10 LITERATURE: Reviews of New Books). Tan Dowrsric Lirz oF THowss JEFFERSON. “Colt Sete ater fare meee jangt Tr, Ie ale yt gp Harper & Brothers, 1871. Small 8¥0, Pp. When Congress purchased the original papers of ‘Thomas Jefferson for the sum of $20,000, in the year | 1848, his grandson and executor, Thomas Jeferson Randoiph, delivered to the Department of State all ‘the letters, both public and private, with the stipu- dation reserved that after they had been used for a publication of tue writings of Jefferson by order of ‘Congress the papers which were found to be private 4m their character should be returned to the family. Years passed on, and the ‘Writings of Thomas Jef Jerson” appeared from the press, in 1853, 1m nine darge octavo volumes. Yet the immense material was unexhausted, though subsequently drawn upon targely by Mr. Henry 8. Randall, whose extensive biography of his illustrious subject appeared in three ‘Volumes in 1858, Indeea, the Jefferson papers were not only unexhausted, but we are disposed to think them almost inexhaustible. That great man was, Mike Washington and many other of the public obaracters of Revolutionary times, a slave of the pen. His voluminous correspondence included a large number of the men of his times most eminent for learning and public merit. He left behind nim at his death 26,000 tetters which he had taken the pains to preserve, besides over sixteen thousand oples of letters written by himself. Aad he wrote multitudes of which no copies were kept. ‘Tae heire of Jefferson made several applications to she State Department from 1855 to 1861 for the return of his private and family papers, but successive Secretarles doubted their power to part with them without Congressional legisiation, Meanwhile the war came on, and Virginia tried secession from the Union, and Jefferson’s papers still slept at tne State Department. Finally, in 1869, Thomas Jefferson Randolph petitioned Congress for the return of these family memorials, and a joint resolution was passed directing their return after Careful examination, and separating the papers Which were public in their character from the merely private letters, journals and accounts, The Fesiitution took place in the summer of 1870, and the handsome volume before us is the worthy first trait of the late recovery of these interesting pri- vate memoranda. The plan of the work is by no means an ambitious ‘one; and the author, who is a young lady of culti- ‘vated mind and a carefal pen, gives special promi- nence to the family cosrespoudence of her great an- cestor, Her style is as quiet and unpretending as it is possible for style to be, and, although she tughly compliments Mr. Randall upon the merits of bis magnum opus, the “Life of Jefferson," we think is ambitious ana frequently turbid rhetoric has not always adorned his subject so much as it has over- daid it, Migs Randolph, a daughter of Thomas Jef Serson’s favorite grandson, who had the good for- tune to inbertt bis name, and, we inust sorrowfully add, the ill fortune to inherit his devts, which he paid at great personal sacrifice, writes always with Sonscientious affection of her subject; but though we have read her work through with care, we have @ailed to detect in it one fulsome word. Thomas Jefferson was born in 1743, on the banks of the picturesque little river Rivanna, in Albemarie county, Va, His father, Colonel Pever Jetferson, was @ land surveyor, whose map of Virginia more than a Sentary ago is still famous. Of the early training of ‘the future President Miss Kandolph telis us that his father was Careful to have his young son early instructed in lithe manly sports and exercises of nis day, so ‘that while still a schoolboy he was a good rider, a good swimmer and an ardent sportsman, spending bourse and days wandering iu pursuit of ame along the sides of the beautiful Southwest Mountains, thus strengthening bis body and bis health, which must Otherwise have given Way under the intense appli- cation to study to which be svon afterwards devoted Aausell. We find the following characteristic trait of ine “way of life of the “old Virgiuia gentleman” before fhe War of Independence brought in lapor and re- sponsibility :— The lives led by our forefathers were certainly Miled with ease and leisure. One of Thomas Jeser- son’s grandsons asked hun, on one occasion, how &he wen of hus father’s day spent their time. He smilea, and, in repiy, sata, “My father had a de- Voted friend to whose house he would go, dine, Spend the night, dine with him again on the secon Gay and revurn to Shadweil in the evening. His Iriend, in the course o: a day or two, returned the visit and spent the same iength of ume at ms house. This occured once every Week. and thus, you see, ahey were logeiner four days out of the seven.” Yet we find the young scion of this parentage so far from inheriting such easy and insouciant havits 4hat he devoted himself to the severest intellectual dabor from