He has been president of the Archaeological Society of Touraine for some time, and he takes pleasure in reading the publications of the 'Institut historique', received by the Society.

Both items 4to, 1 p. Both on creased paper with closed tears neatly repaired on reverse with archival tape.

'Le cliché de la 1r page, qui sert à frontispiece, a été renvoyé à M.

Giraud knows Burnet very well, 'et je lui porte un interet particulier'.

8vo, 1 p. On discoloured paper, worn at head and foot. The only merit of the material he is sending is that it has been inspired by 'des sentiments vrais'. He took it to 'S. A. le prince Lieutenant général du royaume', and part of it had 'du prix à ses yeux'.
