First edition of first collection of Jefferson's writings. One of three recommended bibliographic sources, the Encyclopedia Britannica (14th) says 'All these overlap, none is exhaustive. a great body of mss. remains unprinted'. True first editions, both with Charlottesville imprints. Just a handful or less of instances of bracketing in light pencil. Still tightly bound. Pages bright with no foxing to text area. Several pages show browning to outer fore-edge.

Thomas Jefferson Randolph was the eldest grandson of President Thomas Jefferson, who helped manage Monticello near the end of his grandfather's life and was executor of his estate. Because the estate was heavily encumbered by debt, Randolph ordered the sale of Monticello goods and property, including the 130 slaves. His mother withheld Sally Hemings from the auction and gave her time, which informally allowed her to live freely in Charlottesville, Virginia with her two younger sons. Jefferson had formally freed Madison and Eston in his will, after allowing their older brother and sister to escape in 1822; the four Hemings were the only complete slave family to go free from Monticello. Very Good. Hardcover. 						$1,700