boyhood. Says lis biograpner of his life the University of Williamsburg :— He studied fifteen hours a day. During the most Closely occupied duys o! his college ule it was his Rabit to stuay until two o'clock at night ana rise at dawn; the day he spent in close applicaion—we ony recreation veing a run at twilight w a certain sione Which stood at a polut a mule beyond te dinuis of the town, His habits of study ° ere kept up during his racaiion, Which were spent at Shadwell, and though he did noteut bia self off irom the social imterercourse with Ariends aud family, yet he still devoted ueariy three- Avurths of his time to his books. He rose in we morupg as soon as the hands Of a clock placea on Abe mantelpiece in ts chamber could be distin- guished in the gray light of early dawn. After sun- Sei he crossed the Kivanna m a litue canoe, which was kept exclusively Jur lis own use, and walked up to the summit of bis joved Monticello, where ue Was having the apex of the mountain levelled dowu, preparatory to building. fhe following incident has been printed before, but 1) embodies so characteristic a trait tat we cannot refrain from copying:— In tbe foliowing year, 17 there took place tn House of Burgesses the great devate on the Stamp act, in which Patrick Henry electrified his Aearers by his boid and sublime fichis of oraiory. An the tobby of the House was seen the tall, thin figure o! Jefferson, bending eagerly jurward to wit- mess the surriug scene, Mis face pal effects of hard study, and luis eyes flas! th i from the ing with the enthusiasm ot In aidusion to dire of jatent genius and ail outliul aud devoted patrioti scene he writes in his menmuic: «When the famous resolutions of 1765 against the Stamp act were proposed | wax yet a student of law in Williamsburg. I attended’ the aebate, bow- ever, at the door of tae lobby of tue House of Burgesses, ana heard the splendid display of Mr. Menry’s talents as a popular orator. They were in- deea great, such as [ liave never heard from any other man. He appeared to me to speak as Homer wrote.” ‘Though Jefferson was fond of horses and of manly sports, he had one bavit from his earliest youth swhicb principally aided to make him great. He mever sat down for amoment in idieness, but went aiwave to books or Investigations of some kind when w#therwise unoccupied. He thus took with him to ithe Congress of 1775 that solid reputation for scholar- ship which contrivuted to mark him out, though one ! of the youngest members, to draft the immortal | Dectaration of Independence. At twenty-nine Jefferson married a young and M@eantiful widow of twenty-three, by whom ne had dour children, of whom only two daugnters lived to each aduit years. ‘The story of the night ride of the @ewly married coupie tn a driving snowstorm, which they were at last compelied to meet, on horseback | do Menuicello, where they were to commence house- | Keepiwg, bas been often told.

NEW YORK HE RALD, SUNDAY. AUG {gress of the Confederation to negotiate treaties with foreign powers, Jefferson soon succeeded the illus- trons Dr. Franktin as United States Minister at the Court of France, a position which he retained until reheved at his own request, in 1789, From his vo- lumiaous and highly interesting correspondence while abroad we cull a few brief specimens:— J had a levter from Ledyard lately, dated at St. Petersburg. He had but two suiris, apd yet more shiris than shillings, Still he was determined to obtain the palin of being the first circumambulacor of the earth. He says that, having no money, they kick him from place to place, and thus he expects vo be kicked around the globe. Are you become a great walker? You know I preach up that kind of exercise. Shail I send you a conte pas? It will cost ou a dozen louis, but be a great stimulus to waik- ing, as it will record your steps. This allusion toan instrument for meusuring the Space travelled over by the leet in Walking reminds us of the fun that was afterwards poked at Mr. Je!- ferson’s odometer by the federalists newspapers of Boston and elsewhere wnen he became President, Jefierson was a man of precision and method, and .loved to try experiments and record results. On his numerous journeys by private carriage from Wa®hington to Monticello and retarning, a distance of about one bundred and twenty miles, he used an instrument called an odometer to measure the num- ber of revolutions of his caritage wheels and com- pute the distance from the aggregate result Mr. Jefferson returned from France toward tie close of the year 1789. Journeying toward his be- loved Monticeilo with hisawo daughters (the com- fort of whose society he had enjoyed auring most of nis residence in Paris, near whtch city they were educated), he spent a few days in visits to old Vir- ginla friends. Arrived at the foot of Monticello his attached negroes made a rata upon the car- riage, upfastened the horses and drew the whole in triumph up the mountain by hand, walle