and work of Diderot. (N.)
[3] Antoine de Ricouart, count of Hérouville, born in Paris in 1713, is the
author of Treatise on the Legions, which carries the name of the marshal of
Saxony [4], Paris, 1757. He furnished the authors of the Encyclopédie with
some curious dissertations. It was hoped that they be sent to the minister
under Louis XV, but an unequal marriage excluded it. He died in 1782. (BR.)
[4] Only in the first three editions. The work had been first printed on a
copy communicated to the marshal and was found in his papers.
[5] Montucla was only thirty years old when he published his History of
Mathematics, Paris, 1758. It was reviewed and finished by Lalande, Paris,
1799-1802. (Br.)
[6] See t. 1, p. 399.
[7] Le Camus (Antoine), who left behind other memories of charity.
We owe to him a large number of works of literature and of medicine. We will
here cite only: The Medicine of the Mind, Paris, 1753. Strategy for Wiping
Out Smallpox, 1767. Practical Medicine Made Simpler, More Reliable and More
Methodical, 1769. Numerous memoirs on different subjects of medicine.
Abdéker, or the Art of Conserving Beauty, 1754-1756. Love and Friendship,
comedy, 1763. The Pastoral Romance of Daphnis and Chloe, translated from
Longus´ Greek by Amyot, with a double translation, Paris, 1757. This new
translation by Le Camus is still worth reading after the one just published
by M. Courier in Sainte-Pélagie, where he was detained for a work
commissioned by the estate of Chambord. Paris, 1821. (BR.)
[8] Gardeil died on April 19, 1808, at the age of 82. We have from him a
Translation of Hippocrates´ Medical Works, from the Greek text according to
the Foës edition, Toulouse, 1801. (Br.)--He Practiced in Montpellier.
