Foreword
Early in 1942 the Library of Congress made extensive plans for participating in the bicentennial commemoration of the birth of Thomas Jefferson, which was celebrated on April 13, 1943. On that day an impressive exhibition was opened, a symposium was held, an address was delivered by Mr. Justice Frankfurter in the Coolidge Auditorium, and a scholarly brochure on the evolution of the text of the Declaration of Independence, prepared by Mr. Julian P. Boyd, was published. It was appropriate that the Library of Congress arrange these observances because of its rich holdings of materials relating to Mr. Jefferson and his era. It was even more appropriate that this institution thus honor the memory of the man whose books were its nucleus. Mr. Archibald MacLeish expressed this obligation in his introduction to the address of Mr. Justice Frankfurter when he said: "If there were withdrawn from the Library of Congress as it now exists everything which grew from the roots Jefferson planted, and everything which relates to the spirit Jefferson breathed, there would be little of its greatness left."
Among the plans proposed by the Library for the Jefferson Bicentennial was the publication of a catalogue of the library of Thomas Jefferson. It is a widely known fact that Jefferson's library was purchased by Act of Congress in 1815 to replace the original library lost in the burning of the Capitol in 1814. At the time of purchase the Jefferson library, certainly the finest collection in private hands in the United States, comprised more than six thousand volumes; today, unfortunately, as a result of fire and the inescapable forfeits to time, only approximately a third of the collection survives.
But these ancient volumes, reassembled after years of search, now occupy a place of honor in the Rare Books Division. Quite apart from its intrinsic value, the Jefferson Collection will always possess a unique distinction. The sentiment which attaches to it, its historical association, and its influence on the growth of the Library's great collections so enhance its worth that it will always be esteemed one of the Library's chief treasures.
The task of reassembling from the general collection the original Jefferson library began at the turn of the century. It was given strong impetus through Mr. Verner Clapp's analysis of the early Library of Congress printed catalogues wherein the volumes which had belonged to President Jefferson were carefully identified and designated. This analysis served as the basis of the discussion which was directed toward plans for the publication of a catalogue of the Jefferson library. Initially it was decided that the catalogue should contain detailed bibliographical descriptions of the Jefferson volumes, in contrast to the Catalogue of the Library of the United States compiled by George Watterston, and published at Washington in 1815, which listed in only abbreviated form the volumes which comprised the Jefferson Collection. Miss Sowerby was engaged as bibliographer for the undertaking. She soon impressed upon the sponsors the need for a more significant and penetrating study of the Jefferson Collection which would reveal not only what volumes Mr. Jefferson had acquired but, when possible, where and why he had acquired them and, most important, how he had made use of them. Thus the form which the catalogue was to take became something more than a bibliography and something less than a biography. Essentially, however, it is a study of the mind of a scholar, a philosopher, and a statesman as reflected in the books he assembled about him.
In view of the enlarged scope of the undertaking, it was possible at the time of the Bicentennial eight years ago to prepare only a Prospectus for the catalogue which now becomes a reality. This, the first volume of the Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, is admirably suited to a belated observance of the sesquicentennial anniversary of the Library of Congress.
Luther H. Evans
Librarian of Congress
Compiler's Preface
The Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson contained in these volumes is an essay at a bio-bibliography of the books sold by Jefferson to Congress in 1815, which formed the nucleus of the present collections of the Library of Congress. The work is based on two essential source books, the catalogue printed for Congress in 1815, after the volumes were received in Washington, and Jefferson's own holograph catalogue of his collection.
The Catalogue of the Library of the United States (seeillustration), was prepared by George Watterston, the newly appointed Librarian of Congress, and printed for Congress by Jonathan Elliot in November, 1815. In it each entry was numbered, not serially, but with the number corresponding with Jefferson's shelf-mark (see illustration). This number was inserted also in the bookplate, purchased from William Elliot in October 1815, and pasted in each volume (see illustration).
The manuscript catalogue written by Jefferson and submitted to Congress for the purposes of the sale (through Samuel Harrison Smith) in 1814, seems to have been the "fair copy of the Catalogue of my library" which he had made in 1812. This was later taken away by George Watterston and has now disappeared. Fortunately, through the courtesy of the Massachusetts Historical Society, the original and much worked over holograph draft has been made available to us, and has been used throughout this work. This catalogue was originally written by Jefferson in 1783, and is so dated by him on the fly-leaf; it was added to and supplemented continuously until the time of the negotiations for the sale in 1814. A number of differences between this and the catalogue from which the sale was actually made have been revealed as the work has progressed.
In all his manuscript catalogues--and he made a number--the books were listed by Jefferson under their subjects in a sequence suitable for reading, and in chronological order whenever practicable. In the 1815 printed catalogue this arrangement was discarded by Watterston, and replaced by a pseudo-alphabetical order, dependent solely upon the first letter of the first word of the title (even where such first words were the definite or indefinite article in any language), with resultant confusion and difficulty in its use. Watterston himself was aware of the unsatisfactory nature of his method; "the alphabetical arrangement undereach chapter" he wrote to Jefferson on December 7, 1815, "is not so correct as I wished it, but it could not without great trouble, be improved; as it would have required a new copy of your M.S."
In the present work therefore, in which the aim is to throw as much light on Jefferson as possible, the books are listed in his own order, within his classification scheme as tabulated at the beginning of the 1815 catalogue. This differs in some respects from that in Jefferson's "1783" manuscript (see the illustrations), but in all probability conforms to that written in the lost manuscript from which the sale to Congress was made. For a proper understanding of these classification tables a study should be made of the Advancement of Learning (Book II) of Sir Francis Bacon, on which they were founded.
This catalogue is divided into three parts (History, Philosophy, and Fine Arts) in accordance with Jefferson's categories. The main divisions are in turn subdivided into sections known as "chapters", each of which is introduced by a quotation selected from Jefferson's writings and illustrative of his ideas on the subject concerned.
Each book entry is headed by the corresponding listing from Jefferson's "1783" manuscript (printed in italic letters as are all quotations from Jefferson throughout the work), followed by that from the printed catalogue of 1815, with page and number reference. The letter "J" placed before these entries has been used to denote that the actual copy sold by Jefferson to Congress is still extant in the Library of Congress, while the absence of the symbol implies the contrary. The disappearance of an unfortunately large number of the Jefferson copies has been due in the past to several causes, of which the most destructive was the fire in the Capitol, where the books were housed, on Christmas Eve 1851. At this time, it was estimated, two-thirds of Jefferson's library was destroyed.
The entries within the chapters are separately numbered to indicate the extent of Jefferson's collecting interest in any subject, and a serial number (to which all references are made) provides continuity of numbering from the beginning to the end of the catalogue. The final number will indicate the sum total of the books and pamphlets sold to Congress by Jefferson.
Each entry contains the name of the author and the title of the book, with the call number of such books only as are in the Library of Congress. In the absence of identification of edition in Jefferson's manuscript or the 1815 printed catalogue, the necessary information (where Jefferson's own copy was unavailable) has been obtained from the earliest possible of the later Library of Congress catalogues which distinguish his collection.
