The Wormsloe Quartos were printed over six volumes between 1847 and 1886. The first four volumes were the direct work of historian George Wymberley Jones De Renne (1827–1880), who printed them at his press at Wormsloe Plantation near Savannah, Georgia. In the eyes of noted author Charles Colcock Jones Jr., the second, titled History of the Province of Georgia, was his most valuable.Savannah Morning News, September 8, 1880 At the request of De Renne's widow, Mary, Jones edited the final two quartos, a compendium of unpublished colonial laws in Georgia (1881) and a journal of John James Perceval, 3rd Earl of Egmont (1886).
