Abbé Gabriel Bonnot de Mably, 1709-1785. For an account of Mably and his concepts, see Seligman
ix, 644 and Palgrave
ii, 655. Jefferson owned all his works, of which some were bought from Froullé during his residence in France. He bought copies
also for others. In a letter to Madison, dated from Paris on August 2, 1787, Jefferson mentioned: “
you have now Mably’s works complete except that on Poland, which I have never been able to get, but shall not cease to search
for . . .
