392 MEMOIR OP HAUT. 



He died the 3d of June, 1822, at seventy-nine years of age, leaving 

 his family but one legacy — a magnificent one, it is true — in that pre- 

 cious collection of crystals of every variety, which the contributions of 

 all Europe, during twenty years, had enhanced to a degree of which 

 there is no equal. 



He was succeeded in each of his places by one of his own pupils ; by 

 Brongniart at the Museum of Natural History, Beudant in the Faculty 

 of the Sciences, and Cordier in this Academy. It may be added, indeed, 

 by way of worthily closing this account of his life and labors, that it 

 would be difficult to find in Europe, at this day, a mineralogist worthy 

 of the name, who, if not actually a pupil of Haiiy, may not be consid- 

 ered^such by the assiduous study of his works and his discoveries.
