THOMAS JEFFERSON, NOTES ON THE STATE OF VIRGINIA., 1787

Copy used by Jefferson, containing his manuscript additions, revisions, maps, and plates. Bound into this book are eleven letters of Edward D. Ingraham of Philadelphia and John Spear Smith, 1845-1847, dealing with a proposed publication of the Notes from this copy, then owned by Smith. No edition of the Notes having appeared between 1847 and 1853, it can be assumed that Smith's work was either not published or was published by J. W. Randolph in 1853 without mention of Smith's editorial work. [92]
