for Thomas Jefferson Esquire Monticello, by David Baillie Warden.
This and the book next following were sent to Jefferson from Paris in January 1813 by David Baillie Warden.
As early as 1808 Warden had sent some part of the Criminal Code. On November 24 he wrote: “. . . I inclose the two first parts of the Criminal Code: the remainder, consisting of two hundred pages, or more, is sent
to the Emperor for his approbation. Almost every thing contained in the address is adopted . . .”
On April 1, 1813, he wrote: “on the 21st of January last, I had the honor of writing to you by Doctor Stephens, and of sending, for your acceptance, a
copy of the civil, penal, and criminal codes of France . . .”
Dr. Alexander H. Stevens delivered the books in August, and on the 23d of that month Jefferson wrote to him: “
Th: Jefferson presents his compliments to m(
~
r)
Alexander H. Stevens, acknoleges the reciept of the 2 vol(
~
s)
of the Code Criminel & du Commerce . . .”
Jefferson acknowledged the receipt of the books to Warden in a letter dated December 29, 1813: “
. . . D
r. Stevens forwarded safely the Codes de France . . .
”
