Thanks. Take a look at the footnote. It pretty much says the book was thoroughly used by the congress and specifically in the Constitutional Convention.

I recall reading that the Dumas Copies had specific notes in the margins. I believe Franklin made some notes in one of the copies as well. Wouldn’t it be awesome if one of the copies used by the Constitutional Convention had notes indicating that was the specific source for the Natural Born citizen clause?
