From James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, 10 September 1824
To Thomas Jefferson
Montpellier Sepr. 10. 1824
Dear Sir
On the rect. of yours of Aug. 8. I turned my thoughts to its request on the subject of a Theological Catalogue for the Library of the University: and not being aware that so early an answer was wished, as I now find was the case, I had proceeded very leisurely in noting such Authors as seemed proper for the Collection. Supposing also, that altho’ Theology was not to be taught in the University, its Library ought to contain pretty full information for such as might voluntarily seek it in that branch of Learning, I had contemplated, as much of a comprehensive & systematic selection as my scanty materials admitted; and had gone thro the five first Centuries of Xnity, when yours of the 3d. instant came to hand which was the evening before the last. This conveyed to me more distinctly the limited object your letter had in view, and relieved me from a task which I found extremely tedious; especially considering the intermixture of the doctrinal & controversial part of Divinity with the metaphysical & moral part; and the immense extent of the whole. I send you the list I had made out, with an addition on the same paper, of such Books as a hasty glance at a few catalogues, & my recollection suggested. Perhaps some of them may not have occurred to you and may suit the blank you have not filled. I am sorry I could not make a fair copy, without failing to comply with the time pointed out.
I find by a letter from Fayette in answer to a few lines I wrote him on his arrival at N.Y.1 that he means to see us before the 19th. of Ocr. as you have probably learned from himself. His visit to the U.S. will make an Annus Mirabilis in the history of Liberty. Affectionately yours.
James Madison

The Catalogue of Eastburn & Co. New York,131 particularly the Theological part at the end, deserves attention. Some rare books are found in it, and might probably be bought at cheap prices.
RC, enclosure, and draft (DLC). RC docketed by Jefferson “recd. Sept. 10.”; printed in , 3:450–51, under date 20 Sept. 1824. Minor differences between the copies have not been noted. In those instances where JM lists only the name of the author, the editors have chosen works for which the individual is most noted. In other cases where JM specifies a particular edition, and it has not been possible to locate that copy, the editors have cited the closest possible to that date and format. Sources used were the English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC), the Union Catalogue of France (CCfr/BNF), and the Union Catalogue of Germany (Deutsche Digitale Bibliothek) as well as the two catalogues JM mentioned in his letter and enclosure (Eastburn & Company, A Catalogue of Books for 1817 … 1818; Including Many Rare and Valuable Articles in Ancient and Modern Literature … [New York, 1817] and Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, A Catalogue of an Extensive Collection of Old Books … in the Ancient and Modern Languages … [London, 1816]). The editors wish to thank David Griffin of the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Virginia for his help with this annotation.
1. The letter has not been found, but JM’s letter to Lafayette was dated 21 Aug. 1824.
2. For the Polyglot Bible, see Jefferson to JM, 8 Aug., and JM to Jefferson, 16 Aug. 1824.

18. JM duplicated this entry; for Tatian, see n. 12 above.
19. Ammonius of Alexandria, Harmonia Quatuor Evangeliorum juxta Sectiones Ammonianas et Eusebii Canones. (Oxford, 1805). JM appears to have confused the Christian Ammonius of Alexandria, who wrote the Harmony of the Gospels, with the Neoplatonist Ammonius Saccas. This confusion dates back to antiquity in Eusebius’s Ecclesiastical History. Furthermore, JM seems to be conflating the title of Ammonius’s work with a Gospel harmony that Augustine of Hippo wrote, De Concordia Evangelisticarum.
