He signed other barometers of the period, including one of about 1770 in the Metropolitan Museum, where the dial reads: LANGE DE BOURBON, FAISEUR DE BAROMETRE DU ROY.1The thermometer is on the Réaumer scale (where water freezes at 0° and boils at 80°), which prevailed in France in the second half of the eighteenth century. The dates on the dial record several extremes of temperature in Paris, from a high of 32° Re in 1753 to a low of -15° Re in 1709. Three other cities are included for their low temperatures: Astrakhan, "Petersbour" (modern day Saint Petersburg), and "Kebec" (Quebec), which reached -33 Re in 1743. The latest date on the dial is 1754. Among other such inscriptions are "Chaleur d'un Malade" and "Chaleur de Versoies" (indicating the temperature at which silkworms were raised).

The movement of this example was the work of such an English ex-patriot working in Amsterdam, Ahaseurus II Fromanteel (London has mistakenly been added to the dial). The maker of the case, which follows English prototypes, has not been identified but the exuberant acanthus scroll cresting with eagles perched at the corners is distinctly Dutch..

The austerity and concentration on the inherent beauty of the honey-colored mahogany would have been appealing to the Shaker community in Canterbury, only 15 miles from the makers workshop. While not a practicing Shaker, Hutchins visited the Canterbury Shaker village and was inspired by their technical and agricultural innovation, which he recorded in his memoir: I have seen a wonderful invention,a machine for planting onion, beet, and carrot seeds."
