Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed twice in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Polybius. Gr. Lat. 3.v. 8vo. Thomas Jefferson gave one copy to John Wayles Eppes and the other to Thomas Jefferson Randolph. Jefferson had sent at least one of these copies to Wythe from Paris.[1] Brown's Bibliography[2] includes the 1763-64 edition of Polybius published in Leipzig based on an edition Jefferson sold to the Library of Congress.[3] George Wythe's Library[4] on LibraryThing indicates "Precise edition unknown."

Has morocco title label to second panel, contrasting morocco volume label to third, and remaining panels with gilt central lozenge and volute corner pieces.
