The Library of Congress catalogues which distinguish the books from Jefferson’s library credit him with the second edition
of 1806 as above. The author himself sent Jefferson a copy of the first edition printed in Boston in 1802, for which Jefferson
wrote to thank him from Washington on May 5, 1802: “
I have to acknolege the reciept of your Latin grammar, by post, for which I pray you to accept my thanks. my occupations will
probably not permit me immediately to have the satisfaction which I have no doubt I shall derive from the perusal of it. but
I am pleased with every effort to facilitate the acquisition of the Greek & Latin languages. I do not give into the modern
doctrine that the time spent on those languages is time lost. they usually occupy a portion of life when the mind is not strong
enough but for matters of memory. They have furnished us with the only models of rational, correct, and chaste composition:
no other antient nation having left, nor any modern one (not conversant with these models) have produced, any works of that
character. the luxury too of reading them in their original language is one for which I feel more thankful to those to whom
I owe it than for any of the things which the world usually calls luxuries. under these impressions I see with pleasure the
taste for these languages cultivated, and ascribe to you the merit you may justly claim to this work. permit me to join here
my thanks for the other volume also, and to tender you my best wishes and respects.

Charles Hoole, 1610-1667, English educational writer. Copies of any edition of this work are extremely rare. This one is omitted from the
STC which lists six editions in all, with no edition between the first and the eighth, and all but one in one copy only, the
exception having two copies located. From the evidence obtainable there appear to be two editions in the United States in
single copies each, the present one in the University of Pennsylvania and a copy of the edition of 1690 in the University
of Illinois.
