Resumo

Originally written in French about 1807. Later the manuscript was "committed" to Thomas Jefferson, by whom the present translation was revised and forwarded to Duane. The French edition appeared in 1819 under title: Commentaire sur l'Esprit des lois. cf. Gilbert Chinard's Jefferson et les idéologues, 1925, p. 45-55. The word "thirty-first" in the title is an error for "twenty-ninth", which is correctly given at the beginning of Condorcet's Observations on p. 261, and on the t.-p. of the French edition of this work, Paris, 1819. Book.
