Excerpt from The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. 12: Literary Edition True to his convictions, shown by every public and private act, the sworn enemy of parade, sham and ostentation, the stern old Democrat wanted, living or dead, none of the tinsel and trappings of heraldic pomp or titular glory. He named for himself his passports to immortality - the rights of man, religious liberty, and universal education. Jefferson was charged by the enemies who pursued him during life, and assailed his memory after death, with being a communist who appealed to the ignorant and poor against the educated and wealthy. He was by birth, lineage, education, and association, an aristocrat. He had in his. veins the blue blood of the Randolphs, who, as Jefferson tells us in his Autobiography, "trace their pedigree far back in England and Scotland, to which let everyone ascribe the faith and merit he chooses." Besides, he was born a land and slave owner, educated at the College of William and Mary, an institution established and endowed by royalty, and when a student in the old town of Williamsburg, the first capital of Virginia, was the favorite protege of Francis Fauquier, the royal governor, at whose table he was a constant guest.

Excerpt from The Works of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. 1 of 12 But if the people embody the total Of human thought and experience, as our political theories maintain, there are better reasons than these for his elevation, and for the political in uence his name has carried for over one hundred years - better reasons than the leadership Of a party, or a fine-spun theory Of the respective powers of the state and national governments. The explanation Of these ap parent anomalies lies deeper than any mere matter Of individuality, party success, or rigid political plat form. TO understand why Jefferson became a man Of the people, and for what reasons and pur poses they made him their leader, we must study certain forces and tendencies then working in America.

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 X, discover: [ Jefferson's itinerary and chronology, 1803-1807 [ letters from 1803-1807 to such persons as William Duane, John Dickinson, De Witt Clinton, Mrs. John Adams, Albert Gallatin, Thomas Paine, Levi Lincoln, and others [ papers including "Drafts of an Amendment to the Constitution," "Rules of Etiquette," and others.
