Thomas jefferson had been a MEM
ber of the Virginia house of bur-
gesses and of the continental con-
gress; governor of Virginia, minister
to France, negotiator of the Louisi-
ana Purchase, secretary of state,
vice president and president of the
United States, but none of these
honors did he wish inscribed upon his
tombstone. The stern old democrat
preferred, instead, as passports to
immortality, remembrance OF his ad-
vocacy of the rights of man, religious
| liberty and universal education.
Thomas jefferson died bankrupt.
Beautiful Monticello passed into the
hands of strangers and the simple
gravestone was neglected and mutt
