Original Text:
LE MEMBRE DE TOUTES LES ACADÉMIES.
Diable de discours; impossible de retenir..... ah! j'y suis, Messieurs, c'est avec émotion que je viens donner à l'Europe des preuves d'un savoir....... qui pourrait être plus étendu.... mais si je n'en sais pas davantage c'est par modestie! La séance d'aujourd'hui sera consacrée aux bouchons de liège..... cette question si futile au point de vue ordinaire; et si intéressante pour l'humanité; nous examinerons ensuite l'influence des pains à cacheter sur la littérature..... j'aurai ensuite l'honneur de vous faire entendre un rapport lumineux sur les allumettes chimiques (Séance du 20 Janvier 1842).


Translation:
A MEMBER OF ALL ACADEMIES.
Blasted speech; impossible to remember it all... ah, there we are.... Gentlemen, it is with great emotion that I am able to present to Europe the findings of a scientist... who else would have such an abundance of knowledge at his fingertips! And in case I don't know something, it is out of pure modesty. Our session today will be focused on the cork; while from an ordinary point of view, this may seem to be a futile topic, but it is of great interest for humanity. After that we shall examine the influence of the wafer on literature in general.... finally I will have the honour presenting to you an illuminated report on chemical matches. (Session of January 20, 1842)
