during the year 1829-30. 97 



I have now finished my task, gentlemen; and in begging- 

 you still to give me your attention for a few moments, I shall 

 employ that favour in call* g to your r remembrance the distin- 

 guished members we have" lost during the course of the past 

 year; and, first, I shall mention the name of Baron Fourrier, 

 perpetual secretary of the Academy of Sciences, whose eulogy 

 has been pronounced by our honourable colleagues, MM. Girard 

 and Jomard. Count d'Hauterivc, after having so long pursued 

 | a diplomatic career, died the day after that on which the cala- 

 mitous ordinances plunged our fine country in- a kind of stupor, 

 soon, however, to be substituted for a terrible reveille ! I shall 

 add to these two names, illustrious in the sciences and in 

 public affairs, that of a good man, of a wise and moderate ad- 

 ministrator, who knew how to govern an ardent population, — I 

 speak of M. lo Comte de Villeneuve, who died prefect of 

 Bouches-du-Rh6ne, after an administration of fifteen years.
