This work was originally issued in 1765, and remaindered in 1777 with a new title-page. Jefferson’s copy was of the latter
issue. The title-page of the first issue has been given above, as no copy with the date 1777 was available for examination.
The 1777 title-page is not mentioned by Quérard nor by Bernandes Branco.
Jefferson bought two copies of this work from
Froullé, both on September 24, 1787, price
10 livres for the two.
A copy is listed on his undated manuscript catalogue, with the price

At the end of the Evenemens Remarquables of the year 1492 (Vol. II, page 8), is the passage:
Cette année si mémorable pour l’Espagne par la prise de Grenade, ne l’est pas moins pour le monde entier, par la premiere
découverte de l’Amérique, qui est entièrement due à Christophe Colomb, Génois, quoique cette partie du monde ait pris le nom
d’Americ Vespuce, Florentin, qui n’y alla que cinq ans après
.
Other references to America occur.
Charles Jean François Henault, 1685-1770, French historian.
