Jean Baptiste Michel Saladin, d. 1813, député from la Somme in the Legislative, the Convention and in the Cinq-Cents, was an advocate and judge at Amiens. He voted the death of Louix XVI sans sursis ni appel, but later joined the Girondin party. As a Girondin he made this report for the commission des vingt-et-uns, elected on December 26, 1794, to enquire into the conduct of the members of the Salut public and the sûreté général. The report, presented on March 2, 1795, was counter-revolutionary and Saladin was proscribed as a royalist. He returned to Amiens where he died in 1813.

Presentation copy from the author, with his autograph inscription on the half-title: The Author to M r. Jefferson by M r. Adams’s Chanal .
On April 4, 1794, John Adams wrote from Philadelphia to Jefferson: “The inclosed Volume was lately sent in to me by a Servant. I have since heard that the Author of it is in New York. The Book exhibits a curious Picture of the Government of Berne and is well worth reading.”
Jefferson replied from Monticello on April 25: “ I am to thank you for the book you were so good as to transmit me . . . The case of the Pays de Vaud is new to me. The claims of both parties are on grounds which I fancy we have taught the world to set little store by. The rights of one generation will scarcely be considered hereafter as depending on the paper transactions of another. ””
