This article presents the book "Life and Letters of Thomas Jefferson," by Francis W. Hirst. This book is somewhat homiletic in character. Before the eyes of a reactionary and oligarchical world Mr. Hirst would project the figure of the lovable apostle of democracy in the hope of creating a more favorable attitude of mind toward popular government. The form of the biography is that of the well-known English variety--a narrative interspersed with long extracts from the writings of the subject. The principal difficulty which the author, who is an economist, has had to overcome is an ignorance of American history.
