Excerpt from Celebration of the Birth-Day of Thomas Jefferson The second of April, 1743, was his birth. Day; eleven years after Washington was'born, and ten years before their native colo ny was exposed to that savage warfare, in which the great American General took his first lessons in the art of war. His birth-place was in the charming valley of the Rivanna, a rich and luxuriant section of Virginia. In which are combined the gran deur of mountain scenery, and the subdued and placid beauty of woodland, valley and plain. It was a bounteous and enobling prospect upon which the eyes of Jefferson first opened. The fertile lands which lay around him, inspired him with a love of ru ral life, with its large instincts, its deep love of country, its love of everything that lives and moves, its love of the land; while the towering mountains which encircled his home, stood there as types of the majesty and elevation of human thought. The wind which sighed through the sounding aisles of that old primeval forest, the storm which burst in madness from the hills, the mur muring stream tracing its way through lands. Untrod by man, the broad acres of his father's farm, the budding and growing and harvesting and reposing year, the Spring time promise and the golden October sun, the birds of the air and the beasts of the field, all breathed into his mind a large and abounding sense of freedom.

When it was granted by King John in 1215, the Magna Carta was a practical solution to a political crisis. In the centuries since, it has become a potent symbol of liberty and the rule of law. Drawing on the rich historical collections of the British Library--including two original copies of Magna Carta from 1215--this book brings to life the history and contemporary resonance of this globally important document. It features treasured artifacts inspired by the rich legacy of Magna Carta, including Thomas Jefferson's handwritten draft of the Declaration of Independence and an original copy of the Bill of Rights.
Prepared in 1821. Apparently first published in the Memoir, correspondence, and miscellanies, from the papers of Thomas Jefferson, Charlottesville, 1829.
