great, Metra mismanaged his business and took refuge in Neuwied, where he printed his weekly review for which he is mostly known. The French journalist De Beaunoir also wrote for the review.
Metra also collaborated with Nouvelliste politique d’Allemagne published in Cologne in 1780.
