Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Xenophontis historia. 4.v. 8vo. Foulis and given by Thomas Jefferson to John Wayles Eppes. According to Gaskell's bibliography, the Foulis Press published Xenophon's Hellenica and Agesilaus once, in 1762.[1] Both Brown's Bibliography[2] and George Wythe's Library[3] on LibraryThing include this title as the one intended by Jefferson's notation.

Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy
