Bouillon, that lady bellowed on him a liberal education- 
After he had- gone through the preparatory ftudies, he 
embraced the ecclefiaftical life, and through the intereft 
of his patronefs was prefented to feveral benefices. He 
had alfo the honour of accompanying her in her travels 
through Italy, England, and other countries, which af¬ 
forded him an extenfive field for obfervation and im¬ 
provement. He had a particular tafte for clock-work, 
in which art he made feveral difcoveries that were of 
lingular ufe. He was the firft who invented the method 
of moderating the vibration of the balance in watches 
by means of a fteel fpring. This difcovery lie commu¬ 
nicated to the Royal Academy of Sciences in Paris, in 
1674; and the watches into which it is introduced are 
called, by way of eminence, pendulum-watches ; becaufe 
they nearly approach to the juftriefs of pendulums. This 
invention was perfected by M. Huygens: but as that 
mathematician claimed the merit of the original difco¬ 
very, and had obtained from Louis XIV. a patent for 
the construction of watches with fpiral fprings, the abbe 
Hautefeuille oppofed the regifteringof that privilege, and 
publiflied his objections againft M. Huygens in 1675. He 
afterwards publifhed a variety of other treatifes, 1110ft of 
which abound in ufeful obfervations, and ingenious hints. 
He died at Orleans-jn 1734, aged feventy-feveii years. He
