Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Xenophontis Cyropaedia. Gr. Lat. Hutchinson. 4to." This was one of the titles kept by Thomas Jefferson and later sold to the Library of Congress in 1815. Both George Wythe's Library[1] on LibraryThing and the Brown Bibliography[2] list the 1727 edition published in Oxford based on the edition Millicent Sowerby included in Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson,[3] but, Jefferson's copy no longer exists. As yet, the Wolf Law Library has been unable to procure a copy of Xenophōntes Kyrou Paideias Biblia Oktō.
