Lewis Goldsmith (1763?–1846) was a British-born cosmopolitan political writer and journalist of Portuguese Jewish heritage whose initially pro-French career turned savagely against French policy and leadership (DNB description begins H. C. G. Matthew and Brian Harrison, eds., Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, In Association with The British Academy, From the Earliest Times to the Year 2000, Oxford, 2004, 60 vols. description ends ).

Two books to you: Goldsmith forwarded his own The Crimes of Cabinets; or, A Review of their Plans and Aggressions for the Annihilation of the Liberties of France and the Dismemberment of her Territories and his English translation of Hauterive’s State of the French Republic at the end of the year VIII, both published in London in 1801 (see Sowerby description begins E. Millicent Sowerby, comp., Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, Washington, D.C., 1952–59, 5 vols. description ends , Nos. 404, 2444).

John Carne of Falmouth wrote to TJ on 9 June that at Goldsmith’s request he was sending “a small Parcel” under the care of Samuel Newman of the Prince Ernest Packet and asked that it be forwarded from New York “by some safe conveyance” (RC in DLC; at foot of text: “H.E.
