S AN honor and compliment
" to the followers of Jefferson
~ and jackson, who were as
4 4 sembled in national conven-
ton at Philadelphia last week, DR..
A. S. w. Rosenbach. perhaps Amer
ica's most distinguished blbliophlle
and collector of rare books and manu-
scripts, contributed one of the most
interesting treats given to convention
visitors. Through the Mayor, Mr.. S.
Davis Wilson, there was opened to the
public at the Free Library collec-
ton of the great historic documents
of the Democratic Presidents, Ieffer-
son and Jackson, which were assem-
bled from DR.. Rosenbach's collection.
To those who have taken prom
inent part in the controversy which
recently has waXed warmer between
the two great political parties over
the doctrine of States rights there is
a particularly interesting and timely
piece Of Jeffersoniana in the exhibit:
The Kentucky Resolutions Of 1888"
In which Mr. Jefferson expounded
the doctrine of States Rights
DR.. Rosenbach seems to have Sc
lected with rare discrimination docu-
ments which were apropos of the COM
ing national campaign. A letter writ
ten by Thomas jefferson on July l,
l776. at the time he was drafting the
Declaration of independence, must
have been premonitory of what was to
come in later years when he was
bitterly asSailed for the position he
took on some Of the issues and poll
cies of his public career. In this
particular letter he writes: If any
doubt has arisen as to me, my coun-
try will have my political creed in the
form of a declaration which I was
lately directed to draw"

Old Tennessee
Historical Bible.
The Library of Congress is becom-
ing more and more of national Ii
brary, in fact as well as in theory,
as both States and individuals are
taking personal interest in the collec-
tions there and are donating their
treasures for preservation. This must
be pleasing and gratifying to the
librarian, Mr.. Herbert Putnam, under
whose management the Congressional
Library has grown by leaps and
bounds. He has gathered around him
a staff of men and women, many of
them distinguished In their special
line, who seem to have a personal
feeling about the work of the Library.
Just recently an old Bible. in which
the family records contain world of
the history and carving out of the
State of Tennessee of the eighteenth
century. was presented as gift to
the Library by the distinguished edu-
Gator, writer and lecturer, DR.. D.
Spence Hill, who was formally on the
associate staff of the Carnegie Founda-
ton.
This Bible, bound in the original
mellow brown leather, was the prop
erty of Dr.. Hills ancestor, the noted
Indian fighter and Revolutionary SOL
der, Gen James Robertson, called the
Father of Tennessee" who, with John
Sewer, settled the City of Nashville.
DR.. Hills more immediate ancestor
was Dr. Felix Robertson, the first child
born in Nashville Gen. Robertson
went to Tennessee in ITO from North
Carolina, 26 years before the State
vas admitted to the Union, and it
was in 1779 that he had planted a field
OF corn on the present site of the city
Of Nashville. The records in the
crusty- brown old Bible, which was the
generals constant companion during
the Indian Wars when the Cherokees
and the ChickaSaws waged endless
harassing battles in the Carolinas and
Tennessee, contain many of the dis
tinguished names in the South, and
are written in beautiful, legible char
acters, still clear. There are some
comments as we'll on the state OF the
times which are authentic and first
hand contributions to the history of
the time.

these toy books, which had just been
received as gift to the Library.
They we're from a lady in the New

The young readers who first handled
