Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of Thomas Jefferson Thomas Jefferson was one of the great representative heroes of the age in which he lived. He will always remain a very prominent and remarkable character in American history. Several biographies of him have already appeared; but they have not satisfied the wants of the reading public on the subject. They have mostly been partisan works, filled either with indiscriminate praise, or with wholesale censure. I have endeavored in the following pages to throw as much light as possible upon the career and character of Mr. Jefferson; and to aid in accomplishing this end, have quoted largely from his own writings, from his Anas, his Memoirs, and his Correspondence. It is true that these are represented by his opponents as containing many partial and discolored statements; but this objection will not apply to any of the quotations made in the present work. This book is neither a eulogy nor a tirade of censure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Jefferson the Virginian (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from Jefferson the Virginian Bout twenty years ago I promised myself that I would write a big book about Thomas Jefferson someday. I was teaching history at the University of Virginia, which he founded, and any time that I wanted to I could look up and see Monticello in the dim distance. In the community they continued to repeat a remark of a discerning Ex President of the United States who had once lectured there. In that place, said William Howard Taft, they still talked of Mr. Jefferson as though he were in the next room. 'he was there, unquestionably, whether or not any of us really understood what he was saying; and in youthful presumptuousness I flattered myself that sometime I would fully comprehend and encompass him. I do not claim that I have yet done so, and I do not believe that I or any other single person ever can. Nobody can live Jefferson's long and eventful life all over again, and nobody in our age is likely to match his universality. I have not devoted all these intervening years to him. Until his two hundredth anniversary in 1943, my longest period of concentrated at tention was about six months; otherwise I worked on him only as occa sion offered, and occasion offered considerably less time than I had expected. My total labors added up to a good many months but they suffered from the fact that they were discontinuous. I wrote a few things about him, but others wrote more, and my small contributions now seem hardly worth mentioning. Since 1943 I have been able to give most of my time to him, under circumstances which call for grateful acknowledgment elsewhere. As a result, here is a volume covering the first major period of his life. Another, covering a second period, is just behind it, and, God willing, there will eventually be two more after these. I have entitled the work as a whole Jefferson and H is Time, and am venturing to call it a comprehensive biography, hoping that it will seem reasonably commensurate with the achievements and the stature of the man.

Book Description
Excerpt from The True Thomas Jefferson In a personal letter to the author of this volume, who had requested of the Democratic editor some prefatory words, Henry Watterson says: I do not like to see two names upon a title page. But I will say this: Though not a hero worshipper, I am too good a partisan to question my principal; and Jefferson has been not alone my file-leader, but a guiding star in my political firmament. I am used to measure all systems, to try all causes, to deter mine all policies, by the rules laid down in his philosophy. To me he stands out, after Washing ton and Franklin, the one clear figure in our early history, a perfect Doric column: wanting the bril liant levity of Hamilton; the sturdy, but narrow, spirit of Adams; sure-footed and far-seeing; not merely a statesman of the first order, but a very principal in the domain of original thinking and moral forces. The minor circumstances of his private life may interest me, but could in no wise change my perspective, because I am fixed in the belief that he was an upright and disinterested man, who considered his dutv to his country before all else. Such inconsistencies as appear in his career are but proofs of this, Since he never can wholly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Life of Thomas Jefferson, Third President of the United States This volume originated in the desire that there should be one work upon Jefferson and his times within the reach of the mass of readers. It was intended to be smaller than it is but, in spite of a constant effort to be brief, it has grown to the proportions which the reader sees. For years I have wished, in some way, to recall attention to the points of difference between Jefferson and his opponents, because I think that the best chance of republican America is an adherence to the general line of politics of which he was the embodiment. If Jefferson was wrong, America is wrong. If America is right, Jefferson was right. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Master Thoughts of Thomas Jefferson (Classic Reprint)
Author: Benjamin S. CatchingPublisher:
ISBN: 9781440040313
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
Excerpt from Master Thoughts of Thomas Jefferson Thoughts which seize the heart and mind of men or Nations, which lift them above the necessary strife and sordid struggle of life and sweep them headlong into the accomplishment of some great public need; thoughts which fill a few scattered colonies with light and life, and spread with telling force into other lands and other worlds, driving kings of a thousand years from their thrones - these and all like them are the master thoughts of our time and race. Thomas Jefferson is known as a leader in the thought of his age. His principles command the attention of every political school, and it is necessary that all should have ready access to them. Thanks and recognition are due to The Jefferson Memorial Association and all others who have aided in gathering together his letters and papers. For it was upon these that Mr. Jefferson relied for the perpetuation of his ideals. In our days of concentrated effort, it is not possible for the average man to wade through twenty volumes of detail and routine correspondence. To meet this need, the following selections, given in his own language, arranged and classified for ready reference, and taken impartially from some ten thousand pages of documents and letters, are respectfully submitted. It is my belief that among them will be found for each reader some stirring call to arms, some bugle blast of thought, which will lead to renewed exertion, higher ideals, and more earnest service.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Biographical Sketch of Thomas Jefferson In these sentiments, bold as they were, his political asso ciates united with him; they considered that which was nomin directed against the colonies of New England alone, an attack on the liberties and rights of every other province. They resolved that the first of June, the day on which the operation of the Boston port bill was to commence, should be set apart by the members, as a day of fasting, humiliation and prayer; devoutly to implore the divine interposition, for averting the heavy calamities which threatened destruction to their civil rights, and the evils of a civil war; and to give them one heart and one mind, to oppose, by all just and proper means, every injury to Ame rican rights.
