Bibliographic Information

Author: Sir Bartholomew Shower

Title: Cases in Parliament Resolved and Adjudged, Upon Petitions and Writs of Error.

Publication Info: London: Printed for A. and J. Churchill, 1698.

Edition: First edition.

Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Ordered by Wythe from John Norton & Sons in a letter dated May 8, 1770. Records indicate the order was fulfilled.[1] Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Shower's ca. in parl. and given by Thomas Jefferson to Dabney Carr. We do not know which edition Wythe owned. According to Soule, the first and third editions were folios.[2] Three of the Wythe Collection sources (Goodwin's pamphlet,[3] Brown's Bibliography,[4] and George Wythe's Library[5] on LibraryThing) list the 1740 (third) edition of this work. Dean's Memo,[6] the original source for the Wolf Law Library's collection, notes the 1698 (first) edition.
