Sir John Pettus, 1613-1690, English royalist, was deputy governor of the Royal Mines. Another issue of this book appeared in the same year
with a different set-up and with Basset’s name only in the imprint, the phrase
for the Author being omitted, and also with an additional leaf in the Corollary at the end. It is possible that the copy described above
may be Jefferson’s though it is without definite marks of identification. It is in old calf, and has the Library of Congress
1822 bookplate, with the chapter and book number as entered in the early catalogues after that of 1815.
