Jefferson purchased a copy from
P. & C. Roche, Philadelphia, in 1807.
On April 3 of that year he wrote to them from Washington: “
. . . I observe a work lately published in France by D
r. Cabanis on the revolutions and reform of medicine. from my knolege of the author I am sure it must be a work of the first
merit, and if you have it, or should recieve it,
in French,
I would thank you for it.”
Peter Roche replied on April 9: “J’ai été honoré de votre lettre du 3me courant qui me demande . . . le Coup d’oeil sur les Révolutions & la Réforme de la
médicine par M
r. Cabanis; J’ai bien le dernier ouvrage dans mon magasin . . .”
The book was sent on April 26, price $
3.50. Jefferson acknowledged its receipt on May 10, and in the same letter ordered Cabanis’
Du Degré de certitude de la Médicine
[see the previous number].
Jefferson mentioned the
Coup d’Oeil, though he had not yet seen a copy, in a letter to Volney written on February 8, 1805, only a few months after its publication:
“
. . . I am glad to hear that M. Cabanis is engaged in writing on the reformation of medecine. it needs the hand of a reformer,
and cannot be in better hands than his. will you permit my respects to him and the Abbé de la Roche to find a place here .
