Al length the public have q Life Of Thomas
Jefferson, that is not only fascinating and there
fore sure TO be popular, but one that will stand
the essential historic test-that of accuracy and
truthfulness. Its seen that the ground work
of the whole is authentic contemporary mate
rial. and that Of the highest order. To gather
it has been the work of years. We would not
compare this volume with that inimitable and
Incompatible biography of Boswell, and yet so
faithful is the portraiture that Jefferson is made
to draw of himself, that his nature, his very
soul, is delineated with distinctness not unlike
that in which Johnson stands out in the pages

lmbued with that enthusiastic admiration of
bis subject, without which biegrapher is rarely
successful, Mr.. Randall, nevertheless, does not
seek to hide whatever faults he may find, either
from himself or from the reader. He paints the

ted. "warts and all" The picture gains BY this
in life-like coloring, without losing any Of its
majestic roportions.-ALbGny Zoe. Jour
No one who runs his eye, however casually,
over this work, will fail to be satisfied that Mr..
Randall has added very largely to the stock of
the worlds information about Jefferson, that he
has had access to sources hitherto unexplored,
and that he has done more than was ever done
by any one before him to illustrate the PERSONAL

We have read with delight Mr.. Randall's
captivating details of Mr.. Jelferson's personal
history, which he has sedulously gathered, and
admirably grouped together, from great variety
of authentic sources hitherto unexplored. Out
of the tempting richness of his materials, the
able and clear sighted author has constructed

one that should be studied by every patriot of
the land Richmond Enq.
