Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Carey's reports in Chancery 16s." This was one of the titles kept by Thomas Jefferson. He later sold a copy of the first edition (1650) to the Library of Congress in 1815. Both the Brown Bibliography[1] and George Wythe's Library[2] on LibraryThing include this edition based on Millicent Sowerby's entry in Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson.[3] This volume still exists and may have been Wythe's copy, but the book includes no markings to verify Wythe's ownership.

As yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to procure a copy of Reports of Causes in Chancery.
