Notes

The Repository, Vol.II, Issue no.X (I June 1788). Carpenter indicates that this is almost certainly an extract from Weiss Principes philosophiques, politiques et moraux (1785) and that Vaughan's signed copy of this work is held by the American Philosophical Society, making it highly likely that he was the translator too. See Carpenter, 'Benjamin Vaughan's contributions unveiled: a bibliography' (History of European Ideas, 44:3, 2018), p. 305.
