Letters and memoir, ca. 1763-ca. 1794.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/80333586

The 2 p. memoir concerns details of ancient sculptures of gladiators in the Villa Borghese and on the Capitoline in Rome, which Mongez identifies with bronze statues in the Tuileries Gardens in Paris. A letter of 1763 concerns an expert in the making of plaster casts and recounts a scholarly exchange about a book on the life of Cardinal Dubois. Another letter, dated An 3 (1794) is in reference to a volume of plates of antiquities.
