This was ordered by Jefferson for the University in the section on "Technical
Arts" of the want list, but there is no record of the library's ever
having received a copy. Jefferson sold his own copy, or at least a part of
it, to Congress. The British Museum description, rather than Sowerby's
annotation on the above edition, has been given here.
