the separate list made by Jefferson of the books in this purchase.
The copy in the Library of Congress has been rebound and has lost all marks of provenance except that after sig. I in both
volumes has been written the letter W, after Jefferson’s style of marking his volumes. It is possible that the initials I
[for J] W thus formed may have belonged to John Wayles, members of whose family marked their books in this manner.
