Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Thomas Jefferson His Permanent Influence on American Institutions I wrote and delivered these lectures not only in great haste but under great pressure. At the time the promise to deliver them was made. Congress was expected to adjourn about the middle of June. It adjourned about the first of September. This subtracted two and one-half months from my time. I deemed it my duty later to devote two and one-half weeks of the time remaining to campaign field work in behalf of the election to the Presidency of one of Mr. Jefferson´s successors. Governor Woodrow Wilson. The natural inference from all this is that the work may, and probably does, contain errors. I have sought as much as possible to bring the past bodily into the present by quotations from dead actors. The reader will find a very free use of italics. It is not good taste; but the hearer was thereby spared much hearing, and the reader will be spared much reading. Italicizing the salient point of a quotation is my way of saving words of comment, which otherwise would be necessary. No man can entirely divorce himself from his likings and dislikings. I have tried to do it; but I have for long loved world democracy and its apostles, and disliked special privilege and its beneficiaries and upholders. There is no American about whom more has been written than Mr. Jefferson. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
