The Domestic Life of Thomas Jefferson
$3.00
By UNIVERSITY TRESS
SOME of us have seen too much of earth to long deeply for its sublimation in Heaven, but there is one lure that might well drag dissenters thither — to see the great and good as they really were, slippers, dressing gowns, and all. There is a foretaste of this pleasure tor all Americans who are fortunate enough to read The Domestic Life of Thomas Jefferson, compiled from original family letters in the seventies by his granddaughter, Sarah N. Randolph, and now most usefully resurrected by Mrs. Alexander McAdie. In the whole gallery of familiar portraits there are few more delightful and none more human. This is no Jefferson of the Declaration of Independence, but the Jefferson of enveloping affections and infinite zest; learner, teacher, scholar; adorer of wife, children, grandchildren and home; friend of the human race, wise, kind, and good.
