Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Theophrasti careteres. Gr. Lat. 12mo. Foulis" This was one of the titles kept by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson may have sold it the Library of Congress in 1815. Both George Wythe's Library[1] on LibraryThing and the Brown Bibliography[2] list the 1758 edition published in Glasgow based on the Jefferson copy at the Library of Congress.[3] While the copy still exists, it includes no definitive ties to Wythe. As of yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to procure a copy of Theophrastou Charaktēres Εthikoi.
