Rough calf, some leaves discolored and dampstained. Initialled by Jefferson at sig. T; on the front cover the signature of John Randolph. With the Library of Congress 1815 bookplate. The volume has also the bookplate of the Washington
Library.
According to Jefferson’s manuscript catalogue and the Library of Congress 1815 catalogue Jefferson sold to Congress 7 volumes of the
Statutes at Large. The volume described above is the only one of these now extant. The book is not checked in the 1815 catalogue as having
been received; it is entered on the manuscript list of missing books made at a later date, though with no indication that
there was more than one volume, and the entry dropped from later catalogues. The presence of the bookplate of the Washington
Library indicates that it was one of the books given into the care of that institution, for a note on which see no. 1793.
The
Statutes at Large were edited by Joseph Keble, q.v. and were first printed in 1696.
