César Oudin, d. 1625, Spanish scholar and diplomat, was brought up at the Court of the King of Navarre, and eventually became “Sécretaire
Interprete du Roy és langues Germanique, Italienne, Espagonolle, et Sécretaire ordinaire de Monseigneur le Prince de Condé.”
He was the author of a number of books, and of a translation into French of

This may be the book to which Jefferson referred in his letter to John Trumbull in London, dated from Paris March 15, 1789:
“
. . . I expect Lackington will call on you as soon as you receive this for a sum of about £5. be so good as to tell him to
add to my catalogue N

Giuseppe Marc’ Antonio Baretti, 1719-1789, Italian author and lexicographer, was born in Turin. In January 1751 he obtained an engagement in the Italian
Opera House at London, where, soon after his arrival he opened a school for teaching Italian, and taught that language to
Mrs. Lennox, the author of
The Female Quixote
. Baretti became acquainted with Dr. Johnson, Sir Joshua Reynolds, David Garrick, Oliver Goldsmith and many others. He returned
to Italy and to London a number of times, and died in London. The first edition of his Italian dictionary, to which Dr. Johnson wrote the dedication, was printed in London in 1770. A number of later editions appeared.
Ferdinando Altieri published the first edition of his English and Italian dictionary in London in 1726.
