Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Brown's Bibliography[1] includes the first edition (1742) of Cooke's Reports and Cases of Practice in the Court of Common Pleas based on quotations in the manuscript copy of John Marshall's law notes. The Wolf Law Library moved a copy of the same edition from the general rare books collection to the George Wythe Collection.
