rzed 10 state, that the prospectus Tor the p,blica-
ton OF the Mss of the late Thomas Jefferson vii.
De offered tor subscription month, and that IL
is contemplate TO deliver the work to subscribers
early next summer. These papers werc for the
most part noted for publication and arranged chro-
noosically by the author, during his liie and thci,
designated to the person TO whom they were after
wards consigned at his DEATH
they are miscellaneous in their character, con-
ss'ing OF memoir OF himself, terminating in the
year iISy, when no became Secretary OF State TO
1eh ashngton, and volu;ninous corrcspon-
dcnce from 1873 to his death. An his letter. will

YER only 10 omit those which relate TO the private f
iars OF himself others, the ordinary details uf
business, and to olier to the public ALL which, in
any manner, indicate his views, feelings, and prin
ciples, in regard TO subjects OF general Interest,
whether moral or political We believe that in
these papers, the Moraiist, the Philosopher and
the Politician, viii find much 10 auluse instruct

We rejoice at the prospect OF an early publica-
ton OF this work, because, amongst cher reasons,
| OF the varied constructions at this 'nc given
the opinions OF MIR. Jefferson tending TO induce
the Belief that he was not always consistent. The
great political rctorIner will now speak for himself
III his own decisive ami energetic language, pro-
mitigating his own bold and ncontrovertible doc
irines We 60 not expect that the proposed publ
cation will be alike agreeable TO ALL lie who at
teinpts TO reform enghten mankind, must ever
be opposed by Ignorance, bi,otry and interested
zeal, and while in other countries the Altar and
the Throne form the rallying points OF opposition TO
every nnoy alton upon e.istinr ahuses,--in this
the same motives operate scarcely less ciiectually
without the aid OF power or pricstcrait. But by
the friends OF human liberty, 1t will be duly APP
preciated, and must einphatcay become the text
boo; OF republicanism.
1t is supposed that the work will comprise three
octave volumes of about 500 pages each; and it
viii be accompanied by portrait OF the author,
and fac siniie ofthe Declaration of independence
as originally prepared, and of the subsequent alte-
rations made by the different members of the Com
