In
Memoirs of Thomas Jefferson, by S. C. Carpenter, II, 131, this work is ascribed to Duane. After a most unflattering account of Duane, the author writes:
. . . His very first essay in America was a letter to General Washington, under the fictitious signature of Jasper Dwight--a
production which, for the depravity of the heart that could dictate it, for insolence of temper and scurrility of language,
stands unsurpassed even in the multitudinous effusions of turpitude which have long conferred such ignominious distinction
on the press of the Aurora. This outrage upon Washington was the first thing which afforded the author a claim upon Mr. Jefferson’s
particular kindness, and marked him out as a proper object of that gentleman’s patronage and protection . . .

This heading in Jefferson’s manuscript catalogue includes the following seven entries from the 1815 Catalogue. Many of the
volumes have been rebound with a different arrangement of the tracts:
1. 1815 Catalogue, page 101. no. 272, Pamphlets, American, 1797, 8vo.
This volume of pamphlets was apparently not delivered to Congress in 1815. It is not checked as having been received in the
working copy of the 1815 Library of Congress Catalogue, and is on the list of books missing from the Congressional Library
made at a later date. It is possible however that the contents have been transferred to some of the rebound volumes included
under Jefferson’s general heading.
J. 2. 1815 Catalogue, page 102. no. 284, Political American, 1791-1802, 8vo.
Seven tracts bound together in one volume, 8vo., half calf, labels on the back lettered Political / Pamphlets. / Vol. 98.
/ With the Library of Congress 1815 bookplate. The tracts numbered serially in ink on the titles or first leaves.
A list of the contents in ink on the fly-leaf is not by Jefferson.
