That copy was sold to Congress. Jefferson ordered the entire Bibliothèque
for the library in the section on "Architecture" of the want list,
but there is no record of its having been received. The present copy on
the University's shelves has been recently acquired, the gift of the
Thomas Jefferson Memorial Foundation.
