During a visit to Paris in 1784, he wrote a letter to the editors of the Journal de Paris calling for a tax on every Parisian whose windows were closed after sunrise to “encourage the economy of using the sun at place of candles, ”according to Michael Downing, author of Spring Forward: The Annual Madness of Daylight Saving Time.
