Colonial Williamsburg attempted to identify specific titles as early as 1958 when Mary R.M. Goodwin, a senior researcher at the Rockefeller Library, wrote [http://research.history.org/DigitalLibrary/View/index.cfm?doc=ResearchReports/RR0216.xml ''The George Wythe House: Its Furniture and Furnishings''.] Goodwin listed 54 titles and divided them into three categories: law books, journals, and miscellaneous. Within these categories, Goodwin identified several of the [[Known Surviving Wythe Volumes|known surviving Wythe volumes]]. Goodwin's research laid the foundation for another Colonial Williamsburg attempt at reconstructing Wythe's library. In an [[Dean Bibliography|internal memo]]<ref>Memorandum from Barbara C. Dean, Colonial Williamsburg Foundation, to Mrs. Stiverson (June 16, 1975).</ref>, Barbara C. Dean expanded Goodwin's list to 189 titles by utilizing the published papers of Wythe's students and adding titles illustrative of the time.

Until 2008, the Goodwin and Dean bibliographies represented the extent of known information regarding Wythe's library. That changed with the discovery by Endrina Tay, a librarian at Monticello's Jefferson Library, and Jeremy Dibbell of the Massachusetts Historical Society, of a manuscript list in the hand of Thomas Jefferson which appeared to document dispersal decisions Jefferson made regarding Wythe's books.<ref>Endrina Tay & Jeremy Dibbell, [http://www.common-place.org/vol-10/no-02/tales "Reconstructing a Lost Library: George Wythe's 'Legacie' to President Thomas Jefferson,"] Tales from the Vault, ''Common-Place'', Jan. 2009.</ref> [[Jefferson Inventory|Jefferson's inventory]] identifies 338 titles (649 volumes) with brief notations. In some cases, specific titles and editions can be derived from Jefferson's entries. In other instances, mystery remains.<ref>[http://www.masshist.org/database/doc-viewer.php?item_id=1768 "Inventory of the Books Received by Thomas Jefferson from the Estate of George Wythe, Circa September, 1806,"] Massachusetts Historical Society.

Tay and Dibbell's discovery led to the creation of two further bibliographies: [http://www.librarything.com/profile/GeorgeWythe George Wythe] on [http://www.librarything.com/ LibraryThing] which combines titles from the Jefferson inventory with other known items, and "The Library of George Wythe of Williamsburg and Richmond", an [http://hdl.handle.net/10288/13433 unpublished compilation by Bennie Brown,] from the Bookpress Ltd. in Williamsburg.<ref>Bennie Brown, "The Library of George Wythe of Williamsburg and Richmond," (unpublished manuscript, May, 2012) Microsoft Word file. Earlier edition available online at the [http://hdl.handle.net/10288/13433 Swem Library's Special Collections Research Center.]</ref> Brown conducted extensive research, visiting each of the libraries with known or suspected Wythe volumes. He also combed primary sources, including the published legal records of [[Decisions of Cases in Virginia by the High Court of Chancery|Wythe's decisions]] and his arguments for the plaintiff in ''[[Bolling v. Bolling]]''. The most recent version of Brown's bibliography includes 478 titles and provides much of the substantiating evidence for the Wolf Law Library's [[George Wythe Room]].

[[Category:Titles in Wythe's Library]]

Revision as of 15:45, 10 November 2020

George Wythe supported his voracious reading habits with an extensive personal library[1] but, if he made any record of its contents, that has not been found. When Wythe died in 1806, he bequeathed all his books to his favorite protégé, Thomas Jefferson.[2] For 200 years, very little was known about Wythe's library other than its existence within Jefferson's massive collection.

Selected Virginia legal titles including Daniel Call's copy of George Wythe's Decisions of Cases in Virginia, by the High Court of Chancery (1795).

Colonial Williamsburg attempted to identify specific titles as early as 1958 when Mary R.M. Goodwin, a senior researcher at the Rockefeller Library, wrote The George Wythe House: Its Furniture and Furnishings. Goodwin listed 54 titles and divided them into three categories: law books, journals, and miscellaneous. Within these categories, Goodwin identified several of the known surviving Wythe volumes. Goodwin's research laid the foundation for another Colonial Williamsburg attempt at reconstructing Wythe's library. In an internal memo[3], Barbara C. Dean expanded Goodwin's list to 189 titles by utilizing the published papers of Wythe's students and adding titles illustrative of the time.

Until 2008, the Goodwin and Dean bibliographies represented the extent of known information regarding Wythe's library. That changed with the discovery by Endrina Tay, a librarian at Monticello's Jefferson Library, and Jeremy Dibbell of the Massachusetts Historical Society, of a manuscript list in the hand of Thomas Jefferson which appeared to document dispersal decisions Jefferson made regarding Wythe's books.[4] Jefferson's inventory identifies 338 titles (649 volumes) with brief notations. In some cases, specific titles and editions can be derived from Jefferson's entries. In other instances, mystery remains.[5]

Tay and Dibbell's discovery led to the creation of two further bibliographies: George Wythe on LibraryThing which combines titles from the Jefferson inventory with other known items, and "The Library of George Wythe of Williamsburg and Richmond," an unpublished compilation by Bennie Brown, from the Bookpress Ltd. in Williamsburg.[6] Brown conducted extensive research, visiting each of the libraries with known or suspected Wythe volumes. He also combed primary sources, including the published legal records of Wythe's decisions and his arguments for the plaintiff in Bolling v. Bolling. The most recent version of Brown's bibliography includes 478 titles and provides much of the substantiating evidence for the Wolf Law Library's George Wythe Room.
