Wade,
An annotated Bibliography of the Hessian Fly, no. 1256.
This appears to be the only pamphlet on the Hessian fly sold to Congress in 1815, though Jefferson had others in his library.
According to Wade, it
gives communications from the American Consul at Philadelphia, the President of the Royal Society, and others on the possibility
of importing fly in cargoes of wheat, together with minutes of privy council and reports touching on the question
.
The Hessian fly is frequently mentioned in Jefferson’s correspondence, and he was nominated a member of the committee formed
for its study in 1791 by the American Philosophical Society.