Author and title entries are followed by a short collation where necessary (omitted if readily obtainable elsewhere), bibliographical references, description of the copy and binding in the case of Jefferson's own copies, and other necessary data. Quotations from the book are made when appropriate, with especial reference to any mention of Jefferson in the text. With regard to the bindings it should be stated that although the descriptions were precise at the time they were written, rebinding or repairs have since occurred, so that in a number of cases these descriptions have become historical rather than actual.
The utmost care has been taken to achieve accuracy in the book descriptions and even the Greek titles have been reprinted without accents or breathings if omitted from the titles of the books. In spite of all efforts the painful truth so well expressed by the late Mr. Henry Stevens is recalled with misgiving that "if you are troubled with a pride of accuracy, and would have it completely taken out of you, print a catalogue."
Following the book descriptions are annotations concerning the books taken from Jefferson's own manuscript writings and those of his correspondents. These include extracts from Jefferson's correspondence with the author or the publisher, comments by him on the book or its author, relatively minor details as to purchase and binding, and anything that could be found that would add to our information concerning Jefferson himself by means of the books in his library. This is a completely objective work, and no attempt has been made to interpret Jefferson's writings or to explain his motives. It is hoped that the quotations from his manuscripts on the wide and varied subjects of his books, which, as this catalogue will show, cover almost every branch of knowledge, will illustrate and explain the numerous facets of Jefferson's character and personality more effectively than an interpretative work. All quotations are taken directly from the autograph letters, or polygraph or letterpress copies of letters, drafts, documents, reports of conversations, the "anas" and so forth in the Jefferson papers in the Library of Congress, supplemented, by the gracious permission of their owners, from other manuscript collections of Jefferson's writings. Printed texts have been used only on the very rare occasions where no manuscript was available. The sources of all quotations are listed at the end of each volume.
Following the transcriptions and annotations, the descriptions are completed by short accounts of the authors of the books, or the editors or translators concerned.
In the extracts from the manuscript writings of Jefferson and his correspondents the most meticulous care has been taken to reproduce the exact orthography and punctuation of the writers, however curious or ignorant, and the use of the word "sic" has rarely been considered necessary. Jefferson was himself an earnest spelling reformer, and put his principles into practice. In 1815 he noted a "favorable tho' slow progression in our orthography, altho' the dictionary makers have not ventured to admit it". The reforms especially mentioned by him are the omission of the letter "u" in such words as favor and honor, of the "ugh" in tho, thro, and so forth, and of the "w" and "d" in acknolege. In addition to these reforms Jefferson affected some personal peculiarities of spelling. He almost always (after his early youth) reversed the usual order of the vowels "i" and "e", so that in quotations from his letters the words recieve, percieve, concieve, yeild, feild and even Lords Chesterfeild and Macclesfeild will be found so written. With regard to proper names of people, Jefferson wrote them to suit himself, regardless of the custom of the owner. A pointed example is the name of his Paris bookseller, Froullé, which, in spite of years of acquaintance and correspondence, Jefferson almost always wrote as Frouillé; Lord Kames is invariably written Kaims, and from his friend Dr. Joseph Priestley's name he omitted or inserted the final "e" at will, so that it appears either as Priestley or Priestly according to his whim of the moment. Examination of his correspondence shows also that with the exception of proper names Jefferson rarely made use of a capital letter.
In quoting the prices paid for his books, it was found impossible to reproduce the foreign money symbols, other than the English used by Jefferson in his manuscripts. Pound, shilling and dollar signs have been reproduced therefore when proper, and in other cases a period or hyphen has separated the smaller from the larger denomination in the currency of the country concerned.
Although as many as possible of the books from Jefferson's library had already been collected and assembled in the Rare Books Division before this Project was started, a number of gaps still remained. In compiling this catalogue, every effort has been made to fill as many of these as possible, and during the course of the work more than three hundred of Jefferson's original copies have been withdrawn from the general stacks and added to this collection. Searching for missing copies has been one of the many interesting tasks in the preparation of these volumes, and all the Library of Congress copies of any needed book were examined for marks of provenance. Jefferson did not use a bookplate, but followed the practice of completing his initials on the pertinent signatures of the book, T on signature I (for J) and J on signature T (see illustration).
To recognize books so signed by him was simple, but this was not his invariable custom, and other means of identifying his copies had to be found. Some were readily detected by the author's presentation inscription on the flyleaf; others by a Georgetown binding by John March or Joseph Milligan still on the shelves of the stacks. One such book was discovered only by the accident of a reader asking for it when this first volume was already in final page proof. Jefferson's manuscript and all the Library of Congress printed catalogues called for a volume of tracts on witchcraft by Cotton Mather, printed (according to these catalogues) in Boston in 1697 (see no. 451). The only book by Mather which answered this description was originally printed in Boston, but reprinted in Edinburgh in that year, and had been described therefore with the suggestion that the reprinted phrase had been missed. Recently a reader asked for Robert Calef's "More Wonders of the Invisible World," printed in London in 1700. This, an attack on Cotton Mather but not written by him, turned out to be the missing volume. It is still in its Georgetown binding, and lacks the title page, but is initialled by Jefferson and has his own shelf mark, chapter 4, no. 24, pasted down on to the first leaf of text. This number provided the necessary clue, without which it would have been impossible to know that the required book was by Calef and not by Mather. In the absence of the title page (with date 1700), the date of the preface, 1697, had been used by the early cataloguers. Other books were found on the shelves with the Library of Congress 1815 bookplate and with the chapter and number corresponding with Jefferson's shelf mark, and still others had annotations by George Wythe, who bequeathed his library to Jefferson, or by Thomas Mann Randolph, Jefferson's son-in-law; a number of books with repaired bindings were found to have the 1815 bookplate concealed beneath the new endpapers; occasionally in a bound volume of pamphlets the list of the contents written by Jefferson on the flyleaf was found attached to a tract, thus giving the clue to the contents of a volume originally bound together but since separated and scattered through several classes. Reassembling these scattered pamphlets into their original volumes has been one of the most difficult tasks, and regrettably it is not fully complete. In the absence of any information by either Jefferson or the Library of Congress catalogues except the name of the author, identification has not as yet been always possible. A number have been traced through Jefferson's correspondence, which has been at times most useful in supplying the name of the author or the date to an anonymous or an undated work. A list of these contributions to bibliography by Jefferson will be found in the last volume of this catalogue.
This Project was initiated in 1943 as part of the observance by the Library of Congress of the Jefferson Bicentennial, and a Prospectus with specimen pages was then issued. The Second World War was in progress at the time and the greater part of the necessary material for the work had been evacuated, including the books from Jefferson's library, the Jefferson papers, and the National Union Catalog. With the diminished resources available it seemed possible not only that a complete bio-bibliography might be compiled, but that it might be accomplished within a period of two years, and it was so announced in the Prospectus. The return of the evacuated material in all its richness showed the absurdity of both these ideas.
The number of manuscripts to be read and examined was so overwhelming that it is impossible not to suggest that the student of Jefferson will be repaid by further reading of these, or that the publication by Princeton of the volumes of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson will not provide undiscovered material.
