Synopsis
Jefferson either as of the great man or as of the statesman. My object is only to give a faithful picture of him as he was in private life to show that he was, as I have been taught to think of him by those who knew and loved him best, a beautiful domestic character. With this view I have collected the reminiscences of him which have been written by his daughter and grandchildren. From his correspondence, published and unpublished, I have culled his family letters, and here reproduce them as being the most faithful witnesses of the warmth of his affections, the elevation of his character, and the scrupulous fidelity with which he discharged the duties of every relation in life. I am well aware that the tale of Jefferson slife, both public and private, has been well told by the most faithful of biographers in Eandall s Life of Jefferson, and that much of what is contained in these pages will be found in that admirable work, which, from the authors zealous devotion to truth, and his indefatigable industry in collecting his materials, must ever stand chief among the most valuable contributions to American history. I propose, however, to give a sketch of Jefferson sprivate life in a briefer form than it can be found in either the thirteen volumes of the two editions of his published correspondence, or in the three stout octavo volumes of his Life by Randall.
