Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Guthrie's history of England & Ralph's continuation 5.v. fol." and given by Thomas Jefferson to his son-in-law, Thomas Mann Randolph. Later appeared on Randolph's 1832 estate inventory as "Guthries History of England 3 [vols.] $15.00." According to the English Short Title Catalogue, Guthrie only published one edition — in London (1744-1751). Both George Wythe's Library on LibraryThing[1] and the Brown Bibliography[2] list Guthrie's History of England.
As yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to find a copy of this title.
