Neither Jefferson’s manuscript catalogue nor the Library of Congress 1815 catalogue specifies 2 volumes; it is to be assumed therefore that only the one volume was
sold to Congress. Jefferson tried to buy a complete copy in 2 volumes from Lackington, no. 16177 in the latter’s catalogue
for 1792. It was on the order sent to A. Donald, November 23, 1791, but is not on Lackington’s bill for the books ordered at that time.
John Ernest Grabe, 1666-1711, was born in Germany, but eventually settled in Oxford, England, where he was ordained and became Chaplain of
Christ Church.
