MS (DLC: TJ Papers, 146:25346); undated, but all of the books were either acquired by TJ in 1804 or published in that year; entirely in TJ’s hand, including, on verso, partially blotted, “Galerie des.”
Plans des maisons: the invoice with prices is apparently a draft version of the statement appended to TJ to Philippe Reibelt, 24 Dec.
Giovanni Fabbroni enclosed his work Dei provvidimenti annonari in a letter of 1 Oct. It is uncertain from whom TJ obtained An Inquiry into the Nature and Origin of Public Wealth by James Maitland, the eighth earl of Lauderdale ( No. 3554). Nathaniel Chapman sent the president a copy of Henry Peter Brougham’s Inquiry into the Colonial Policy of the European Powers in a letter of 6 June. On 16 Nov., John Vaughan enclosed the account of David Woodard’s captivity among the Malays. Nicolas Gouin Dufief enclosed his Nature Displayed, in Her Mode of Teaching Language to Man in a letter of 27 Sep., and Charles Smith sent TJ his translation of Johann Gottlieb Burkhard’s Elementary or Fundamental Principles of the Philosophy of Natural History on 20 Oct. It is uncertain from whom the president obtained the French civil code or the work by John Philpot Curran, Forensic Eloquence: Sketches of Trials in Ireland for High Treason, which was published in Baltimore in 1804 ( Nos. 2217, 4678).
