ABSTRACT

"With the arrival of Admiral Jones in Paris at the end of May, 1790, began the last chapter of his romantic career. He was in comfortable circumstances. The adjustment of his long-neglected business affairs had placed at his disposal between forty-five and fifty thousand dollars in available funds, and his interests in Holland, Belgium, and England were prosperous. His health had much improved since he left Russia, but the condition of his lungs was still the object of much anxiety to his friends, if not to him.
