Jefferson’s opinion of this book is expressed in a letter to Jean Chas, written on December 7, 1786. For unreliability he
classed this work with that of Hilliard D’Auberteuil, and stated that where there is no other authority for a fact than these
two histories, “
it will not be safe to hazard it.” See Hilliard D’Auberteuil, no. 450.
A copy of this work is listed on Jefferson’s undated manuscript catalogue with the price,

Pierre Charpentier de Longchamps, 1740-1812, soi-disant
honorifique d’Abbé, of the Academie de La Rochelle, issued this book anonymously; his name appears in full on the title of the third edition,
