Sent to Jefferson by the author, who wrote from Paris May 17, 1801 (received by Jefferson on July 15): “Daignez accepter quelques exemplaires du parallele de bonaparte avec charlemagne. L’amour de la vérité, et du bien public
m’ont dicté cet ouvrage . . .”

Jean Chas, c. 1750-c. 1830, French jurisconsult and author. Other works by him have appeared in this catalogue.
The date of the letter to Jefferson quoted above suggests the date for this pamphlet, undated or wrongly dated by the bibliographers.
Barbier dates the tract 1802. A second edition in 1803 has the author’s name on the title-page.
