Notes on the State of Virginia

Thomas Jefferson, 1787

JEFFERSON, Thomas (1743-1826). Notes on the State of Virginia. London: John Stockdale, 1787.



Handsome, tall copy of the first English edition, following the privately printed, extremely rare first edition (Paris, 1785) and a poor French translation (Paris, 1786). This edition contains new accounts of events during and since the Revolution, and features the map engraved at Jefferson's request to incorporate the most up-to-date topographical data on the soon-to-be-opened Ohio Valley. Two of the three appendices are of considerable significance; these were issued as supplements with a few copies of the original edition, but are integral to this edition. Appendix II contains the full text of the proposed Virginia constitution, while Appendix III contains the Virginia act for establishing religious freedom, passed in 1786. ESTC T147402; Howes J-78; Sabin 35896.

Octavo (220 x 143mm). With final blank. (Very small edge tear from Advertisement leaf and a few others.) Large folding map of Virginia handcolored in outline (some offsetting), woodcut cave plan, folding chart. Late 19th or early 20th century half morocco gilt by Bradstreet, top edge gilt, other edges untrimmed.
