Between Wilkins and Taylor is a published opinion by George Wythe, for the case Wilkins v. Taylor, Wythe 338 (1799), in Virginia's High Court of Chancery.[1] The report was published in pamphlet form in 1799 or later—almost certainly printed by Thomas Nicolson of Richmond, Virginia, who had published Wythe's Reports in 1795, and at least seven other supplements for Wythe, in 1796 and after.[2]
Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Upon his death, a copy of this pamphlet which had belonged to Wythe was bequeathed with his books to Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson had the pamphlet bound into a volume with seven of Wythe's other Chancery decisions which were published as supplements.[3] Subsequently, the volume became part of the collection at the Library of Congress, titled on the spine: Wythe's Reports. Supplement. Virginia. 1796-99.[4] The pamphlet for Between Wilkins and Taylor has a handwritten notation, "no. 5," on the first page.[5]
This pamphlet contains an errata sheet on the last page; Wythe made manuscript corrections in his hand, correcting the errors.[6]
