Politics
Le Doulcet was a moderate supporter of the revolution. He voted for the imprisonment of Louis XVI during the war, and his banishment after tne peace. He had refused to defend his compatriot Charlotte Corday, who wrote him a letter of reproach on her way to the scaffold. He then attached himself to the party of the Gironde and showed an unusual spirit of moderation by defending Prieur de la Marne and Robert Lindet.
Connections
His son Louis Adolphe Le Doulcet, comte de Pontecoulant (1794 - 1882), served under Napoleon in 1812 and 1814, and then emigrated to Brazil, where he took part in the abortive insurrection at Pernambuco in 1817. He also organized a French volunteer contingent in the Belgian revolution of 1830, and was wounded at Louvain. The rest of his life was spent in Paris in the study of ancient music and acoustics. Among his works was one on the Musee instrumental du conservatoire de musique (1864).
A younger brother, Philippe Gustave Le Doulcet, comte de Pontecoulant (1795 - 1874), served in the army until 1849, when he retired to devote himself to mathematics and astronomy. His works include Theorie analytique du systeme du monde (Paris, 1829 - 1846) and Traite elementaire de physiqtte celeste (2 vols. , Paris, 1840).
