Des administrations provinciales, mémoire présenté au Roi, par feu M. Turgot . . . A

On the half-title Jefferson has written:
formed by M. Dupont on the rough draughts and notes of M. Turgot.
The edition should contain also the

[Brissot de Warville] not found in this copy, in which the last page has the catchword
Observations.

2-8, O

This is evidently taken from a larger work. See the
Oeuvres
, vol. ix, where it is printed (with a more correct text; in this copy for example Francklin is so spelled) and without the
notes to be found in this edition.
Dupont mentioned this letter when sending the ninth volume of the Oeuvres to Jefferson, July 4, 1811: “Voici le dernier volume des Oeuvres de M
r. Turgot. Vous y verrais parcequ’il ecrivait au docteur Price et au sage Franklin combien il aimait votre Patrie . . .”