The completed work will be comprised in five volumes, four for the text, and one for the indexes, which will contain also the bibliographical lists, and the short notes on the persons mentioned in the annotations.
The pleasant task remains of thanking those who have contributed, in various ways, to the production of these volumes. First of all, our appreciative thanks are due to Mr. Josiah K. Lilly, Jr., of Indianapolis, Indiana, through whose interested consideration this Project was supported for two years by a fund "for bibliographical
research relating to American writers" provided by the Lilly Endowment, Inc.
At the expiration of this fund the future of the Project was decided by a Committee which met in the Library of Congress on August 29, 1944, under the chairmanship of Mr. Lawrence C. Wroth, the Librarian of the John Carter Brown Library. Thanks for their interest and for their decisions at that meeting are due to Mr. Wroth and to the other members of the Committee--Mr. Archibald MacLeish, the then Librarian of Congress, the late Mr. Randolph G. Adams, Messrs. Robert W. G. Vail, Julian P. Boyd, Harry Clemons, David C. Mearns, Lewis U. Hanke, Mortimer Taube, and Frederick R. Goff, who acted as secretary.
Our sincere thanks are extended to the directors of the various institutions who have so kindly permitted the use of the original autograph Jefferson letters and documents in their collections. The Massachusetts Historical Society, which, in addition to correspondence, supplied the "1783" and an undated manuscript catalogue (also compiled by Jefferson), the American Philosophical Society, Colonial Williamsburg Inc., the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, the Missouri Historical Society, the New-York Historical Society, the University of Virginia, the Virginia Historical Society, and the College of William and Mary have all placed their Jefferson collections at our service, and to all we are deeply grateful.
With regard to the Library of Congress every division and every individual approached has been so extremely helpful throughout that it would be invidious to mention names. We should like however to take this opportunity of publicly thanking Dr. Luther H. Evans, the Librarian of Congress, for his quiet and unfailing support throughout, and no words can tell how much it has been appreciated. Mr. Verner W. Clapp, the Chief Assistant Librarian, was the original instigator of the Project, and not only is it due to his enthusiasm that it was ever undertaken, but he himself had made before its commencement, a short-title checklist of the books in the Jefferson collection, and collated their numbers in the various early Library of Congress catalogues, and thus had laid the groundwork at the outset.
Very special thanks are due also to Dr. Burton W. Adkinson, the Director of the Reference Department, who is in charge of the administration of the Project and without whose understanding and cooperation it is doubtful if the book would have reached publication. With Dr. Adkinson must be associated Mr. Robert C. Gooch, the Assistant Director, and the other members of the staff of the Reference Department.
Special mention must be made of the Rare Books Division in which the Project has been quartered for some time, and to each individual member of its staff our most appreciative thanks are given.
We particularly wish to thank the two assistants on the Project whose loyalty and active help cannot be overestimated. Mrs. Frances Wall worked with the Project from 1943 to 1947, and Miss Virginia Warren from 1949 to 1951, and it is sincerely hoped that their enjoyment in their association with the Project was equalled by the pleasure their assistance gave.
Many other friends have given valuable and much appreciated help and information. Mr. Wroth, Chairman of the above-mentioned Committee, has taken keen interest since that time, and has acted as Honorary Consultant throughout. Mr. Julian P. Boyd (also a member of the Committee), the Editor of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson at Princeton University, and his Associate Editors, Mr. Lyman H. Butterfield and Mrs. Mina R. Bryan, have been unfailingly kind in volunteering pertinent information and in answering questions when called upon, and Mr. Clyde E. Henson of the Michigan State College supplied valuable information with regard to the Jefferson purchases from the Bland library. We should like also to express grateful thanks to the members of the Government Printing Office staff who have worked indefatigably in the production of the volumes.

The "Cypher" Jefferson devised in 1803 for communications with Meriwether Lewis. The key word, given by him on the verso of this manuscript, was "artichokes."
Foreword
In the first two volumes of this work, containing the chapters in History and a portion of those in Philosophy, the classification scheme used for the catalogue of the books purchased from Jefferson which was printed for the Library of Congress in 1815 followed almost exactly the manuscript catalogue of these books classified and compiled by Jefferson himself from 1783 to 1814. This manuscript, used by kind permission of the Massachusetts Historical Society, and the printed catalogue of 1815 have formed the basis of this work.
Volume III, continuing Philosophy, contained the first important change from Jefferson's manuscript catalogue, and in the present volume, Volume IV, concluding Philosophy and containing the first part of Fine Arts, the divergence has become so marked that it is apparent that the revised "fair copy" of his catalogue made by Jefferson, and used during the negotiations for the sale, differed substantially from his earlier version.
A comparison between the classification scheme printed in the 1815 Catalogue (based on the later manuscript) and that with which Jefferson prefaced his 1783- 1814 Catalogue (both illustrated in Volume I of this work), will show the beginnings of divergence. In the 1815 printed catalogue the contents of Jefferson's chapters 24 and 25, Politics and Commerce, are united into one chapter, 24, and form Volume III of this work. The remaining chapters included in Philosophy, namely four on Mathematics and one on Geography, follow Jefferson's pattern except for the change in numbering caused by the inclusion of Commerce in Politics. Jefferson's chapters are numbered therefore 26 to 30, whereas in the printed catalogue the numbering is from 25 to 29.
These are the last chapters in Philosophy, and are followed by Fine Arts, the third major division in Jefferson's classification scheme. In these chapters the divergence between Jefferson's earlier manuscript catalogue, and his later one as shown in the printed catalogue, has become more and more marked, with the result that in basing this work on the Library of Congress printed catalogue, it has been quite impossible in Volume IV to follow Jefferson's manuscript as closely as in the previous volumes.
In the 1783-1814 manuscript Jefferson's first chapter in Fine Arts, chapter 31, is devoted to Gardening, and this is followed by Architecture, Sculpture and Painting, chapters 32, 33, and 34.
In the Library of Congress printed catalogue Fine Arts begins with Architecture, chapter 30, and the three following subjects, Gardening, Painting and Sculpture are combined into one chapter, 31.
Jefferson's next three chapters are devoted to Music, chapter 35 for the Theory of Music, 36 and 37 for Vocal and Instrumental Music respectively. Only the contents of chapter 35 were sold to Congress, forming chapter 32 of the printed catalogue, and it cannot be ascertained whether the vocal and instrumental entries, of which there were a considerable number, particularly of the latter, were listed in his "fair copy."
There are numerous other changes in the order of the chapters; these can be recognized by a comparison of Jefferson's manuscript scheme for Fine Arts in his earlier catalogue, illustrated in this volume, and the arrangement in the Library of Congress 1815 catalogue. The changes were not confined to the chapter arrangement, but apply also to the position of individual book entries, of which a number are transferred into other chapters in the revised catalogue.
It is much to be regretted that Jefferson's later manuscript catalogue is not available, but the changes in his thinking can be adduced by a comparison of his earlier manuscript with the catalogue printed in 1815.