the welkin rung with shouts o! welcome from old and A man of Jefferson’s capacity was not suffered to him nis first Secretary of State, and he arrived at New York to assume the duties of office on the 21st of March, 1790, He thus describes to his son-in-law ‘the primitive journey thither:— larrived here onthe 2ist instant, after as labori- ous a journey of a fortnight from Richmond as I ever ‘Went through, resting only one day at Alexandria and another at Baltimore, | found my carriage and norses at Alexandria, but a snow of eighteen mches falling the same night, 1 saw the impossibiity of getting on in my carriage, so 1effit there to be sent to me by water, and bad my horses led on to this place, taking my passage in the stage, though relieving myself a litte sometumes by mounting my hor-e. ‘Tbe roads through the whole way were so bad that we could never go more than three males an hour, Someiimes not more than two, and in the night not more than one. My first object was to look out a house in the Broadway, if possi- ble, as being the centre of my business. Finding noue there vaeant for the present I have taken a small one in Maiden Jane, which may give me ume to look about me. Much business haa been put by Jor my arrival, so that | found myself ail at once in- volved under an accumulavion of it, Removing to Phiiadelphia with the government, the same winter, Jefferson, established his house- hold there on a generous scale, He still kept up the habit of noting every change of season with scrupu- jons care. We find him writing to nis daughter Mary, under date of March 31, 1791;— l wrote youin my letter th: sy fyogs had beguil their songs on the Th fof ae 5 Binds thea the biue- birds saluted us on the 17th, the weeping willow began to leaf on the 18th, the lilac and gooseberry on the 25th and the golden willow on the 26th. Tenclose for your sister two Kinds of flowering beans, very beautiful and very rare. She mst plant and nour- ish them with her own hand this year, in order to uve enough seed for herself and me. ‘This careful attention to the life of plants and vege- tabies attended Mr. Jefferson ail through ilfe. In the busiest days of his Presidency he found time to note down daily the progress of the seasons, and there is extant—in his small, neat handwriting—a Complete table of the dates of appearance and dis- appearance in the Washington markets of every iruit and vegetable during ali the years from 18ul to 1808, Inclusive. On the 1st of January, 1794, Jeffersoa resigned his oMfice as Secretary of State, greatly to the regret of Washington, who had persuaded him already to remain in office for many months longer than Mr, Jefferson had originally intended. His private aifuirs imperatively called him to Monticello, He owned over ten thousand acres of land, which had been for many years subject to the shiftiess misman- agement and bad cultivation of overseers. He owncd 154 slaves, ‘a very small number,” says Miss Randolph, “in proportion to his landed estate.’ His farm stock consisted of 34 horses, § mules, 249 cattle, 399 hogs and 3 sheep. His tarms stood in im- perative need of the nand of the master, but that master was too soon called away again to take the helm of public affairs to justify the hope that his own fortune would ever be materially mended. Mrs. Randolph informs us that:— Of the various offices which Jefferson was called to fill _he received pecuniary benefit trom that of Vice President alone. As a member of the Virginia Assembiy and of Congress, as well a8 when Go’ nor of Virginia, bis salaries barely paid the ex- penses incident to his oiiciat posiuon. As Minisier to France his salary did not cover his expenses; as Secretary of State lus expenditures slighily ex- ceeded Nis salary, While they greatly surpassed it When he wag President. When he became President, Jefferson bought an equipage suitaple to the station (the days of present- ing horses and carriages to Presidents had not then arrived), which consisted of four beautiful tuil- blooded bays. it was a spirited and showy team, and cost $1,600, a great sum in those days. defferson’s grandson, Colonel Jefferson Randolph, writes of his appearance and manners thus:— His manners were of that polished school of the Coionial government, so remarkable in its day— under no circumstances violating any of those minor conventional observances which constiute the well-bred gentieman—courteous ana considerate W all persons. On riding out with hum when a lad, we i.et a negro who bowed tous; he returned lus bow; 1 aid not. Turning to me he asked, “Do you permit a negro to be more of a gentleman than yourself His habits were regular and systematic. He was & mniser of his time, rose ulways at dawn, wrote and read until breakiast, breakiasted early und dined trom three to four; retired at nine, and to bed irom ten to eleven. He said, in his last iliness, thas the sun had not caught hun in ved for filiy years, He always made his own fire. He