This work is entered by Jefferson in his undated manuscript catalogue, price
1.10, and another copy price
2.8. It is doubtful whether either copy was received by Congress; the entry is marked missing in the contemporary working copy
of the 1815 Catalogue, and the book not checked as having been received; it is entered in the manuscript list of missing books
made at a later date, and the entry is omitted from all subsequent catalogues.
