Thomas Jefferson Randolph (1792-1875), oldest son of Martha Jefferson Randolph and Thomas Mann Randolph, and favorite grandson of Thomas Jefferson, served six terms in the Virginia House of Delegates and became a member and eventually Rector of the University of Virginia Board of Visitors.[1] Jefferson personally guided his grandson's education and consequentially gave Randolph seventy-two titles from Wythe's library—almost twice as many as any other recipient other than Jefferson himself.

Wythe Books Given to Randolph by Thomas Jefferson

The list below was adapted from the "Library of George Wythe," in the Thomas Jefferson Libraries project on the website for Monticello.[2]