drauk water butonce aday, @ single glass, when he returned trom mis ride. He ate heartily, and much vegetavie jood, preferring French cooking, because it maue ihe meats more te..der. Jefferson's republican simpilcity was not exhib- ited in & niggardly expenditure or a want of hospi- tality, but in his steadfast rejection of forms and | ceremonies, Thus he broke up the custom of the President's meeting Congress with a set speech, re- plied to by a ccremonious answer, and sent in his message annually in writing. He also avolished levees, and concerning unis the Jojlowing interesting story is tola:— We have preserved to us an amusing anecdote of the effect of his abolishing levees. Many of the jJadies at Washington, imdignant at being cut off from the pieasure of attending them, and thinking that their discontinuance was an innovation on former customs, determined to force the Bresident 10 hold them. Accordingly, on the wsual vee day, they resorted tn 1utl force to the White House. The President was out sore his habitual ride ou horse- On his return, being told that ihe public rooms Were filled With lattes, he at once divined their true motives lor coming on that day. Without being at all disconcerted, ail booted and spurred, he went in to eve his fair guests, Never liad his | reception veen more gracetul or courteous, The ladies, charmed with the ease and grace of his manner and address, forgot tne indignation with | ats fourth number. | Messrs, Hurd & Houghton, his “Mary, Queen of {| Scots, and Her Latest English Historian,” being a interposed between bim and his creditors to the large amount of $58,536, And yet, so unfortunate had Mr. Jefferson's undertakings proved, and so 1n- credfbly was his hospitality abased by the sight-see- ing and celebrity-hunting public, that when his affairs came to be finally settled after bis decease, in 1824, his estate was found to be $40,000 worse off than nothing. The entertainment at Monticello of such a host of visitors was @ shameful imposition upon the venerable ex-President, and it is to be hoped that no future statesman, who may retire from that office to an honourable struggie with poverty, will be so treated by his countrymen as was Thomas Jefferson. BUNDLING; ITS ORIGIN, PROGRESS AND DECLINE IN AMERICA. By Henry R. Stiles, M. D. Albany: Knickerbocker Publishing Company, 1871, 12mo., pp. 138, This curious historical brochure is prefaced by the venerable author with the statement that he 1s “no believer in the theory that the objectionable por- tions of history should be kept in the background.” So he has given us @ collation of a that couid be | found about a singular custom once quite prevalent in New England. Sirange to say, Dr. St:les proves that ‘bundling’? was not geuerally considered an offence against chastity about the middle of the last cen- tury. He gives many amusing, though not very, | delicate, anecdotes Mustrating the practice. It is amazing to us in this age that a practice so pro- | foundiy immodest and vulgar should ever have been tolerated in @ civilized country. Nor do Dr. stiles’ extracts from the narratives of travellers, proving it to have originated in Great Britain and notably in Wales, while it has also been an ancient custom im Holland and im portions of Asia, at ali reconcile us io its prevalence in Connecticut or in Maine. Tue practice, 1! 1atrue. was confined to people in the | lower classes, and the auther, with more charity than discretion, as we think, finds excuses in the coldness of the climate, the scant accommodations of the houses, 4c. It appears to have graduaily fallen into disuse and to have ceased about the be- ginning of the present century. The causes of its decline are thought to have been an improvement in the tone of morals, as well as of materia) weifare among the people. It was strenuously denounced by divines from the pulpit, but the author attributes Jess effect to the lessons of moralists than to sun- dry popular ballads written in ridicule of the cus- tom and widely circuiated. Two or three of these doggerels are cited at length, and it is a mila state- Ment to say of them that they are totally unfit to be printed anywhere. Our opinion of Dr. Stiles’ per- Sormance is that It weeGlessly revives the remem- brance of one of the worst abuses of a crude and coarse state of so¢iety in an age long since happily passed. The book cando no possible good, while its circulation to any considerable extent would be productive of positive harm. It may gratify a few historical antiquaries and please salacious tastes; but the facts, stories and poems which the author has so industriously collected might much better have been leit to slumber in the orginal sources whence they were gathered. The purity of our bomes is too precious to permit the inirusion of such quesuonabie visitants, even in the sober garb Of history, SEITE 1240 eRreer—ery Res aaa - = LITERARY CHIT-CHA anette eae Tue LONDON Aiienwum calls Mr. W.
