Excerpt from Henry Wheaton, an Appreciation: Being the Address Delivered Before the Alumni of Brown University on the Occasion of the One Hundredth Anniversary of His Graduation, June Seventeen, 1402 At Poitiers he made good use of his time, for in addition to acquiring a respectable conversational acquaintance with the language he made a translation of the new French Code, and was only prevented fi'om publishing it by the accidental destruction of the manuscript.
