Richmond, Va.: J. W. Randolph, page vii. A map included with this edition does not appear here since there was no available scan of an undamaged copy. The “Topographical Analysis” at the end of the original book is also omitted in this Wikisource edition: it does not appear to be Jefferson's material.
