Wotton’s view of Hicke’s thesaurus.
4
to.
Not in the 1815 Catalogue.
This book was possibly not sold to Congress in 1815. Wotton’s name is listed in the Index of the 1815 Library of Congress catalogue with reference to this chapter, which contains no
title by him.
Wooton's Short View was sold to Congress in 1815. In the catalogue of 1815 it was reclassified into chapter 43, where the description will be found. (see no. 4854.)
In Jefferson's entry the word Hickes's in the book's title is correctly written.