It may be well to mention here a difficulty encountered throughout the preparation of these volumes, and concerned with the books themselves and not with the catalogues.
Copies of a number of books sold by Jefferson to Congress are not to be found in the Library today. When the need has arisen therefore it has been our custom to apply for the loan of the book through the interlibrary loan service. It has happened with distressing frequency, particularly with volumes listed in the Fine Arts section of Volume IV, that the needed book was kept in the Rare Book or Treasure Room of the library that owned it, and could not be sent on loan.
Visits to the libraries were not possible, with the result that the descriptions of a number of books listed in this catalogue had to be obtained from secondary sources and not from the books themselves. This circumstance has been noted in the catalogue whenever it has occurred.

Foreword
Thomas Jefferson, like Tennyson's brook, goes on forever. There is no stopping him, no coming to an end either of himself as a personality or to the discoveries to be made concerning him. He himself never ceased to grow, and consequently our knowledge of him can never be considered complete. One glance at his classification scheme for his library [see illustration in Volume I] is sufficient to show the multiplicity of his interests, for in his book-collecting no subject was overlooked by him. Hence no work centered round him is ever really definitive, for more material, especially in his own correspondence, can always be found on any subject connected with him.
It had been hoped, when this undertaking was started, to compile a definitive catalogue of the library sold to Congress in 1815 by Jefferson, fully annotated by himself and his correspondents. This has proved to be impossible. Not only did his never-ending and much-scattered correspondence present difficulties, but the books themselves could not be completely listed. In his manuscript catalogues Jefferson rarely entered particulars as to the editions of his copies, an example followed by George Watterston in his printed catalogue of the purchase, published in 1815. Later Library of Congress catalogues were usually, though not always, more specific. Thus, in numerous instances, the only way to ascertain the book or edition sold to Congress depended on examination of the volumes themselves. This, of course, was frequently impossible. A great many books from Jefferson's library were among those lost in the fire of 1851; those which escaped formed part of the main Library of Congress until 1897, when the first attempt was made to separate Jefferson's copies and to keep his library together as a unit. In the meantime, however, many more of his books had disappeared, or, because of rebinding and other causes, the marks of their Jefferson provenance had become unrecognizable or had been lost.
In these circumstances the necessity of publishing this work volume by volume was most unfortunate, as later discoveries and increased knowledge could not always be added to the volume concerned. A number of these discoveries, both books and letters, will be found in the Additions to this volume.
Work on this catalogue was begun during the Librarianship of Mr. Archibald MacLeish with a fund provided by Mr. Josiah K. Lilly, Jr., President of the Lilly Endowment, Inc. On the expiration of this fund, the project was continued by the Library of Congress under the Librarianship of Dr. Luther H. Evans, and, after his resignation in July 1953, of the Acting Librarian, Mr. Verner W. Clapp, until 1954. Completion of the project was then made possible by a generous grant from the Lilly Endowment, Inc., for which we now make our grateful acknowledgment. From September 1954 on, the project continued with the support of the present Librarian of Congress, Mr. L. Quincy Mumford.
For a number of years the Jefferson Project was housed in an alcove in the Rare Book Division, and we owe immeasurable thanks to Mr. Frederick R. Goff, Chief of the Division, not only for this courtesy but for his scholarly advice and assistance, always at our disposal. To him and to his staff, past and present, who have been unfailingly cooperative and helpful, we owe more thanks than we can express.
We are indebted for many courtesies to other Divisions of the Library of Congress, and would like to give special thanks to Mr. David C. Mearns, Chief of the Manuscript Division and Assistant Librarian for the American Collections, and his staff, and to the members of the Loan Division and the National Union Catalog.
It would be impossible to mention by name every member of the staff of the Library of Congress to whom we are indebted, but we cannot omit an acknowledgment of sincere gratitude to Mr. Donald H. Mugridge, Dr. James B. Childs, Mr. Robert F. Ogden, and Mrs. Maria Levitzky, each of whom, in a different way, rendered invaluable service.
Friends outside the Library of Congress have been equally kind. In the first volume we expressed our thanks to the Directors of the various institutions who have so kindly allowed the use of the Jefferson manuscripts in their collections, without which this work would not have been possible. To the list in Volume I we now have the pleasure of adding the Huntington and the Pierpont Morgan Libraries, both of which have graciously permitted the use of their material. To Mr. Julian P. Boyd, the editor of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson at Princeton, and to his former associate editors, Mrs. Mina Bryan and Mr. Fredrick Aandahl, we take the greatest pleasure in reaffirming our thanks for their constant helpfulness. Dr. Trevor Colbourn of Pennsylvania State College had the generosity to send the results of his research on the authorship of an anonymous publication, and Mr. John Cook Wyllie of the University of Virginia has been indefatigable in his kindness and helpfulness. To these and to all other scholars in and outside the Library of Congress who have so generously given of their knowledge, I wish to express my deep and constant gratitude.
We wish too to thank for their courtesy and their work connected with the project, the various officers of the Library of Congress who have been in charge of the administration of the project. To those to whom we have had already the opportunity of expressing our thanks in Volume I, we wish to add the members of the staff of the Information and Publications Office, which has administered the project since 1953.
During the years the Jefferson Project has had a series of assistants, numbering seven in all. The first was Mrs. Frances W. Mathis, who was followed successively by Miss Virginia Warren, Mrs. Ellen Tracy, Mrs. Virginia Hayne, Miss Dorothy Wollon, Mr. Charles Byers, and Mrs. Evelyn Dunne. The work was greatly helped by the enthusiasm and loyalty of each, and they will always be remembered with pleasure and gratitude.
Once more we wish to thank the Government Printing Office for its careful and artistic work, and for the handsome appearance of the volumes. These owe much to the beautiful endpapers specially designed by Mr. Arch C. Gerlach, Chief of the Map Division in the Library of Congress.
The compilation of this work has been a most delightful experience. The close association with Mr. Jefferson himself, and with the scholars of the Library of Congress and elsewhere, has been most educating and stimulating, and I am proud to have this opportunity of expressing my thanks to the Library of Congress for allowing me this great pleasure.

Sources and Reference Books Used in This Catalogue
I. The Source Books
This Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, that is of the books sold by him to Congress in 1815, is based on the two essential sources: his own manuscript catalogue of his library, and the list of these books printed six months after their receipt in Washington, entitled Catalogue of the Library of the United States.
1. Jefferson's Manuscript Catalogue of his Library.
Manuscript written by Thomas Jefferson on 132 leaves measuring 7¼ by 4&frac84; inches, bound in the original calf. This catalogue is divided into 46 chapters, so numbered by Jefferson, the entries within the chapters written in single columns and arranged for the most part in chronological order. The catalogue occupies 129 leaves, which include a number of blank pages, and is preceded by 3 leaves. On the first (which is the first leaf of the manuscript) Jefferson has written [???] this mark denotes the books I have. those unmarked I mean to procure. 1783. Mar. 6. 2640. vols
The second and third leaves (3 pages) contain Jefferson's classification scheme. A reproduction of the first two pages is at the beginning of Volume I of this work.
The manuscript also contains tables which have not been used in this compilation.
