8vo. 31 leaves, 21 folded engraved chronological charts, the first two by Shallus, unnumbered, the remainder unsigned, and numbered 1 to 19.
This edition not in Sabin.
Fulton & Peters, page 7, record two issues of this date printed in Philadelphia.
The charts extend from 4000 B.C. to 1750 A.D.; the last three names are Adam Smith, Sam. Johnson and Barthelemy.
For an edition without the charts see Chap. 1, no. 118.
This book was missing at the time of the sale of the Library to Congress, and a copy was supplied by Milligan at Jefferson’s
request, on May 6, 1815 (bought from William F. Gray, Richmond, price $2.00).
The above entry in Jefferson’s catalogue is preceded by an entry for the 12mo. edition already placed by him in chapter 1. See no. 118.
There is a separate listing of this edition in the Library of Congress 1815 catalogue (page 13, no. 2) so it is possible Jefferson
had another copy. [No--this would be a 12mo. edition--
