"The corpse of the late Duc de Choiseul was, according to custom, presented to the parish church of St. Eustache, and afterwards carried to his seat at Chanteloup, where he is to be buried, at his own request, in a particular spot of his park: where he has ordered a male cypress to be planted, and another of the female kind, when the last tribute to nature is paid by his surviving consort, whose remains are to be laid next to his own. It is said that his Grace died of a peripneumony, and the fault is publicly laid to the charge of his physician, who would not condescend to be guided by the opinion of Mr. Barthes. But what cares death for doctors and their drugs, when the glass is out?"
