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 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 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.
