Angelica introduces the Duke de Lioncourt, who is fleeing France for asylum in America. She describes him as a man who loves liberty with little sense and moderation. She claims that he introduced a better system of agriculture and bettered the lives of the lower class but has not got his reward, and with the "distress that has afflicted his unfortunate country, he like many more good men have been obliged to leave his possessions, and seek our Asylum in this country"
