Translation
Concept of a comfortable menagir [?] stove, in the shape of a tomb adorned with a suit of armour, that can be heated from outside the room as well as from inside the chamber, and can, thanks to its shape, give off much heat, when the internal structure is duly observed after the instructions I gave in 1728.
