This entry is marked
missing in the contemporary working copy of the Library of Congress catalogue. It appears to have been entered in the 1815 Catalogue
in error; in the catalogue of 1831 it is entered as
Plays by Steele, Jonson[
,]
Cibber, &c. &c., 12mo (page 239, no. 10) and obviously refers to the collection headed
Plays by several hands, 2 v. 12mo. No. 4604-4609.
Jefferson’s manuscript catalogue has two entries reading
Plays by several hands, 1. v. 12mo, which are assumedly described in the two collections in 12mo, described above. In the Library of Congress catalogue of 1815
they are entered as
2. v. 12mo, with the annotation
1st vol. missing in the contemporary working copy, which seems to be an error. Jefferson’s manuscript has an additional entry for
Plays by several hands 2. v. 12mo, which was not sold to Congress.
