Dans ce 'Traité de mécanique' il utilisa plusieurs essais mathématiques de Legendre. "L'élève dans sa modestie ne voulut pas être nommé. Mais Marie se fit un devoir et un honneur de signaler à l'attention des hommes de science les passages sortis de la plume du jeune Legendre alors âgé de 22 ans." (Elie de Beaumont).
