Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Death notice for Benjamin Franklin. Reads as follows:

DISCOURS

DU COMTE DE MIRABEAU,

Dans la séance de ce matin 11 Juin.

SUR LA MORT

DE BENJAMIN FRANKLIN.

Messieurs,

Franklin est mort.... Il est retourné au sein de la Divinité, le génie qui affranchit l'Amérique et versa sur l'Europe des torrens de lumière.

Le Sage que deux mondes reclament ; l'homme que se disputent l'histoire des sciences et l'histoire des empires, tenoit sans doute un rang élevé dans l'espèce humaine.
Français : Discours du Comte de Mirabeau au cours de la séance du 11 juin 1790 sur la mort de Benjamin Franklin
