probable that the three volumes by Heyne were bound at a different time. They are lettered vol. I, II, III, on the backs,
and are not listed in Jefferson’s undated manuscript catalogue, in which the Apollodorus is entered, without price, except
for the binding: rel. 5f4. Each volume is initialled by Jefferson in two places, at sig. I and T, Ii and Tt and so forth.

Original calf, gilt backs; initialled by Jefferson at sigs. I and T throughout. With the Library of Congress 1815 bookplates.
Probably from the library of George Wythe, who bequeathed his library to Jefferson and who owned a number of
Foulis’ editions of the classics. A marginal note in Greek in the first volume appears to be in his hand.
Wythe sent to Jefferson a catalogue of the Foulis editions immediately after the fire at Shadwell on February 1, 1770. On
March 9 he wrote: “I send you some nectarine and apricot graffs ”
