"... in the literary way we are like, after a very long dearth of good publications, to have some things worth reading. The works of the late K. of Prussia in 16. vols 8º appear now. They contain new and curious historical matter...."-- Thomas Jefferson to Dr. James Currie, 20 December 1788
"... the works of the K. of Prussia ... these were a little garbled at Berlin before printed. The government lais it's hands on all which come here, and change some leaves. There is a genuine edition published at Basle, where even the garblings of Berlin are reestablished. I doubt the possibility of getting a copy, so vigilant is the government as to this work. I shall obtain you one if it be possible..." -- Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 12 January 1789
"(one of) The most remarkable publications we have had in France for a year or two past.... It is said to have been gutted at Berlin: and here it has been still more mangled. There are one or two other editions published abroad, which pretend to have rectified the maltreatment both of Berlin and of Paris...." -- Thomas Jefferson to Joseph Willard, 24 March 1789… (more)
