Notes on the State of Virginia

by JEFFERSON, Thomas

  • Used
1794. JEFFERSON, Thomas. Notes on the State of Virginia. Philadelphia: Printed for Mathew Carey, 1794. [4],336pp. plus folding table and folding map. Modern three-quarter calf and marbled boards, spine gilt with leather label. 19th-century ownership inscription on front pastedown. Folding map tipped on new stub, repaired at gutter margin with tape. 19th-century ownership inscription on titlepage, minor toning and foxing. Very good. The rare thick paper issue of the second American edition of Jefferson's famous work, and the first American edition to contain a map. This is the only book-length work by Jefferson to be published in his lifetime, and has been called "one of America's first permanent literary and intellectual landmarks." It was largely written in 1781 and first published in Paris, in French, in 1785, then published in English in London in 1787. Written in the form of answers to questions about Virginia, the book supplies a description of the geography, with an abundance of supporting material and unusual information. As J.M. Edelstein notes: "Jefferson wrote about things which interested him deeply and about which he knew a great deal; the NOTES, therefore, throws a fascinating light on his tastes, curiosities, and political and social opinions." The map which accompanies this edition was executed by Samuel Lewis and depicts Virginia in considerable detail. The story of the creation of this book and its publishing history is an interesting one. It is told fully by Millicent Sowerby in her catalogue of Jefferson's library, where it occupies some thirty pages in small type. This edition includes appendices containing Charles Thomson's notes on Jefferson's original text, his "Draught of a Fundamental Constitution for the Commonwealth of Virginia" and "An Act for Establishing Religious Freedom." The table describes Indian tribes of Virginia.HOWES J78. SABIN 35898. CLARK I:262. SOWERBY, JEFFERSON'S LIBRARY 4167. ADAMS, THE EYE OF THOMAS JEFFERSON 57. EVANS 27162.
