Summary

Collection of lectures given by Aymé Bertin before the Académie des sciences, belles-lettres et arts de Lyon, additional essays by Bertin, and a response given before the Académie by Annibal Claret in 1752 in place of Bertin, who had recently died. Subjects of lectures include ancient and canon law, lives of Papinien and Democritus, and the history of the French language; subjects of essays are predominantly geometry and mathematics. A preface following the title page seems to have been added after the volume was compiled and added to as late as 1777. A table of contents follows the preface.
