IX (1801)-1803.
2 vol. 4to. No copy of the quarto edition was located for collation. The complete work was in 4 volumes, 1801-1806. From the
letters of David Bailie Warden quoted below, which show also that Jefferson’s copy was sent to him unbound, and from the
entry in the 1815 catalogue, as above--the death of Robespierre occurs at the end of vol. IV--it is clear that Jefferson’s
copy was complete, and that he had it bound in 2 volumes.

Jefferson obtained his copy in 1815 from Paris through David Bailie Warden.
On November 1, 1812, Warden wrote to Jefferson from Paris (received at Monticello September 14, 1813): “By the
Hornet, I forwarded Toulongeons’ Work, some brochures, and a Box of garden-seeds, from the Garden of Plants . . .”
The postscript of a letter from Warden to Jefferson, written on April 1, 1813 (received September 17) reads: “P. S. Having ascertained that the Captain of the
Hornet left several trunks and cases, at Strasburg,
[
sic
] which he refused to take on board, belonging to the Philadelphia Society &c. and learning that the copy of Toulongeons’ work
to be forwarded by this opportunity was left at Cherburg, I send, by Mr. Hasler another copy. The author died lately--much
regretted--the sudden departure of Mr. Hasler does not allow me time to have it bound.”
On December 29, 1813, Jefferson wrote from Monticello to Warden, in Paris: “
I need much of your indulgence for the want of punctuality in acknoleging the reciept of your several favors . . . the copy
of Toulongeon, mentioned in the letter of Nov. 1. 13. to have been sent by the Hornet, was not recieved . . . D
r. Stevens forwarded safely the Codes de France, and m
(
~r)
Hasler the second copy of Toulongeon you were so kind as to send, as mentioned in your letter of last April . . . on the
observation, in your last, that time had not permitted you to have Toulongeon bound, permit me to pray the omission of that
circumstance on your favors, not only as unnecessarily increasing the burthen on you, but as they come lighter & safer by
the mail when unbound . . .
