Frédéric started to study literature at the university of Leiden, however later changed to study medicine. In 1760 he joined the Dutch marine as a ship's doctor. During his time at the marine he visited among other places Suriname and Guyana. In 1769, he married Adriana van Guericke in Brielle. [3] Afterwards he became doctor at Catherine the Great's court in St. Petersburg. In 1793 he returned to Leiden to work at the university.
