SAÔNE-ET-LOIRE. MÂCON January 8, 1807. Letter signed "Le Secrétaire de la Société des Sciences, Arts et Belles-Lettres de la Ville de MÂCON." (Printed heading). To Mr DE BROSSI in Joyeuse (Ardèche). 3pp in-4°: "One of the most fervent wishes of the people who saw you during your short stay in Mâcon and who belong to the Société des Sciences was to count you among their colleagues. They hastened to present you as a Correspondent, and the Society was no less eager to award you this title... Your work must have put you in possession of public esteem, but if you can consider yourself honored to belong to a new Association, which is unknown, You will perhaps be satisfied to concur in illustrating it, and to urge you to share with it some of your work... I send you a copy of the account of our first works."
