Jefferson’s copy is no longer in the Library of Congress. According to the 1815 catalogue he had only Volumes I and II both
of which were sent to him by Hening. On February 4, 1807, Hening wrote to Jefferson from Richmond: “. . . By the mail which conveys this, I have sent you the first Number of a series of Reports of Cases decided in the Superior
Courts of common law & chancery, of Virginia . . .”
On July 8, 1809, Hening wrote: “. . . The Second volume of Hening & Munford’s Reports, has been just published.--You have been furnished with the 1
st. & 2
nd. N
os. only of the first Volume.--On returning them, I would send you the two volumes complete, executed in a very handsome style
. . .”
Jefferson replied on July 25: “
. . . I inclose you the part of Hening & Munford’s reports you were so kind as to send me formerly, according to the request
in your letter . . .
”
Hening sent the first volume on July 31. A postscript to a letter of that date reads: “P. S. I have left with your friend George Jefferson, the 1
st. Vol. of Hening & Munford’s reports. The second shall be forwarded as soon as we can procure one in uniform binding.”
William Munford, 1775-1825, law reporter. With Hening he published four volumes of reports, 1808-1811.
