It is not certain which volumes, if any, Jefferson sold to Congress in 1815. The entry is marked
missing in the contemporary working copy of the Library of Congress 1815 catalogue, and is not repeated in the subsequent issues
of the catalogue. Jefferson did not close his contribution until 1816.
Jefferson originally subscribed to the
Edinburgh Review through
Fitzwhylson & Potter, of Richmond, Virginia. Letters from this firm acknowledging his orders, and sending numbers of the Review, occur in his correspondence.
