for the purchase of the fine arts books at the University
of Virginia. A few of the very volumes acquired by
Jefferson for the University's library have survived the
ravages of time and fire, and in recent years an effort has
been made to replace all books in the original group that
have not survived. Books ordered but never acquired are
also being searched for. Limited funds and limited opportunities
have left a list of works needed that is still a long
one, but a report on the projected reassembly is in order
for several reasons. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
