Worth: points - Particulars)


An mental dialogue of the best aircraft achieved in America, the correspondence between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson spanned half a century and embraced authorities, philosophy, faith, quotidiana, and household griefs and joys. First assembly as delegates to the Continental Congress in 1775, they initiated correspondence in 1777, negotiated collectively as ministers in Europe within the 1780s, and served the early Republic–each, finally, in its highest workplace. At Jefferson’s defeat of Adams for the presidency in 1800, they grew to become estranged, and the correspondence lapses from 1801 to 1812, then is renewed till the loss of life of each in 1826, fifty years to the day after the Declaration of Independence.

Lester J. Cappon’s version, first printed in 1959 in two volumes, gives the entire correspondence between these two males and contains the correspondence between Abigail Adams and Jefferson. Many of those letters have been printed in no different fashionable version, nor does another version dedicate itself solely to the alternate between Jefferson and the Adamses. Introduction, headnotes, and footnotes inform the reader with out interrupting the audio system. This reissue of
The Adams-Jefferson Letters in a one-volume unabridged version brings to a broader viewers one of many monuments of American scholarship and, to cite C. Vann Woodward, ‘a significant treasure of nationwide literature.’
