Thomas Jefferson by Edward S. Ellis is a biography of one of America's most iconic Founding Fathers. The book provides an in-depth look at Jefferson's life, from his childhood in Virginia to his role as the third President of the United States. The author delves into Jefferson's political beliefs, his contributions to the American Revolution, his role in drafting the Declaration of Independence, and his efforts to shape the young nation's government. The book also explores Jefferson's personal life, including his relationships with his family, his controversial views on slavery, and his intellectual pursuits. Drawing on primary sources and historical documents, Thomas Jefferson offers a comprehensive and engaging portrait of a complex and influential figure in American history.Jefferson's committee abolished the frightful penalties of the ancient code; he set on foot the movement for the improvement of public education; he drew the bill for the establishment of courts of law in the State, and prescribing their methods and powers; he destroyed the principle of primogeniture, and brought about the removal of the capital from Williamsburg to Richmond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
