"EVERY AMERICAN SHOULD READ IT."
—The News, Providence.
The Life and Times of Thomas Jefferson.
By THOMAS E. WATSON, Author of "The Story of
France," "Napoleon," etc. Illustrated with many Portraits
and Views. 8vo. Attractively bound, $2.50 net; postage,
17 cents additional.
Mr. Watson long since acquired a national reputation in connection
with his political activities in Georgia. He startled the public soon
afterward by the publication of a history of France, which at once
attracted attention quite as marked, though different in kind. His book
became interesting not alone as the production of a Southern man
interested in politics, but as an entirely original conception of a great
theme. There was no question that a life of Jefferson from the hands of
such a writer would command very general attention, and the publishers
had no sooner announced the work as in preparation than negotiations
were begun with the author by two of the best-known newspapers in
America for its publication in serial form. During the past summer the
appearance of the story in this way has created widespread comment
which has now been drawn to the book just published.
Opinions by some of the Leading Papers.
"A vastly entertaining polemic. It directs attention to many undoubtedly
neglected facts which writers of the North have ignored or minimized."
—The New York Times Saturday Review of Books.
"A noble work. It may well stand on the shelf beside Morley's
'Gladstone' and other epochal biographical works that have come into
prominence. It is deeply interesting and thoroughly fair and just."
—The Globe-Democrat, St. Louis.
"The book shows great research and is as complete as it could possibly be,
and every American should read it."—The News, Providence.
"A unique historical work."—The Commercial Advertiser, New York.
"Valuable as an historical document and as a witness to certain great facts
in the past life of the South which have seldom been acknowledged by
historians."—The Post, Louisville.
