- To my 21st century mind, the following is difficult to read:

Gabrielle Émilie Le Tonnelier de I,reteuil, marquise du Châtelet (1706—1749), was the daughter of the baron de Breteuil, and married the marquis du ,Châtelet-Lomont in 1725. She was an accomplished linguist, musician and mathematician, and deeply interested in metaphysics. When she first became intimate with Voltaire she was practically separated from her husband, though he occasionally visited Cirey. She is only important from her connexion with Voltaire, though an attempt has been made to treat her as an original thinker; sec F. Hamel, An Eighteenth Century Marquise (1910).
