la dépouille mortelle de
Madame Marie Anne Pierrette Paulze
LAVOISIER
Comtesse de Rumford,
Née à Montbrison le 20 Janvier 1758,
Décédée à Paris le 10 Février 1836.
Par son esprit et ses lumières, elle fut digne des
deux illustres savans aux quels elle unit son sort.
Elle partagea les travaux et la science de Lavoisier,
l'amour de l'humanité qui animait Rumford.
La mort la surprit au milieu d'amis illustres
dont elle était le lien, et qui pleureront long-temps sa mémoire.