This catalogue is the property of the Massachusetts Historical Society, through whose courtesy we have been permitted to use it. It was presented to the Society in June 1898, together with other papers and letters of Thomas Jefferson, by Jefferson's great-grandson, Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, son of his granddaughter, Ellen Randolph Coolidge.
The Massachusetts Historical Society's manuscript catalogue is frequently referred to as the "1783" manuscript owing to Jefferson's note at the beginning, though actually it contains entries of books acquired as late as 1814, immediately before the negotiations for the sale commenced. It is a palimpsest and seems to have been a book catalogue at every stage. The entries have been worked over many times by Jefferson, there are numerous erasures and semi-erasures, a large number of entries are checked and double-checked with the mark shown by Jefferson at the beginning, while others have a different kind of mark, a single stroke. Jefferson kept a separate list of the books he acquired during his term of office as Minister Plenipotentiary to France, and it seems possible that he did not take the "1783" catalogue with him, but brought it up to date on his return.
The "1783" catalogue was perforce used as the basis for this work, in the absence of the "fair copy" made from it by Jefferson, which was sent to the Library Committee, was after the sale retained by George Watterston, the newly appointed Librarian of Congress, and lost to the Library.
In his fair copy Jefferson made many changes both in the chapter arrangements and in the book entries. The older manuscript, for example, had 46 chapters. These were later reduced to 44, the number in the Library of Congress printed catalogue. The changing of the book entries from one chapter to another caused some confusion in the earlier chapters of this work, before the whole catalogue had been used. Remarks on this will be found in the Foreword of Volume IV.
Jefferson mentioned his intention of making a new catalogue in a letter to Thomas Cooper, dated July 10, 1812:
. . . I am making a fair copy of the Catalogue of my library, which I mean to have printed merely for the use of the library. it will require correct orthography in so many languages that I hardly know where I can get it done . . .
The voluminous correspondence concerning his manuscript catalogue written during the negotiations for the sale of the library makes no mention of the existence of the "1783" catalogue. On October 29, 1814, in a letter to Joseph Milligan, who had been appointed to value the library and to number the books, Jefferson wrote:
. . . The Library Committee requires a proposition on my part as to the price of my library, & as a ground of negociation in making such a proposition I could take no ground but from the number of vol&stilde;, their sizes & average value, but having sent them my catalogue, I have no means of coming at the numbers . . .
Again, his letter to Samuel Harrison Smith written on January 30, 1815, does not suggest that there was another manuscript catalogue:
Presuming that my catalogue has by this time answered all the purposes of information as to the contents of my library, and needing it almost daily myself, I will ask the favor of it's return, but only in the case of it's being no longer useful to the Committee . . .
A letter to Alexander J. Dallas, written two and a half months later, on April 18, does mention both manuscripts:
. . . not having revised the library for many years, I expected that books would be missing without being able to conjecture how many, and that in that case a deduction should be made for the deficient volumes. I have gone through a vigorous review of them, and find indeed some missing, which were in the Catalogue on which the estimate and purchase were made; but that considerably more both in number and value had been omitted by oversight in copying that catalogue from the original one which was done two years ago . . .
Owing to its palimpsestic condition the original manuscript catalogue would have been quite worthless in forming an estimate of the value of the library.
The catalogue copied "two years ago" was the fair copy mentioned to Thomas Cooper in September 1812, and used for printing the Catalogue of the Library of the United States in 1815.
On April 26, 1815, immediately before the arrival of the books in Washington, Watterston wrote to Jefferson informing him of his appointment as Librarian of Congress, and expressed a wish to consult him as to the arrangement of the books. The letter closed: "You will not neglect to forward the catalogue if you have a spare copy as I wish to have it printed as early as possible. . ."
Jefferson sent the catalogue on May 7:
. . . You will receive my library very perfectly in the order observed in the Catalogue, which I have sent with it . . .
This catalogue remained in the possession of George Watterston. In a letter to Asher Robbins, Chairman of the Joint Committee on the Library, dated February 1830, Watterston wrote:
. . . The M.S. Cat: of the Liby was given to me by Mr. Jefferson, if I could save it from the printer--It was of no use to him or the Liby & I therefore claim it as my property.
This statement by Watterston is the only one we know of on this subject; no corroboration has been found in the correspondence of Jefferson or elsewhere.
Lacking Jefferson's fair copy of his catalogue from which the sale to Congress was made, his original "1783" manuscript has been used as the basis of this Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson, collated with the Catalogue of the Library of the United States, printed in 1815.
2. The Catalogue of the Library of the United States, 1815.
Catalogue of the Library of the United States. To which is annexed a Copious Index, alphabetically arranged. Washington: Printed by Jonathan Elliot, 1815.
4to. 106 leaves in fours, the last a blank. The catalogue proper occupies sig. 1-221 verso pages (1)-170, and begins with a half-title Catalogue of the Library of Congress of the United States of America. It is preceded by four leaves without signature or pagination, containing the title as quoted above, the table of contents, and the classification scheme. Following the catalogue are 17 leaves, the last a blank, and the first with the half-title Index, &c. The index occupies pages x-xxi, and is preceded by the Recapitulation of the Grand Formats, or Great Folios (pages iii-iv), the analysis of the Encyclopedie Methodique, text and planches, and the Index to the Plates of the Encydopedie Methodique, (pages v-ix); at the foot of the page headed Planches is a list of Dictionaries to be completed (8 entries), Not worth completing (2 entries), Planches wanting: All after the 70th livraison, to wit, All except the Atlas + 8 vols of Arts et Metiers . . . in the possession of Mr. Jefferson. The index is followed by the Rules and Regulations to be observed in the Library of Congress (pages xxiii-xxviii), dated 4th December, 1812; Abstract of Laws concerning the Library of Congress (pages xxix-xxxii) the first dated January 26, 1802, and the last March 2, 1812.
The catalogue was issued in marbled boards and was printed by Jonathan Elliot, the printer of the Washington City Gazette, first issued in November 1814, of which George Watterston was the editor and William Elliot the publisher.
The basis of this catalogue was the fair copy of Jefferson's "1783" manuscript catalogue. The "Copious Index" was not in the manuscript catalogue (which contains the index of the Encyclopédie Méthodique), and was prepared by Jefferson himself before the library was sold or the catalogue printed.
On September 21, 1814, in sending the fair copy of his manuscript catalogue to Samuel Harrison Smith for the use of the Library Committee, Jefferson wrote:
I am engaged in making an Alphabetical Index of the authors' names to be annexed to the catalogue in order to facilitate the finding their works in the catalogue, which I will forward to you as soon as compleated.
Three days later the possibility of printing the catalogue was first broached by Joseph Milligan. In a letter to Jefferson written on September 24, Milligan requested Jefferson to communicate with the Secretary of State on the advisability of separating the office of Librarian of Congress from that of Clerk to the House of Representatives, and to send him a catalogue of his library, adding that "I will immediately on receipt of it arrange to have it printed."
In a letter to Samuel H. Smith written a month later on October 29, Jefferson mentioned that "Mr. Milligan has asked permission of me to print the catalogue on his own account, as a book of sale . . ."
