The first definite statement of JEFF.
ferson's purpose 70 prepare such a
work is contained in a letter written
a century ago in which he speaks of
having obtained from Philadelphia
two Greek and two English Tesla
ments, the same editions, with a de-
sign to cut out the morsels of morality
and paste them on the leaves of
book" On April 10, 1903, he wrote
to Edward Dowse that he considered
the moral precepts Of Jesus more
pure. correct and sublime than those
Of the ancient philosophers.
On April p. 1903, he wrote to DR..
Benjamin Rush an estimate of the
merits Of the doctrines Of Jesus. II
was intended for DR.. Rush's private
consideration and was accompanied
by a few lines I'm which the writer
said: In confding it to you know
