Charles-Pierre Chais

With François Fagel (1659–1746), he saw that Geneva was included in the Treaty of Vienna (1738), at the end of the War of the Polish Succession.

Again, in the War of the Austrian Succession, he had the help of Fagel in heading off a Spanish army, that was threatening Geneva in September 1742.

[7] From 1742, Chais published volumes of a French Bible commentary, La Sainte Bible, ou le vieux et le nouveau testament avec un commentaire littéral composé de notes choisies et tirées de divers auteurs anglois.

[11] Chais translated as Les mœurs anglais (1758) John Brown's Estimate of the Manners and Principles of the Times (1757).

[1] Their daughter Esther Wilhelmina Chais (1736–1789), married Archibald Maclaine, minister at the English Church in The Hague, in 1758.
