This book may have formed part of Wythe’s bequest to Jefferson. Wythe died in 1806, and a copy of this work was bound for
Jefferson on June 30 of the following year, in calf, gilt, cost $1.00. All marks of identification (except the few manuscript
notes by Wythe) have been lost in the rebinding.
This book was bound originally by John March (LC 27979).
George Wythe, c. 1727-1806, Virginia lawyer and Signer of the Declaration of Independence, was Jefferson’s tutor in his law studies, and
his “
most affectionate friend through life.” Jefferson himself, for Sanderson’s
Biographies of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
, prepared in 1820 notes for the biography of Wythe, a polygraph copy of which, in Jefferson’s hand, is in the Jefferson Papers in the Library of Congress.
