Jefferson owned both volumes of this work, but only the first volume seems to have been received by Congress. The contemporary
working copy of the 1815 Library of Congress Catalogue has, beside the entry, the written annotation
vol. 1 only (incomplete) and the second volume is listed as missing in the manuscript list of missing books made at a later date.

Charles Johnston, 1719?-1800? Irish novelist, first published this novel in 1760-1765. It was published anonymously, but no
explanation of Jefferson’s attribution of the authorship to Smollett has been found. The work was considered one of the best
scandalous novels of the day, and ran into several editions. “A Key to ‘Chrysal, or the Adventures of a Guinea’ 4 vol. 1768”
