The catalogue of 1849 is the first one to report the loss of the title-page of Jefferson’s copy. None of the previous catalogues
adds to the entry either the imprint or the date so that there is no means of knowing which edition was in his library. Jefferson’s
manuscript catalogue calls for two copies, both in duodecimo. The Short-Title Catalogue lists 5 editions before 1700, all in octavo format. The
copy in the Library of Congress is of the edition of 1683, printed in London by Eliz. Redmayne, with the woodcut arms of Westminster
School on the title-page, a small octavo.
The first edition was printed in 1647. For a note on Dr. Busby, see the previous entry.
