Louis-François Metra
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 Correspondance littéraire secrète 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 Koln in 1780.
