Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library
Thomas Jefferson listed "Les tenures de Monsr. Littleton. p. f." in his inventory of Wythe's Library in the section of titles he kept for himself. He later sold a French version of Littleton's Tenures to the Library of Congress in 1815. In her Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, Millicent Sowerby identifies this copy as the 1621 edition published in London.[1] George Wythe's Library[2] on LibraryThing notes Jefferson's copy but indicates "precise edition unknown." Brown's Bibliography[3] follows Sowerby and includes the 1621 edition. Unfortunately, Jefferson's copy no longer exists to verify the precise edition or Wythe's prior ownership.
