Entered in Jefferson’s undated manuscript catalogue, with the price,

Adrien Baillet, 1649-1706, French author, was born in the village of La Neuville, whence he took his
nom de guerre. The first edition of this work was published in 1693. This book is usually bound in two volumes, hence the red and black
title pages in vol. I and III. Jefferson’s copy was evidently in four volumes.

On January 16, 1788, Jefferson wrote from Paris to
Stockdale, adding to a previous order two books, of which the second was “
The history of the internal affairs of Holland since 1783. printed also by Robinson if I recollect rightly. send them in boards
. . .
”
Jefferson’s entry in both his manuscript catalogues dates the book 1788. The imprint is dated 1787, and the book was printed between June and December in that year; it was not
reprinted in 1788. The 1815 catalogue repeats Jefferson’s entry, but the mistake is corrected in the later Library of Congress
catalogues, which give 1787 as the date but catalogue the book under
Johnson as the author. In his order to Stockdale, Jefferson mentions no author, and in view of his treatment of proper names it is
not out of order to suggest that by
Johnson he meant
Robinson. The book is listed without an author’s name in the London Catalogue of books.
Several references to America occur in the book.
