[27] M. Lenoir, at the time of the publication of his work, was the keeper of the _Musée des petits Augustins_, in Paris. [28] _Annales archéologiques de Didron_, 1846. _p._ 12. [29] _Lettres d’Abailard et d’Héloïse traduite sur les manuscrits de la Bibliothèque Royale par E. Oddoul, avec une préface par Monsieur Guizot Paris 1839, gr. in 8ᵒ, gravures._ [30] It was taken down 1861 and a plaister statue of Tell erected in its place. [31] _L’illustre Châtelaine des environs de Vaucluse; dissertation et examen critique de la Laure de Pétrarque._ Paris 1842, in 8ᵛᵒ. [32] As already stated, a large tablet was carried before her on which her alleged crimes were inscribed. [33] Namely: _Mémoire tiré des archives de Chateaubriand par feu le Président Ferrand_. [34] Mignet, Amédée Pichot, and W. Stirling. M. Gachard has rather given the rein, we believe, to his imagination, and adopts the legend of the funeral obsequies. We shall see how triumphantly M. Mignet rebuts it. [35] It was the Venetian, Frederic Badouaro, who conceived the comical idea of representing Giovanni Torriano as a simple clockmaker. Cardanus, in book XVII. of his work _De Artibus_, mentions a wonderful piece of mechanism constructed by Torriano. [36] Henry Coiffier de Ruzé d’Effiat, Marquis de Cinq-Mars, beheaded at Lyons in 1642 by order of Richelieu. He was secretly married to Marion Delorme. [37] The author of this letter adds in a note: “The Marquis of Worcester, who is considered by the English to be the inventor of the steam-engine, appropriated to himself the discovery of Salomon de Caus and inserted it in a book entitled _Century of Inventions_, published in 1663.” [38] Some very interesting details on Salomon de Caus and on the honourable appointments he held until his death may be found in a work of M. L. Dussieux: _Les Artistes Français à l’Étranger_, Paris 1856. [39] Only a very few of the innumerable Histories and Biographies of Charles V. will be mentioned here.
