Jefferson tried to get an octavo edition of this book. On February 28,1810, he wrote from Monticello to Milligan: “
I observe by the Reviewers that a IV
th. vol. of Mitford’s history of Greece came out in 1808, in 4to. if an 8
vo. copy is to be had I should be glad of it. I have such a repugnance to the handling of 4tos & folios, that I always prefer
waiting for the 8
vo. or smaller editions.
”
On September 26 he wrote again referring Milligan to his letter of Feb. 28, and reminding him that to a former request: “
I added one for Mitford’s history of Greece, if an 8
vo. edition could be had, and also for the 4
th. vol. of that work, just published if that volume also had been printed in 8
vo. and I at the same time asked the favor
”
