[This 1st ed. of Jefferson's "Notes" was printed in Paris for private circulation (200 copies) without title- 

 page, and is not to be regarded as published. I have not seen a copy ; above title is quoted from Bartletl's Cata- 

 logue of the Library of John Caiter Brown. From Ibis came a French version, 1786 ; some say also 1783. For 

 cu-cumstances of the work prior to the regular publication of the English cd., see Bartlett, op. cit., 192; and 

 especially Randall's Life of Jefferson, vol. i, p. 414 (6°, New York, 1858).— The date, 1782, is supposed to be that 

 of prep.iratioo, not of printing, of the work. There have been numerous imprints; O'Caragban'a list of them 

 (with some additional data) is as follows: — Ed. of 1782, without a title-page, 200 copies [privately printed].— Phil-

 made, printed, and published in advance of the authentic English cd. of 1787. See what is said under heads of

[The original draft of this work, which bears date 1782, was imprinted (200 copies) for private circulation, 

 without title-page, and caun 't be considered as published. There was an anonymous French vers'on in 1786. 

 The English ed. of 1787 being the first one published with sanction of the author, and avowed by him, is the one 

 from which Jefferson's list of the mammals acquires its proper date. (See the eds. of 1782 and 1786.)]
