Présentation de l'éditeur :
But to-day their merit alone remains, acknowledged by all. No one contests Benjamin Franklin sposition as our first great statesman, philosopher, and scientist the man who raised common sense to the level of genius, and made the name America known and respected in the world. Few to-day, even though they may detest his politics, would deny to Alex ander Hamilton the title of the master genius of American finance or refuse to acknowledge the unique contribution of the Federalist to political theory. But Thomas Jefferson is still a subject for acrimonious criticism and chivalrous defense. The campaign controversies of the year 1800 have not yet died down to silence. The perpetuation or the refutation of slanders, objurgations, innuendoes occupies even the latest of Jefferson sbiographers. The very men often who acclaim him cannot refrain from sneers; and even his bitter political enemies lean on his authority. A Populist senator of the last generation remarked that every opinion delivered in the Senate of the United States was backed by a quotation from Thomas Jefferson. His name is cited more often than any other in our political platforms, his portrait hangs with Wash ington sand Lincoln sin our convention halls, his principles are appealed to as the creed of every true A merican.