Nothing more seems to have been done about the printing of the catalogue until after the appointment of George Watterston as Librarian of Congress in the spring of 1815.
On April 26, 1815, Watterston wrote to Jefferson to inform him of his appointment, and requested him to "forward the catalogue if you have a spare copy, as I wish to have it printed as early as possible."
Jefferson replied to this on May 7, and explained that he had complied an index:
. . . You will recieve my library arranged very perfectly in the order observed in the Catalogue, which I have sent with it . . .
To give to my catalogue the conveniences of the Alphabetical arrangement, I have made at the end an Alphabet of Authors' names, and have noted the chapter, or chapters in which the name will be found. where it occurs several times in the same chapter it is indicated by one or more perpendicular scores, thus ||||. according to the number of times it will be found in that chapter. where a book bears no author's name, I have selcted, in it's title, some leading word for denoting it Alphabetically. this member of the Catalogue would be more perfect if, instead of the score, the number of the book were particularly noted. this could not be done when I made the catalogue, because no label of numbers had been put on the books. that addition can now readily be made, and would add greatly to the convenient use of the Catalogue . . .
On June 26 Jefferson inquired of Milligan for news of the printed catalogue: "I wish also to know . . . whether you expect to print the catalogue?"
Four months later, on October 10, Jefferson recalled the attention of "Mr. P. Watterson" to the matter: "I am anxious to learn that they are printing the catalogue, being desirous to get a copy of it. it will need a most careful revisal of the proof sheets."
To this Watterston replied three days later, on October 13:
I am happy to inform you that the Catalogue is now in press--& that, in a few weeks, it will be published--I have preserved your arrangement, as one that I think excellent & that I had previously thought of adopting--I have introduced by [sic] one alteration & that is in arranging each chapter alphabetically. Having pasted printed labels on each vol.--it gives them a uniformity of appearance quite agreeable to the eye . . . The proof sheet of the catalogue is examined several times & by several persons, so that it is as accurate as can be made--I have from the very scant & limited appropriation made by Congress (only 800 dollars) been obliged to exercise some ingenuity to get the catalogue printed before the session of Congress--as soon as it is compleated I will send you a copy.
On December 7 Watterston wrote to say that the catalogue was printed and that he was sending Jefferson a copy:
I have requested Mr. Milligan to bind one of the printed Catalogues in calf & transmit it to you. There are some errors in it which could not be avoided. I trust, however, you will, on the whole, be pleased with its execution. The alphabetical arrangement under each chapter is not so correct as I wished it, but it could not without great trouble, be improved; as it would have required a new copy of your M. S. The numbers you suggested as neccessary to the completion of the Index, were unavoidably omitted as they would have a tendency to swell it to too great a size & as that neccessity is in some degree obviated by the alphabetical order of the chapters . . .
Jefferson had not received a copy when he wrote to Watterston on January 3 of the following year, 1816:
I remain in the hope of receiving from you a copy of my catalogue when printed, being very necessary in enabling me to replace many of the same editions of books.
Later in the same month, on January 29, Watterston wrote to Jefferson:
. . . Have you gotten the catalogue I requested Mr. Milligan to forward to you? And if you have will you be so good as to let me know how it pleases you? You will, no doubt, discover some errors in it; but these were unavoidable in the printing of so large a work--The Library Committee is dissatisfied with me for having the catalogue printed without having waited to consult their superior judgment; but the members generally speak very highly of your arrangement & disposition of the books & I suppose will have no hesitation in allowing for its printing--the report of the Committee to the contrary notwithstanding.
Jefferson acknowledged the receipt of the copies on March 2 and commented:
I recieved three copies of the Catalogue from Mr Milligan for which I thank you. The typography is handsome, and, the execution generally pleasing to the eye. There are some errors of the press, but such a number of titles in so many different languages could not be expected to be otherwise. you ask me how I like the arrangement within the chapters? Of course, you know, not so well as my own; yet I think it possible the alphabetical arrangement may be more convenient to readers generally, than mine which was sometimes analytical, sometimes chronological, & sometimes a combination of both.
The copy of the 1815 Catalogue used for the compilation of the present work was the working copy annotated by Watterston and others after the receipt of the books in Washington. The entries of the books received are checked and the missing ones so marked.
The present Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson follows the 1815 Catalogue as far as the arrangement of chapters is concerned, but within the chapters has followed Jefferson's arrangement of the entries.
Illustrations of the title-page, the classification scheme, and of two pages of the text of the 1815 Catalogue will be found at the beginning of Volume I of this work. It will be noticed that the catalogue entries are as brief as possible and rarely give details of the edition. This essential information has been obtained from the earliest of the subsequent Library of Congress catalogues. The catalogue of 1831 preserves the numbers of the entries in the 1815 catalogue (that is, Jefferson's numbers), and for the most part copies the entry of that catalogue, adding little if any information. In the catalogues of 1839 and 1849 the entries have been renumbered, but the imprints, with publisher and date, have been added. In all these catalogues the books from Jefferson's library are so marked, either by the letter J or by an asterisk. It must be mentioned, however, that certain inaccuracies in placing the letter J or the asterisk have been noticed.
In the case of the political pamphlets in Volume III which were separated and reclassified in the Library of Congress, the information had to be obtained from the catalogue of 1864. The arrangement by chapters is here discarded, the entries are in a straight alphabetical order, and, in the case of the pamphlets, the information as to the bound volume to which they belonged is added.
Thus, although the catalogue of 1815 is the basic work, the compilation of the present catalogue would have been impossible without the later Library of Congress catalogues.
II. Manuscript Sources for the Annotations
1. The Jefferson Papers in the Library of Congress.
These papers were acquired by the Library of Congress in 1903. They were purchased by the Government from the Jefferson estate in 1848, and remained in the State
Department until they were transferred to the Library of Congress. Since that time, the Library has added to this collection from other sources.
The original papers purchased by the Government are now contained in 239 bound volumes. They include:
i. Letters written by Jefferson between 1771 and 1826. The greater number of these are in Jefferson's autograph, in polygraph or letterpress copies. A small number are copies made by a clerk or secretary.
ii. Original holograph letters written to Jefferson between 1771 and 1826.
iii. Jefferson's autograph drafts of official documents Among these are his reports to Congress as Secretary of State; his messages to Congress as President; his notes on the establishment of a monetary unit; and many others.
iv. Unofficial documents in Jefferson's autograph. These include his notes on conversations with George Washington when President, and with other officials; his memorandums taken on a journey from Paris into the southern parts of France and northern Italy in the year 1787; the so-called "anas"; his notes on the Hessian fly; and a number of other memorandums and notes.
v. Writings by Jefferson. These include his own biography (begun in 1826); his life of Meriwether Lewis; his "Thoughts on English Prosody" (not printed in his lifetime); his articles for Démeunier on the Etats-Unis to be used in the Encyclopédie Méthodique; material on Louisiana; and many more articles on a number of subjects. The above five sections are contained in 236 bound volumes, and number 42,426 leaves.
vi. Jefferson's autograph lists of his letters written and received. These lists are contained in 2 volumes. The arrangement is partly chronological, and partly alphabetical. Some of the listed letters include summaries of the contents.
vii. Jefferson's Common-place Book. This forms the 239th volume of the material acquired from the State Department in 1903. It is a holograph, compiled by Jefferson before 1776, and written on both sides of 158 leaves of paper.
