Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Modern entries 2d v. and given by Thomas Jefferson to Dabney Carr. Two folio editions of this title were published.[1] The Brown Bibliography[2] and Dean's Memo[3] include the 1760 edition while George Wythe's Library[4] on LibraryThing indicates "1734-35 or 1741." The Wolf Law Library moved a copy of the 1760 edition from another rare book collection to the George Wythe Collection.
