Thomas Jefferson Collection (5 vols.)

When John Adams was asked to draft the Declaration of Independence, he famously quipped that it should be Thomas Jefferson, not himself, writing the Declaration. Adams provided three reasons: Jefferson was a Virginian, Adams was “obnoxious, suspected, and unpopular” while Jefferson was “very much otherwise,” and “you [Jefferson] can write ten times better than I [Adams] can.” Seventeen days later Jefferson produced the first draft of what would become one of history’s best-known documents on political philosophy and human rights. The Thomas Jefferson Collection includes Jefferson’s extended treatise describing the just society, Notes on the State of Virginia, his autobiography, and three classic biographical volumes examining the life and legacy of the United States’ third president, and first national mouthpiece.
