A large folio with this binder's title was sold by Jefferson to Congress.
Sowerby's note on it gives the known details. In 1805 it was bound into
an atlas 16 by 25 inches. Before April 10, 1791, the collection contained

Plate LXXIV. From No. 76. "A View of the three Temples, taken from the East" (Tab. II).

Plate LXXV. From No. 76. "A View of the Hexastyle Ipteral Temple, taken from
the South" (Tab. VII).

Plate LXXVI. From No. 76. "A View of the Hexastyle Peripteral Temple, taken
from the North West" (Tab. XV).

plans of Frankfurt am Main, Karlsruhe, Amsterdam, Strasbourg, Paris,
Orléans, Bordeaux, Lyons, Montpelier, Marseilles, Turin, and Milan.
Some of Jefferson's later purchases of American maps are also detailed
by Sowerby, though the chief group of these may have remained in
Jefferson's private library until his death. Compare, for example, lot
347 in the 1829 sale catalogue, Plans and Forts of America, 8vo. No such
group of plans was ordered for the University.
