Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as Hooker’s Ecclesiastical polity. fol. and given by Thomas Jefferson to his son-in-law, Thomas Mann Randolph. We do not have enough information to conclusively identify which edition Wythe owned. George Wythe's Library[1] on LibraryThing indicates this without naming a specific edition. The Brown Bibliography[2] lists the 1723 edition from London based on the copy Jefferson sold to the Library of Congress.[3] The Wolf Law Library followed Brown's suggestion and purchased the London 1723 edition.

Description of the Wolf Law Library's copy

Bound in contemporary Cambridge-style panelled calf, newly rebacked. Signed: "F.H. Thornton, Oct. 1912." Includes bookplate of Edward Thornton.
