Wikipedia description:
Nicolas Boindin (29 May 1676 – 30 November 1751) was an 18th-century French writer and playwright. Boindin was one of a circle of wits which included J. B. Rousseau, La Motte, Fontenelle, Saurin, the Abbé Terrasson, and Hénault. He became a member of the Académie des Inscriptions et Belles-Lettres in 1706, and was an habitué of the Café Procope. His atheist views were so notorious that Fleury later barred him from the Académie Française.
