Ed.] In his preface to this work he mentions the work of the Abbé Prévost, q.v. no. 4634, and his translation of Middleton’s Life of Cicero, to which Jefferson’s note in that book has reference:
La vie de Cicéron, traduite de l’anglois, de M. Middleton, par le célebre auteur des Mémoires d’un homme de qualité, m’a été
fort utile; j’en ai tiré plusieurs notes intéressantes, & des remarques aussi sçavantes que lumineuses. J’ai eu soin de citer
quand cela m’est arrivé. Peu de livres sont mieux faits que le sien, & je reconnois, avec plaisir, que c’est en le lisant
que j’ai, conçu la premiere idée de ce petit ouvrage.
Jean Goulin, 1728-1799, professor of history and of medicine at Paris, had studied under the Abbé Batteux when professor of eloquence
at the College of Navarre. He corrected the proofs of this work and supplied the Table des Articles at the beginning.
