Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. 14 As one glances around this room, one is prompted to say in the last words of John Adams, "Thomas Jefferson still survives." The spirit of the Great Commoner is abroad in the land, and a grateful nation pays its tribute to-night. That we may have a clear and lucid understanding of the immense influence exercised by Jefferson, not only in his own day, but upon all subsequent times, it is necessary to define his environment. Neither Washington, Jefferson nor Madison was of Virginia´s elect, nor did they come from the landed aristocracy. Jefferson came upon the stage of active affairs at a time when Virginia was under the domination of a roystering, gambling, hoidenish aristocracy. The law of entail, the right of the first-born to inherit, and the established church confronted him. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
