⁂ The first mentioned lists Aaron Burr among its subscribers—an American statesman who served as the third vice president of the United States and is historically known for killing Alexander Hamilton in their 1804 duel. The work is also dedicated to George Washington. The second mentioned was owned by Charles C. Haight, a New York–based architect who designed most of Columbia College’s former Madison Avenue campus, many enduring buildings at Yale University, and the master plan and several structures for the General Theological Seminary in Chelsea. His books were inherited from his father, Benjamin I. Haight, a prominent nineteenth-century Episcopal priest, author, seminary professor, and the first Custodian of the Standard Book of Common Prayer in the United States.
