{{DISPLAYTITLE:The George Wythe Room at the Wolf Law Library}}

[[George Wythe]] (1726 – 1806), William & Mary's — and America's — first law professor, assembled one of the most important libraries in eighteenth-century Virginia. Wythe's collection included Western classics, history, philosophy, science, mathematics, and law. These books had a direct impact on the development of Virginia law and the law of the new nation. In 2005 the [https://law.wm.edu/library/home/index.php Wolf Law Library] began a project to replicate Wythe's library, focusing on items of a legal nature, but reflecting the breadth of Wythe's interests. The [https://law.wm.edu/library/collections/rare-books/ '''George Wythe Boswell-Caracci Room'''] houses our collection of about 360 of the roughly 500 titles in Wythe's collection. For a bibliography of the books, see the [[George Wythe Collection|George Wythe Collection Title List]]. For a complete list of the books owned by Wythe, see [[Wythe's Library]].

Revision as of 16:25, 14 November 2024

George Wythe (1726 – 1806), William & Mary's — and America's — first law professor, assembled one of the most important libraries in eighteenth-century Virginia. Wythe's collection included Western classics, history, philosophy, science, mathematics, and law. These books had a direct impact on the development of Virginia law and the law of the new nation. In 2005 the Wolf Law Library began a project to replicate Wythe's library, focusing on items of a legal nature, but reflecting the breadth of Wythe's interests. The George Wythe Boswell-Caracci Room houses our collection of about 360 of the roughly 500 titles in Wythe's collection. For a bibliography of the books, see the George Wythe Collection Title List. For a complete list of the books owned by Wythe, see Wythe's Library.

The images below represent the permanent exhibit. Copies owned by Wythe are indicated with a ★. Select a book to view more details about the titles on that shelf:
