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 Nicholson of Richmond, Virginia, who had published Wythe's Reports in 1795, and at least seven other supplements for Wythe, in 1796 and later.[2]

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Upon his death, Wythe's personal copy of this pamphlet was bequeathed with his books to Thomas Jefferson, and subsequently became part of the collection at the Library of Congress. This copy has been bound in a volume with six other Chancery decisions published in pamphlet form. On the spine, the volume is titled: Wythe's Reports. Supplement. Virginia. 1796-99. The pamphlet for Between Wilkins and Taylor has a handwritten notation, "no. 5," on the first page.[3]

This pamphlet contains an errata sheet on the last page; Wythe made manuscript corrections in his hand, correcting the errors.
