Jefferson’s copy of this book or of the next following entry was sent to him by Molini. In a letter dated from Paris November
21, 1788, addressed to William Short, poste restante at Milan, Jefferson wrote: “
. . . I am in hopes you will find the rest of your journey still more agreeable than the beginning. I shall lighten it of
one load, that of getting me the Vocabolario della Crusca which Moline has furnished me . . .

Reale Accademia della Crusca was founded in 1582 with the object of purifying the language. Its device was a sieve, and its motto

della Crusca, first printed in Venice in 1612. This work was composed on Tuscan principles, and regarded the fourteenth century as the
