DR. DUPUYTREN'S WILL.

In 1834, Dr. Dupuytren made a will, of which the fel;
lowing is a remarkable extract :—" This is my will. I Waer
horn in 1777—50 lam now in my 57th year. 1-lowe'.,,
the pains under which I suffer, and which are not the
suit of any excess—unless it be excess of labour---C"
make me feel the necessity of disposing of everything 4
possess. All lam about to bequeath is the produce,uo
my labour—purely honest labour—which can give rise
no indeas but those of the value of order and perseveranea
free from parsimony. These ideas I strongly recommell,
to my dear children, the Count de Beaumont, and 0,n3j,,
dear little Adeline Dupuytren, as well as to the obi ea
born and to be born from them, for order and persever!nee
constitute a great power. I declare them (the Count and
Adeline) to be my universal leatees : I Cave each of the-'
at the time of their marriage, as portion of one million forteg_
producing each 50,000 francs income ; I now bequeath tau'
each two millions more, to be derived from my person
property. I think they would do well to expend ley
money in the purchase of patrimonial estates, and as L"
havee children now, and heaven still promises to bless the"',,
with more, I would advise them, if they wish to keep
the noble name of Beaumont, which they
at present repre,
sent, never to spend more than one half of their inclecl
and to form a reserve fund with the other half sa;lie
annually." After leaving considerable legacies to Puj„
institutions and men of science, the Doctor says'
recommend to my heirs my faithful, devoted, and a 0
telligent servant, named Gillies, to whom I leave his
annuity of 1,000 francs," and he thus concludes Mr.
will :---" I cannot offer anything flattering to it
Rothschild, unless, perhaps, it be a mark of confidence'
consequent!y, appoint him my testamentary executor'
leave my body to Messrs. Broussais and Cruveilher tO
opened by them, if they think proper."