2. Manuscripts and Papers of Contemporaries of Jefferson as Follows:
The John Adams papers
The Franklin papers
The James Madison papers
The James Monroe papers
The W. C. Rives papers
The William Short papers
The Charles Thomson papers
The George Washington papers
The George Watterston papers
3. The Manuscript List of Missing Books.
Manuscript on 11 pages of folio paper, written by the same hand throughout though probably at different periods.
The titles entered on pages one to eight are in order of chapter and number as in the Library of Congress 1815 Catalogue. The first six pages are neatly ruled in columns, headed Chap. and .No. The first page only has an additional column for the number of volumes, and all ruling is omitted after the sixth page. On the later pages the titles have the chapter and number, but are listed without order, and were apparently entered as they were reported missing.
The first page is headed Congress Library books missing, the second and third have continuation headings, the fifth and tenth have new headings, Congress Library books absent and Books absent from the Library. The list appears to have been checked and annotated by the same hand that checked and annotated the working copy of the Library of Congress 1815 Catalogue. The entries in that catalogue which have the manuscript note "returned by Mr. Watterston, July 30th." and "returned by Mr. Hickey July 30th" are similarly annotated in the manuscript list. The entry for Durnford and East's Reports in the manuscript list has the note "(vide if it belonged to Jefferson)" [see no. 2087 in this Catalogue] and a few of the annotations refer to books acquired by the Library of Congress after 1815.
Internal evidence makes it clear that the manuscript list was compiled between the years 1815 and 1830, the date of the next printed Library of Congress catalogue, when the books in the Library were all renumbered.
The book numbers in the manuscript list are those originally given to the books by Jefferson and printed in the Library of Congress 1815 Catalogue. Books acquired by the Library between 1815 and 1830 were not given new numbers, but received appropriate numbers with the addition of a, b, c, and so forth. All entries in the supplementary lists printed between those years have therefore these lettered additions to their numbers. For example in the 1815 Catalogue, Chapter 3, No. 61 is Mac Neven's Pieces of Irish History 8vo. Books on Irish history later acquired, and printed in the supplementary lists, received the numbers 61a (Hay's Insurrection of the County of Wexford), 61b (Vindiciae Hibernicae), and 61c (Harrop's History of the Irish rebellion).
In 1830, the year following the removal of George Watterston as Librarian of Congress and the appointment of John Silva Meehan to that office, the whole library was renumbered and a new catalogue issued. As the numbers of this list of missing books conform to those of the Library of Congress 1815 Catalogue and the supplementary lists, it is clear that it was made before the new catalogue was published in 1830.
But for an unfortunate lack of proof, internal evidence might have pointed to the fact that the more orderly part of the list was made before 1820. Jefferson's copy of his Fugitive sheets of printed laws, 1734-1722, no. 208 V. in the 1815 Library of Congress Catalogue, is entered in the manuscript list of missing books, and is marked missing in the working copy of the 1815 Catalogue. This book was not delivered to Congress with the rest of the library in 1815. It had been borrowed by W. W. Hening, who on August 19, 1820, wrote to Jefferson that as soon as he had finished with it he would send it to the Librarian of Congress. This would have given a proof of the date of the compilation of the missing list, except that a record of its return by Hening has not been found. It is not mentioned in any of the letters after that date between Hening and Jefferson or between Jefferson and Watterston. The book is not entered in any of the later Library of Congress catalogues and although it is to be supposed that Hening duly sent the book to the Library of Congress, in the absence of proof this cannot be used as evidence of the date of compilation of the list of missing books.
George Watterston ceased to be the Librarian of Congress in June 1829. In a letter to Asher Robbins, the Chairman of the Joint Committee of the Library of Congress, dated February, 1830, he made several references to missing books:
"In compliance with the request, expressed in the resolution of the Joint Library Committee, I send you the explanation desired. The list and resolutions were not received until the 4th inst. and I have, since, been so much engaged that I have not been at leisure to attend to it before. The books marked thus [???] on the list furnished and contained in the accompanying paper, marked (A) were selected by me, two winters ago, at the request of the committee to be disposed of, agreeably to a resolution of Congress. These consisted of old editions, duplicates and imperfect sets a list of which was furnished to Govr Dickerson & Mr. Everett, and the books were left in charge of the present keeper of the Library. They were in the reading room at the period of my removal and shown to him at that time & the reason of their being there explained. What has now become of them it is not for me to say. Some of those, however, were distributed by the Committee in compliance with the resolution to which I have referred which may be seen in paper marked (B) and some delivered to the Clerk of the House of Reps (see paper marked C). The books contained in the paper marked (D) were taken out by the members to whose names they are affixed and not returned. The Committee will understand that it is made the duty of the Librarian, by a rule of the institution, placed under his charge, (Rule 18) to report to the Speaker of the House and the Secretary of the Senate the names of such members as have failed to return the books, borrowed by them, and the presiding officers of the two Houses are empowered to remit or enforce the penalty. This report was made by me regularly every session; for during every session, while I held the office, several books were taken out and not returned and in very few instances was the penalty enforced. It will be seen that as soon as the matter is laid before the President of the Senate and the Speaker of the House of Representatives, all obligation on the part of the Librarian ceases and that he is no longer held answerable for the books thus lost or removed. It may be proper to observe that I have on several occasions suggested to those gentlemen the propriety of enforcing the rule to prevent the Library from sustaining a serious injury, by frequent losses; but they were unattended to and I have often been censured by those whose negligence I had wished to correct. As one of my receipt books is not in my permission [sic], there may be some members charged whose names are not given. Being in consequence of my report to the presiding officers, discharged from all obligation, I preserved no list of the defaulters and am indebted for the information now furnished to the records which I took the precaution to bring with me. The books contained in paper (E) are supposed to have been purloined, or at least, taken without my knowledge. It may not be improper to remark that for twelve years I acted as Librarian alone; had no assistant, and but one servant: that I superintended the first removal of the Library to the Post Office, had all the books labelled inside & out; the labels of which I prepared with my own hands--that a few years after, I superintended its removal to the north wing of the Capitol and thence again to the apartment it now occupies. In consequence of these frequent removals and the free ingress of strangers of all classes; it must be a matter of surprise that more books were not purloined than appear to have been. This may be attributed to the constant and unremitting attention I found it necessary to exercise, when I acted alone, but being often called upon to aid the members in their researches and examination of books, the other parts of the Library were necessarily left unattended, and possibly some volumes may have been withdrawn without my knowledge, but in no Library in this country or in Europe, except where the books are chained to the shelves, is there an instance of smaller loss in this way than in the Library of Congress, while under my care. For these if Congress require it, I will pay whatever they may be valued at. With this, however, the Committee are I presume aware that they have no concern, as their duties are confined (unless otherwise directed) exclusively to the purchase of books, maps &cc.
