Evidence for Inclusion in Wythe's Library

Listed in the Jefferson Inventory of Wythe's Library as "Cambray on eloquence. 12mo." and kept by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson later sold a copy of this title to the Library of Congress.[1] His copy of the 3rd edition published in 1760 is still at the Library of Congress, but it has been rebound and has no definitive Wythe markings. Nevertheless, both the Brown Bibliography[2] and George Wythe's Library[3] on LibraryThing include this copy as the one which once belonged to George Wythe. The Wolf Law Library has been unable to locate a copy of this edition of Dialogues concerning Eloquence.
