Excerpt from Journal Et Mémoires de Mathieu Marais, Avocat au Parlement de Paris, sur la Régence Et le Règne de Louis XV (1715-1737), Vol. 1: Publiés pour la Première Fois d'Après le Manuscrit de la Bibliothèque Impériale
Le 1 février 1737 un vieil avocat au parlement de Paris, courbé sur la table de travail de son grand cabinet d'étude, éclairé des dernières lueurs du jour, traçait, d'une main alourdie par l'âge et la maladie, une de ces lettres d'adieu, pleines d'une familière éloquence et d'une philosophie chrétienne, une de ces lettres testamentaires à la fois tristes et résignées, comme en savaient écrire, avant de mourir, à leurs amis, les honnêtes gens d'au trefois.
