This work was edited by Jean Chas, who sent a copy to Jefferson at the same time that he sent his
Histoire Politique et Philosophique de la Revolution de l’Amérique Septentrionale
[no. 485]. At the end of the letter concerning that work, dated from Paris March 1, 1801 (received by Jefferson in Washington on August
6), Chas wrote: “je vous prie, monsieur, le président d’accepter un exemplaire des synonimes de d’alembert, de diderot et de jaucort dont je
suis l’editeur, et de mon ouvrage sur bonaparte.”

I have safely recieved the copy of your history of the American revolution, of your smaller work on the Premier Consul of
France, & of the Synonimes of Dalembert, Diderot & Jaucourt which you have been pleased to send me, and for which accept my
respectful thanks, & the assurances of my sensibility at this mark of attention . . .
