Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Virgil Delph. 8vo. and given by Thomas Jefferson to his grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph. The precise edition owned by Wythe is unknown. George Wythe's Library[1] on LibraryThing indicates this without selecting a specific edition. The Brown Bibliography[2] lists the 1746 edition published in London—the Wolf Law Library followed Brown's suggestion and purchased this edition.
