Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as [Virgil] Foulis. 12mo. 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, adding "Foulis editions in Latin were published in octavo in 1758 and 1784, and in folio in 1778. Three-volume English editions in duodecimo were published in 1769 and 1775." The Brown Bibliography[2] suggests either the Foulis edition of 1758 or 1784 with a slight preference for the former. The Wolf Law Library purchased the 1784, octavo edition.
Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy
