Few men stand with as towering a stature in the annals of American
legend as THOMAS JEFFERSON (1743-1826). Author of the Declaration of
Independence and third president of the United States, he ranks as one
of the most significant of the United States' Founding Fathers, his
political philosophies continuing to impact the nation to this day. In
the late 19th century American biographer PAUL LEICESTER FORD
(1865-1902) assembled this collection of Jefferson's most important,
most influential, and most revealing writings. This replica of the
12-volume "Federal Edition" of 1904 is considered a masterpiece of
historical scholarship, praised for its attention to detail as well as
its objective dispassion toward its subject. Here, in Volume VI,
discover: - Jefferson's itinerary and chronology, 1789-1792 - letters
from 1789-1792 to such persons as James Madison, John Jay, Marquis De
Lafayette, Colonel Henry Lee, Noah Webster, and others - papers
including "Opinion on Foreign Debt," "Report on Western Lands," and
others.
