Excerpt from Delaplaine's Repository of the Lives and Portraits of Distinguished American Characters, Vol. 1: Part II
Who is he that has ever read a transaction in history, without etching out, in his fancy, portraits Of the persons concerned?

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Thomas Jefferson, an American statesman who served as the third president of the United States, is remembered as a philosopher, public official, lawyer, architect, and inventor. This book explores Jefferson's life over the course of eight chapters, from his upbringing and early years to his death in 1826. We see Jefferson as a young law student and politician, an advocate against British tyranny during the American Revolution, a leader in the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, and a champion of religious freedom and other Enlightenment values. The author of this book reveals Jefferson's profound impact on the development of the new nation's institutions, laws, and architecture, and offers a complex portrait of a man who was both revered and vilified.
