The first three volumes only from the Jefferson collection; his copy of the fourth volume cannot be identified with certainty. A copy rebound in half red morocco has been cut off at the end of 1785, the date called for in the 1815 catalogue, and for that reason may be Jefferson’s. The first volume rebound in half morocco, with the Library of Congress 1815 bookplate preserved; the second volume in original sheep, repaired, with the Library of Congress 1815 bookplate; the third volume rebound in buckram, initialled by Jefferson at sig. I and T in various places. Several leaves damaged and defective, some leaves missing, some misbound, and many leaves badly cut into.

Some of the numbers (if not all) of the first volume were from the library of Richard Bland, with his autograph signature on the title-page of the Journal for 1752, and a note in his hand at the end of the Journal for 1742, the year in which he entered the House of Burgesses for Prince George County.

A copy was half-bound for Jefferson on June 17, 1809, by Milligan. Jefferson’s copy for the year m,dcc,xc, printed in Philadelphia by Childs and Swaine, 1791, is extant, half-bound, with the 1815 bookplate of the Library of Congress removed, but with the offset clearly visible on the opposite fly-leaf. This volume has an Appendix containing the Proceedings of the District of Kentucky for Admission into the Union as an Independent State.

The 1815 catalogue calls for two sets, one in 2, the other in 5 volumes.
