Thomas Jefferson's Freethought Legacy : A Saying per Day by the Sage of Monticello

This delightful collection of quotes from Jefferson establishes, beyond dispute, his enormous contributions to rationalism, freethought and science. Often, what historians (and especially politicians) have done is to select those quotes that reflect conventional religiosity and beliefs. Here great care has been taken to exclude those quotes and to present, instead, Jefferson's freethought legacy. Readers are invited to meander through these pages enjoying the diverse and wide-ranging views of one of America's early intellectuals. Or, savor one quote each day and delight in Jefferson's well-reasoned thoughts for 365 days, and for years to come.
