29-8 is on Jefferson’s undated manuscript catalogue.
From the data given of Jefferson’s copy, which was apparently in one volume, dated Lichfield 1782, it seems to have been the
same as the British Museum no. 580, which is described as “probably a proof copy of vol. I of the 1783 edition, without the
words: Vol. I, and without the Half-title. It seems to be unique.”
The British Museum no. 580a is the 1783 edition in 2 volumes and described as having a half-title: A System of Vegetables
in Two Volumes.
In the copy of the 1783 edition in the Library of Congress in two volumes the first title, with Vol. I, and the imprint dated
1783, is followed by a second title exactly as above, with the date 1782. There is no half-title as in the British Museum
copy. The title for the second volume is the same as the first title of the first volume with Vol. II instead of Vol. I.
It is not clear therefore whether the copies with the 1782 title-pages are proof copies, or whether they are lacking the first
title-page. From the Library of Congress copy it would seem that there was an issue, otherwise unrecorded, with the 1782 title-page
following the 1783 title, and with no half-title.
The translation of the thirteenth edition of the
System Vegetabilium
and of the
Supplementum Plantarum
(published in 1774 and 1781), was made by Erasmus Darwin and
