Notes and letter, 1797 October 8, and n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/31448256

The letter, 1797 October 8, gives John Barnes instructions about the collection of William Short's dividends and their payment to James Monroe. The notes found in Oeuvres de Sénèque question the identity of the author and the editor of the work and identify the translator. The notes found in Le vrai sens du systême de la nature (London 1774) and Systême de la nature (London 1771) identify the true author as the baron d'Holbach, note letters by d'Alembert and Voltaire and summarize one paragraph with a Latin quotation.
