[732] Botta: History of the War of the Independence of the United States of America. This work, published in Italian in 1809, was not translated into English until 1820; but in 1812-13 a French edition was brought out, and that is probably the one Jefferson had read.

[734] Johnson: Sketches of the Life and Correspondence of General Nathanael Greene. This biography was even a greater failure than Marshall's Washington. During this period literary ventures by judges seem to have been doomed.
