The Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Retirement Series, Volume 17
Author: Thomas Jefferson
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691207941
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 800
Book Description
A definitive scholarly edition of the retirement papers of Thomas Jefferson The 612 documents in this volume include Jefferson’s notes on his early career, one of the lengthiest documents of his retirement. Often misleadingly called his autobiography, the text describes Jefferson’s experience as an American revolutionary, a legislator shaping and revising Virginia’s laws, and a United States diplomat in France as its own revolution neared. Jefferson sits for a portrait by Thomas Sully commissioned for West Point. He takes the unusual step of allowing his recommendation of a book by John Taylor to be published, insuring a wide circulation of Jefferson’s views on the proper balance between state and federal powers. In a private letter he asserts that the federal judiciary is amassing overarching power, “ever acting, with noiseless foot, & unalarming advance, gaining ground step by step, and holding what it gains.” Jefferson receives a description of an African American commemoration of the nation’s 1807 ban on the importation of slaves. Jefferson advises that the opening of the University of Virginia is not imminent even as he oversees its construction and defends the high cost, stating as his goal, “to do, not what was to perish with ourselves, but what would remain, be respected and preserved thro’ other ages.”

Book Description
Excerpt from Report With Sundry Resolutions: Relative to Appropriations of Public Land for the Purposes of Education, to the Senate of Maryland, January 30, 1821 The Committee to whom was referred much of the Governor's message, as relates to education and public instruction, begleave to report - That they concur with his excellency in believing education, and a general diffusion of knowledge, in a government constituted like ours, to be of great importance, and that "in proportion as the structure of a government gives weight to public opinion, it is essential that public opinion should be enlightened." Your committee consider our government as emphatically a government of opinion. A general diffusion of knowledge, which is essential to its right administration, cannot be effected, unless the people are educated. No high degree of civilization, of moral power and dignity, or of intellectual excellence; no superiority in science, in literature, or in liberal and useful arts, which constitutes the noblest national supremacy, can be attained without the aid of seminaries of learning. The establishment of literary institutions, then, of all grades, from the common school, up to the university, becomes the first duty of the legislature of a free people. Your committee are well aware of the difficulty, in the present embarrassed state of our pecuniary concerns, of providing the means of making education general.
