George Wythe, Last Will and Testament with Codicil, June 11, 1806. Image from the The Thomas Jefferson Papers, Library of Congress.

Before his death, George Wythe bequeathed his books to his friend and former student, Thomas Jefferson:

I give my books and small philosophical apparatus to Thomas Jefferson, President of the United States of America: a legacie considered abstractlie, perhaps not deserving a place in his musaeum, but, estimated by my good will to him, the most valuable to him of any thing which I have the power to bestow.[1]

Wythe's executor, William DuVal created an inventory before turning the collection over to George Jefferson, the president's cousin and agent, who received the items and sent the inventory to Washington, D.C.[2] DuVal's inventory has not been found, but in 2008, while examining a manuscript book catalog which Jefferson kept from the late 1770s through 1812,[3] Endrina Tay and Jeremy Dibbel, librarians from Monticello's Jefferson Library and the Massachusetts Historical Society, discovered a different inventory—one Thomas Jefferson composed as he decided what to do with individual titles from Wythe's Library.[4] Jefferson divided the list into nine sections. Seven of these sections are headed by the name(s) of recipients, the other two—for Dabney Carr and Jefferson himself—have no headers.

Recipients of Wythe's Books

Jefferson gave away 183 titles to various family members, a joiner at Monticello, and his grandson's tutor. Click on each name below to learn more about the individual and see a list of the titles they received.

Books Retained by Jefferson

Jefferson kept 149 titles for his own library. The list follows, and is subdivided into categories assigned by Jefferson.[5] Click on the titles to learn more about the works.
