Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Hume’s essays. 1st. vol. 8vo." This was one of the titles kept by Jefferson. He may have later sold it to the Library of Congress in 1815, but the volume no longer exists to verify Wythe's prior ownership. George Wythe's Library[1] on LibraryThing indicates "Precise edition unknown." The Brown Bibliography[2] lists the first edition (1741) published in Edinburgh while admitting that we do not know which edition Wythe owned.

As of yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to procure a copy of Essays.
