It reads: "Les derniers honneurs rendus a Berryer l'illustre avocat mort le 29 Novembre ont ete l'evenement des premiers jours de ce mois. - A ses funerailles dignes de sa vie et de sa fin; on a feté les plus belles choses de ce mond la probité le getenie la foi! - Le corps est reste entre les anciennes demeures de Malesherbes et de Mirabeau Le portrait de Mr. Berryer est partout: vus devez l'avoir en qualite de Francais!
