To meet the need of a comprehensive and correct edition of the writings of Thomas Jefferson this work has been undertaken. Not content with relying upon the Jefferson MSS. in the Department of State, from which, substantially, the former editions were compiled, the present editor, while making full use of the records of the Department, has obtained many interesting documents from the papers of the Continental Congress; the archives of the State of Virginia; the files of the French Foreign Office ; the private papers of Washington, Adams, Madison, Monroe, Steuben, and Gates; as well as from many State archives, historical societies, and private collections throughout the country; the present possessor of the private papers of Jefferson has, with the greatest generosity, allowed the editor to obtain copies of the most important of that collection; and the editor has been fortunate enough to purchase Jefferson's own set of the public documents covering the period of his presidency, thus obtaining an unequalled series of his messages and other public papers.
