"Notes on the State of Virginia" was the only full-length book by Thomas Jefferson published during his lifetime. Having been first published anonymously in a private printing in Paris in 1784, "Notes on the State of Virginia" was later made available to the general public in a 1787 printing in England. Considered one of the most important American books published before the turn of the 19th century, the book deals extensively with important political, legal, and constitutional principles such as the separation of church and state, constitutional government, checks and balances, and individual liberty. "Notes on the State of Virginia" is essentially a discussion of what constitutes "good society", which Jefferson believed Virginia to be an example of. Filled with an extensive compilation of data this work represents an important primary source from one the most important American figures to ever have lived.

"This is a Bedford book that is long overdue, and David Waldstreicher is a superb choice as editor. This new edition of Notes on the State of Virginia is informed by the more recent scholarship on Jefferson, which the editor knows cold, and it will attract a substantial audience among college teachers, yours truly included." --此文字指其他 kindle_edition 版本。

One of those shocking books I'll always be glad I read

2020年9月5日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

This key historical document was required for a class on southern slavery but until now I never saw a reason to actually read the dry old 18th century document.

Let me begin by stating the book beats Huckleberry Finn, To Kill a Mockingbird, and Catcher in the Rye for how is it anyone is ALLOWED to read this book. It is one of the more shocking things I've ever read in my life. Some things were required just so we could see what thoroughly sick and disgusting people the southern planter elite were.

One does get a clear understanding of what DID go on in Jefferson's mind. He was well educated and a good writer, and liberal by the standards of his time, but- ooh, la, la.

I did not read every word. Some things that stoox out: He wrote in detail about Indians without knowing a thing about them and didn't think they were fully human though they did hsve some basic rights. Black people innately have no emotions. He wrote pages about two Albino women. When they had children with Black men their offspring had odd white spots in various places. He essentially thought Black people are a curiosity. (He wrote at great length about every aspect of the natural world so just couldn't leave out the subhuman people.) White European craftsmen need to be kept in Europe and our colonies just import the finished goods, on account we don't need the effects of their coarse ways!

The general tone and content of the book reveal Jefferson to be as foggy headed and generally sick as many a liberal upper middle class American. Not only is it no surprise he slept with Sally Hemmings, I'd expect him to have slept with his children as well! Yick in capital letters!

Jefferson at his Best- Well, Maybe Not His VERY Best

2020年12月21日 - 已在美国亚马逊上发表

Well there WAS that Declaration of Independence thing. Put this was a surprisingly enjoyable , readable and informative book about the state of Virginia which gave ample evidence of the analytic mind of Jefferson.

Invests euro when so many of us seem to hold people liable for having opinions that are socially out of date today, I found it surprising to see opinions from Jefferson on the slavery issue which appeared to be very progressive. This is especially so considering that these opinions are nearly 2 and a 1/2 centuries old. It would be a good idea to keep in mind that even in some of the opinions which would not be at all acceptable today were acceptable to many people not that long ago.

Jefferson covers plenty of ground, much of it fascinating in describing his state. Glad I read it.

Buyer beware

I bought this book from Amazon several years ago and it appears the ad hasn't changed so I will leave my review of the copy I received.

1. The book content is what it is. Jefferson held some views considered very racist in today's world. Keep in mind that this book was published before the Constitution of the United States was ratified. You don't read a book like this looking for insight on how the world should be organized now, you read it looking for insight on how Jefferson thought it should be organized back then. Jefferson spills a lot of ink talking about animals, plants, etc, but he does have a few chapters on political and social science worth reading for historical context as long as you can stomach his remarks about race. Stomaching them isn't the same as agreeing with them. Jefferson was a man of the enlightenment but he was also a man of the 1700's, and when it came to race the 1700's Jefferson won out unfortunately.

2. Research the actual copy you are buying. I bought the one pictured in the ad and it was a horrible reproduction. The binding was solid enough, but it looks like they just took a scanned copy off of the Internet Archive and did a quick CTRL+C and CTRL+V into a blank Microsoft word document. Tables, footnotes, page numbers, all are interspersed throughout the book as one long wall of text with no attempts at reproducing the actual book Jefferson wrote. I found myself reading the book only to get lost in a wall of French text for two pages only to pick back up mid-sentence afterwards in English where he left off before the French started. Turns out the French was meant to be a footnote if you look at scanned copies of the original but in a hasty copy-past job those details were lost.

Like I said I bought this book several years ago, so maybe they have fixed this problem, but if the photo on the ad is any indication than it does not appear so.
