Excerpt from Selections From the Most Valuable Portions of His Voluminous and Unrivalled: Private Correspondence

The materials for this volume are principally derived from the posthumous works of Mr Jefferson himself. These works were received with extraordinary 'approba~ tion by one great portion of the public, as was the case indeed with every thing which ever canine from that re markable man, and by another considerable portion, with a corresponding degree of dissatisfaction, always to be expected from the well known Opinions of the Author on certain fundamental points, upon which a strongly marked division of public sentiment has pre vailed, since the foundation of the federal government.
