Transcription
De Seytres came across the figure of a stone, or calculi, the likes of which he has never seen. He consulted several anatomists and none of them could explain it to him. De Seytres discusses the stone in detail. Joseph de Seytres, Marquis de Caumont (1688-1745) was a collector of books, manuscripts, medals, and antiquities. He corresponded with Voltaire and contributed to the Journal de Trévoux. He was elected a Member of l’Académie des inscriptions in 1736, a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1740, and a Member of l’Académie des Arcades de Rome in 1743 (http://data.bnf.fr/11895598/joseph_de_seytres_caumont/).
