Relative to the murder of Logan's family.This American classic is the only full-length book written and published by Thomas Jefferson during his lifetime. Written in 1781, Notes on the State of Virginia was begun by Jefferson as a commentary on the resources and institutions of his home state, but the work's lasting value lies in its delineation of Jefferson's major philosophical, political, scientific, and ethical beliefs. Along with his accounts of such factual matters as North American flora and fauna, Jefferson expounds his views on slavery, education, religious freedom, representative government, and the separation of church and state. The book is the best single statement of Jefferson's principles and the best reflection of his wide-ranging tastes and talents.Published for the Omohundro Institute of Early American History and Culture, Williamsburg, VirginiaVirginiaEarly works to 1800973.460924Jefferson Thomas411760Peden William(William Harwood),1913-1999Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture.MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910809776803321Notes on the State of Virginia4071858UNINA
