For three weeks in early 1771, George Wythe ran a notice in the Williamsburg newspaper, the Virginia Gazette, requesting the return of a missing third volume of Burrow's Reports:
I MISS a third volume of BURROW's REPORTS. Whether it was lent out I forget. Perhaps some Gentleman's servant carried it from the capitol by mistake last October court. Whoever will let me know where it is, I shall be obliged to him for the information.
- GEORGE WYTHE.[1]
The notice ran from January 31 through February 14, 1771. In the first notice, the title was misprinted as "Barrow's" Reports. Wythe corrected the typesetter's error after the first week.
