add to cart   close window

The article focuses on the "Notes on Virginia," which answers a series of questions concerning Virginia. It was at the time of its production, a notable contribution to American scientific writing was made, and perhaps it is the most frequently reprinted book ever written in the U.S. In spite of its reputation, the author is surprised to find how little was known concerning its true history, and how important a comparison of the various editions was for a proper use of the book. Criticisms of Constitution of Virginia has been toned down before printing. The original proof sheets of the first edition are preserved in the New York State Library at Albany.
