Hi. I was accused of murdering my uncle and namesake, George Wythe, but I was totally acquitted! Cowabunga!

Headpiece from Edward Hyde, Earl of Clarendon's The History of the Rebellion and Civil Wars in England, volume two, book 7, with cryptic abbreviated motto, "L.C.V.C.F/E.C.C.P."

I am currently working on:

• Locating Wythe's lost lecture notes.
• Creating a "virtual" George Wythe Rare Book Room.
• Wythe's biography.
• Reporting on Wythe's death in 1806.
• Biographical articles from period encyclopedias.
• The Wythe Tablet and Wythe gravesite monument.
• • Wythe signatures and bookplates.
• * Scanning title pages for books in the Wythe Collection.
