Unfortunately Jefferson’s copy of this work is no longer extant. It was among the books lent by him to Abiel Holmes as source
material for the
American Annals
, but owing to unavoidable delays was not sent until after the publication of the first edition, 1805. It was therefore used
by Holmes with acknowledgments to Jefferson in the second edition, 1829. For a full account of this and the correspondence
between Jefferson and Holmes concerning these
Mémoires (which were duly returned to Jefferson in 1808) see no. 444.
Entered on the undated manuscript catalogue, with the price,
18.0.
The compilation was the work of three authors:
Etienne de Silhouette, 1709-1765, French author and financier, who has given to the language the common noun
silhouette.

J. Ignace de la Ville, d. 1774, French abbé and ex-jesuit, was for a time secretary to the Marquis de Fénélon.
