price $

Jefferson sold both volumes to Congress, but the English-Spanish volume disappeared sometime after 1830. It is called for
in the catalogue of 1830 but the later catalogues call for only one volume.
Only one volume is written in ink beside the entry in the working copy of the 1815 catalogue, and the title is entered in the manuscript
list of missing books made at a later date.
Claude Marie Gattel, 1743-1812, French scholar[,] was born in Lyons, where he eventually became professor of philosophy. Later he was a professor
at Grenoble, and finally at the École Centrale of the Département of Isère. The first edition of this pocket dictionary was
published in Lyons in 1798.

This entry has the annotation
missing in the contemporary working copy of the Library of Congress 1815 catalogue, and is omitted from the later catalogues. It
is entered in the manuscript list of missing books made after 1815. The book, without further information as to place and
date of printing, is entered by Jefferson in his undated manuscript catalogue without any price.
The first edition was printed in 1771 in Madrid by D. Joachin de Ibarra, Impressor de Cámara de S. M., and the second edition
by the same printer appeared in the following year. Both these editions (copies of which are in the Library of Congress) are
in small octavo, and could easily have been described by Jefferson as 12mo.
