to Madison in a letter dated from Paris, August 2, 1787, containing also his bill for books bought on Madison’s behalf: “
. . . the Memoires sur les droits et impositions en Europe (cited by Smith) was a scarce & excessively dear book. they are
now reprinting it. I think it will be in three or four quartos of from 9. to 12 fr. a volume. when it is finished I shall
take a copy for you . . .
