Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Discours de Lycurgue, d'Andocide etc par Auger. Fr. 8vo." This was one of the titles kept by Thomas Jefferson and may have been sold to the Library of Congress in 1815. Jefferson did sell a copy of the first (1738) edition of Discours de Lycurgue, d'Andocide, d'Isée, de Dinarque to the Library of Congress and that copy still exists today. However, the set has no definitive markings linking it to Wythe.[1] George Wythe's Library[2] on LibraryThing lists the copy at the Library of Congress. The Brown Bibliography[3] discusses the Library of Congress copy, noting Jefferson owned another copy sold in 1829 after his death. The Wolf Law Library followed the recommendations of Brown and LibraryThing and purchased the first edition.
