Janssen on behalf of the Académie "Messieurs I cannot yet, I confess, persuade myself that it is the remains of my beloved Breguet that lie here in this coffin... But Messieurs, the regrets we feel at the loss of this great artist must not make us forget the tribute we owe him for the services he rendered to science and its highest applications...".
