The second volume of this work was published in Sheffield in 1740, and from his manuscript catalogue entry it is to be presumed
that Jefferson’s copy was complete. A manuscript note in a contemporary working copy of the 1815 Library of Congress catalogue
reads:
in 1 vol. so that it is possible that only one volume was delivered to Congress in 1815.
