Kimball, page 97.
This work, a large folio, was issued in two volumes. Jefferson’s copy appears to have been bound in 1 volume. Neither his manuscript entry nor the Library of Congress 1815 Catalogue calls for more than one volume, and the later catalogues definitely state 2 vol. in 1.
According to Dr. Kimball, Jefferson had access to a copy of this work at a very early date, before the Shadwell fire in 1770. See his work, page 119. For the first edition of this book and the notes, see the next entry.
