1st. The heart of the late king, after having been washed and macerated for four or five hours in an alcoholic solution of the deuto-chloride of mercury or corrosive sublimate, and having been filled and surrounded with choice aromatics, was enclosed in a leaden box, bearing an inscription indicative of the precious object which it contained. 2d. The viscera of the three great cavities of the body, after having been incised, washed, and macerated six hours in the above-named solution, were penetrated, filled, and surrounded with aromatics, and enclosed in a leaden barrel, bearing an inscription indicative of the parts it contained. 3d. The totality of the surface of the body, and the surfaces of the great cavities, were successively washed with a solution of the chloride of the oxide of sodium, and with the alcoholic solution of the deuto-chloride of mercury. 4th. The fleshy parts, as well of the trunk as of the limbs, were extensively and deeply incised, and afterwards washed with the above named solutions. 5th. The surfaces of the body, of the cavities, and of the incisions, were supplied with several applications of spirit varnish. 6th. All the cavities were filled with powders, formed of various species of aromatics and resins. 7th. These cavities were closed by bringing their borders together, sustained by numerous sutures. 8th. The limbs, the pelvis, the abdomen, the chest, the neck, and the head, were successively surrounded with bandages, methodically applied. 9th. The whole surface of the body thus enveloped, was covered with many layers of varnish. 10th. Upon this varnish were applied bandages of gum diachilon. 11th. Over the bandages of diachilon, other bandages of varnished taffeta were applied. 12th. Finally, a last layer of bandages was applied over the varnished taffeta. 13th. The embalming terminated, the head of the late king was covered with a cap, his body with a chemise, his arms and breast with a vest, with sleeves made of white silk; the whole with a sheet of batiste. It was in this state that the body of the king was returned to M. Brèzè, to be deposited in the coffin which was to enclose his mortal remains at Saint Dennis.

Here the process followed, although analogous in many respects to the preceding, differs from them, however, in the addition of numerous drugs, and in the rapidity of the preparation; the following nearly, in all respects, the same, will furnish matter for reflection. _Fifth and last fact, (E.)
