Voltaire opens by begging Dr. Maty to accept his respects. He then proposes abbé Coyer as a member of the Royal Society. He writes that Coyer is known for several highly esteemed works that will repair the harm that his own inadequacy causes such an illustrious society, but adds that Coyer will not be more devoted to it than he is.
