Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Both Dean's Memo[1] and the Brown Bibliography[2] include Simon Pelloutier's Histoire des Celtes based on notations made by Thomas Jefferson in his commonplace book. Both Dean and Brown cite Alan Smith's dissertion, ""Virginia Lawyers, 1680-1776: The Birth of an American Profession".[3] Brown also references Jefferson's commonplace book at the Library of Congress, noting "Jefferson regularly cites this book in his Legal Commonplace Book at a time shortly following his personal study under Wythe (circa 1763), but within a possible window of influence from Wythe." Jefferson studied law beginning in 1762;[4] and recorded a purchase of Pelloutier's work in 1785,[5] so it seems likely he used a copy owned by with in 1763. Both Dean and Brown list the 1750 edition, and the Wolf Law Library purchased a copy of the same edition.
