In the absence of a title-page (which is first noted in the Library of Congress Catalogue of 1839), it is not possible to
know which edition was in Jefferson’s library. The
Glasgow edition by
Foulis is suggested here because it was the first edition in duodecimo of
this work. On the other hand, Jefferson usually added the name
Foul. to his editions by those printers. The book is entered in his undated manuscript catalogue with the description
p.f.
and the price,

James Thomson, 1700-1748, Scots poet. The four
Seasons were originally published separately. The first edition of the four poems, with the title
The Seasons was published in 1728 in octavo.

The works of
Bion and
Moschus, Greek bucolic poets who flourished circa 100 and 150 B.C. are usually published together, and frequently joined with those
of Theocritus. This Oxford edition, edited by John Heskin, is described by Dibdin as “A very elegant edition, and much more
critical and correct than that of Schwebelius. Almost all the French notes of Longepierre are translated into Latin, and his
inaccuracies and imperfections are diligently corrected.”

The two parts of this edition are usually found bound together in one volume, and are generally described by bibliographers
as being 2 parts in 1 vol. It would seem that Jefferson’s copy must have been bound in two volumes.
