With this book has been bound a copy of the 1661 edition of the
Thesaurus Brevium
not from Jefferson’s library. The binding is probably about one hundred years old, certainly later than 1815, so was done
presumably in the Library of Congress.

This is the first complete edition of Brownlow’s entries. This copy was missing from the Library for a time. It is marked

date. It was recovered before the printing of the later catalogues in which it is included, ascribed to the Jefferson collection.
