This book is a companion to the author's previous volume, Thirty-Six Short Essays on the Probing Mind of Thomas Jefferson. It provides the reader with new short essays on Jefferson thoughts on political philosophy and religion and morality. There are, in addition, 10 essays on Jeffersonian historiography, as Jefferson, it is commonly complained, is an exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, task, for any historian. The book is crafted both to entertain-the essays are brisk and lively-and to enlighten. The essays are provocative and critical, and take the reader deep within the recesses of Jefferson's large mind, while also highlighting that Jefferson is still quite relevant today.
