Atiensth the public have fdfe Of Thomas

theessential historic test-that Of accuracy ana
truthfHineSa, Il is seen tEsyx the groundwork
Of the whole is authentic contemporary mate
rid. and that OF the highest order. To gather
it has been the work of years. We would not
compare this volume with that inimitable aud
incompatible biography Of Boswell, and ret 50
faithful isthe portraiture that Jefferson is made
to draw Of himself, that his nature, his very
soul, is delinested with dstinetness not unlike
that in which Johnson stands out in the pages
of Boswell Boston Post.
Imbued with that enthusiastic admiration of
his subject, without which biOgFapher is rarely
successful, Mr.. Randall, eytheleSs, does not
seek TO hide whatever faults he may find, either
from himself or fromtlle reader. He paints the
picture as Cromwell insisted hts shUiid be pain

No one who runs his eye, however casually,
over this work, will fail to be satisfied that Mr.
Randall has added very largely to TIE stock OF
the worlds information abOu1 JefseEsoas that he

We have read with delight Mr.. Randall's
captivating details Of Mr.. Jefferson's personal
history, which he has Sedulously gathered and
admirably grouped Together from great variety
of authentic SOURCES hitherto unexplored. Out
