1814. &r. 61.] COUNT EUMFOED. 113 



I give to Sir Humphry Davy, Knight, Professor of 

 Chemistry in the Royal Institution of Great Britain, my 

 plain gold watch, as a token of my esteem. 



Madame de Eumford gave up her interest in the 

 lease of the Count's house at Brompton to his daughter, 

 who went to London in May 1815 and lived there for 

 twenty years, during which period she returned to 

 Paris for three years. In 1835 she went to America, 

 and then she returned to Paris until 1844, when she 

 revisited America. In the room in which she was 

 born she died, when seventy-eight years of age, 

 December 21, 1852. She left her property chiefly to 

 form the Rolfe and Rumford Asylum for the Poor and 

 Needy at Concord. 



The memory of Count Rumford is preserved in 

 Munich by a stone monument in the English Grarden, 

 erected by public subscription in 1795, and by a bronze 

 statue placed in 1867 by the present King in the finest 

 street in the city. 



In Paris a street once bore his name, and his grave- 

 stone in the cemetery at Auteuil is the only material 

 mark of his residence in France. 



In America the Rumford medals which he founded, 

 and the institutions he originated, form his enduring 

 monuments. 



In England the highest scientific reward which the 

 Royal Society can bestow, and the place where the 

 greatest scientific discoveries of this century have been 

 made, should both in gratitude be inseparably united 

 with the name of Rumford.