"The paper marked (F) contains the list of books which were left in the Library at the time I delivered it up to the President of the U. S. This fact is established by the certificate of Mr. Stelle, my late assistant, and leave it to the committee to say what must be the feelings of the man who can thus trump up a statement which he knows to he erroneous and which he has, no doubt made from an impression that it would never reach my ears. He may have been misled by the practice which has lately prevailed in a higher sphere, of shooting the poisoned arrows in the dark and leaving the victim to suffer without his knowledge by whom it was discharged. It would seem that he has mistaken his man. It appears that he has charged as missing the very books he knew to be in the Library and has put down others, a list of which was left with him, at the period of my removal. This must be ascribed to malignity or ignorance and may possibly originate from a requisition to justify an act of userpation, by misrepresentation and falsehood.
"The resolution which authorized the Committee to withdraw the books which he has charged as missing likewise authorized the distribution of all the copies of State Papers, Journals, &c above a certain number & which encumbered the shelves of the Library, These were put up in boxes and are now in the circular room above the small rotunda in the North wing. A list of them was left with the keeper of the Library and the Secretary of the Senate has another. The paper marked (G) contains a list of books which were never received. The following extract of a letter from Mr. Jefferson to me dated May 7th 1815 will account for some of them. 'I gave to Mr. Milligan a note of those fol. vols of the Laws of Virginia belonging to the Library which being in known hands will be recovered. One is a M. S. vol from which a printed copy is now preparing for publication.' Some, too, he has marked as missing that were never obtained as the 2nd and 3rd vols of Hamiltons works & see paper (H) and some he has not given that were taken out and not returned or given by the Committee: see paper (I).
"In relation to these books which are set down as missing & not in the catalogue, it is only neccessary to remark that it is a mistake. For example, in labelling number 4 with the additional letter a or b I have sometimes omitted it in consequence of the number of vols of the same no & letter tho' in a different chap & hence has originated the apparent deficiency. The ms. cat. of the Liby was given to me by Mr. Jefferson, if I could save it from the printer. It was of no use to him or to the Liby & I therefore claim it as my property.
"I render my thanks to the comm[???] for thus affording me an opportunity to account for the books charged as missing by the keeper of the liby & beg them to do me the favour of preserving these papers to prevent the neccessity of future explanation--"
This letter is signed by Watterston at the end with his initials G. W.
Only the last two paragraphs are in his autograph; the major portion of the letter is in another hand. The resolution of Congress "two winters ago," referred to in the first paragraph of the letter, is the resolution made by the 20th Congress, 1st Session, "providing for the distribution of certain Public Documents, and the removal of certain Books from the Library," approved 24th May, 1828.
The description of the manuscript was made from a photostat, as the original was not available at the time.
4. The Papers of Thomas Jefferson in the Coolidge Collection in the Massachusetts Historical Society.
These papers were presented to the Massachusetts Historical Society in June 1898 by Thomas Jefferson Coolidge, the son of Ellen Randolph Coolidge and the great-grandson of Thomas Jefferson.
Among the contents of these papers which have been used in this catalogue are:
Letters written by Jefferson from 1770 to 1826. These are for the most part autograph letters in polygraph or letterpress copy. A few copies in the handwriting of a clerk or secretary are also included.
Original holograph letters addressed to Jefferson during this period.
The original holograph draft of the Notes on Virginia.
The Garden and Farm Books.
The "1783" holograph catalogue of his books on which this work is based, described previously.
An undated holograph book catalogue. This manuscript has been used throughout this work. It is divided into chapters, basically the same as in the "1783" catalogue but with variations, and with the entries similarly checked, rechecked, and a number deleted. From internal evidence this catalogue would seem to consist of a list of books acquired, by purchase or gift, during Jefferson's residence in Europe, that is, from the late summer of 1784 to 1789. The prices, usually in French, English, or other European money, are affixed to the entries of books obtained by purchase. Jefferson apparently started the catalogue before he left the United States. There is an entry for John Trumbull's M'Fingal (no 4509 in this catalogue), sent to him by the author on June 21, 1784, at which time Jefferson was in Philadelphia.
5. Papers of Thomas Jefferson in Other Libraries and Institutions.

The papers used were chiefly letters to and from Jefferson. Additional material was used as indicated.
Princeton University Press, publishers of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, edited by Julian Boyd, kindly allowed us to copy a letter of which the original is in the Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. (See the Notes on the State of Virginia, no 4167.)
6. The 1815 Bookplate.
The following account of the 1815 bookplate is taken from an unpublished paper, "Early Library of Congress Bookplates (1800-1822)" by Frederick R. Goff, Chief of the Rare Book Division in the Library of Congress.
"This plate was printed by William Elliot, who also printed the new Library of Congress Catalogue of 1815, prepared by George Watterston from one of Jefferson's manuscript catalogues of his library. This 1815 Catalogue is a classified list divided into 44 chapters representing in the main Sir Francis Bacon's table of science, which Jefferson utilized in the subject arrangement of his personal library. The works assigned to a given chapter are recorded more or less alphabetically, although they appear to have been shelved rather haphazardly, or at least in no consistent order of size or subject. This brief analysis will explain the presence and meaning of both the chapter number and the shelf number, both of which appear within the inner square of the plate illustrated.
"The volume in which this plate is found is the fourth volume of Filippo Mazzei's Recherches historiques et politiques sur les Etats-Unis (Paris, 1788) recorded as number 246 in Chapter 24 of the 1815 Catalogue. The catalogue listing reads: "246. Recherches historiques et politiques sur les E. U. de l'Amerique, par Mazzei, 4v 8vo." On the plate shown, the shelf number 246 has been crossed out and the number 329 substituted in its stead. This is the shelf location which is recorded in the 1831, 1840 and 1849 catalogues.
"In the examination of many of the bookplates in the 2000-odd Jefferson books that are now extant and shelved in the stacks of the Rare Book Division of the Library of Congress, it has been noticed that there are four distinct varieties in the arrangement of the rosettes at the corners.
"As indicated by the illustrations, the first, second, and third varieties are found in three of the volumes of Mazzei's work described earlier. It is thus apparent that there is no obvious priority about any of the varieties, and they must all have been in use at the same time. The plate selected to illustrate the fourth variety is found in volume IV of History and Proceedings of the House of Lords from the Restoration in 1660 (London, 1742), catalogued as number 221, subsequently number 286, of Chapter 24 in the early Library catalogues . . .
"We are fortunate in having the record of the printer's bill for the 1815 plates, which is not without interest. The bill was rendered on October 10, 1815, by William Elliot, who itemizes the charges in this fashion: 'Sept. 18. To printing 11,1000 labels, at 50 cents per hundred, for the inside of books . . . $55.50.' On the same bill a similar amount is charged for the printing of the same number of labels 'for the backs of the books.' Some of the extant Jefferson books carry a label on the back, but in no instance have we found one having the chapter and shelf number of the 1815 Catalogue. It is therefore not possible to state with certainty that this label was the one itemized on the bill . . ."
