Raleigh’s
History of the World in 2 vol. folio is entered in Jefferson’s undated manuscript catalogue with the price
5/6.
Sir Walter Raleigh, 1552?-1618.
The History of the World which covers the period from the Creation to 130 B.C. was first published in 1614, and was Raleigh’s last printed work. It
was written between 1607 and 1614, when Raleigh was a prisoner in the Tower, and was intended for Prince Henry, whose death
in 1612 deprived Raleigh of his chief motive for the continuation of the work.
Sir William Oldys, 1696-1761, Norroy king-of-arms. This is the first edition of his life of Sir Walter Raleigh.
John Trumbull, 1756-1843, the painter of the Revolution, embarked for London (his second visit) in December 1783. In 1785 he went to Paris, where he met Jefferson, and he returned to London in 1786. During Jefferson's residence in Paris, Trumbull performed numberous commissions for him in London. See the Index.
