N (DLC); entirely in TJ’s hand, written in a long, narrow column. This document is presented as literally as possible. The italicized words (except those in angle brackets) represent words written by TJ in a hand resembling print, a device he frequently used for emphasis.

TJ later employed this list in preparing Query xiv of the Notes on Virginia, copying it almost verbatim in his discussion of the revised code (Ford, description begins Paul Leicester Ford, ed., The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, “Letterpress Edition,” N.Y., 1892–1899 description ends iii, 250–1). Compare this outline also with the section on crimes and punishments in the Plan Agreed upon by the Revisors at Fredericksburg (Document i in this series) and Bill No. 64. It is important to note that polygamy, though it fell under the drastic penalty set forth in Bill No. 64, was struck from the above list of crimes before that list was revised and employed in Notes on Virginia.
