Product Review
The publication, in full and integrated form, of the remarkable correspondence between these two eminent men is a notable event.
Dumas Malone,
New York Times Book Review
[This] is a correspondence that covers all topics; . . that reveals both of these statesmen and philosophers at their most felicitous.
Henry Steele Commager
A major treasure of national literature.
C. Vann Woodward, Key Reporter
Reader Reviews
When Jefferson and the Adamses retired from public life, the result was the basis for this wonderful little book. Lester Cappon has produced one of the gems of scholarship on the autumn relationship of Adams and Jefferson. Perhaps the greatest testament to the scholarship and skill of the editor is the fact that this book has remained in print continuously since 1959. Though unlikely ever to score the impressive sales record of the recent biography of John Adams, this work is for those interested readers who want to learn more about the early days of the republic. One warning, the participants were all products of the 18th century. One should not be misled by the formality of the prose (any more than one should be misled by the gushy emotionalism of the victorian era). Adams reveals himself (this was his justification for his life and beliefs) in a straight forward manner. Jefferson, tells us more about himself by his personality by his lack of candor.
