During the nine years covered by this volume, Jefferson was in retirement from the end of 1793 till he assumed the Vice-Presidency in 1797. In Jefferson's times the campaigns are dispatched in a few paragraphs. He did next to nothing in the campaigns of 1796 and 1800 and so those campaigns take little space in this volume. These volumes are satisfactory reading. no reviews | add a review
