Throughout his extensive, accomplished life, Thomas Jefferson—founding father, author of the Declaration of Independence, and third U.S. President—published only a single book: Notes on the State of Virginia. Comprised of twenty-three “queries” and rich with charts, maps, and drawings, Notes is a literary and scientific accomplishment in which Jefferson details an examination of ecology, economics, history, education, the military, and the “science of government”. We are proud to offer this work as a special leather bound edition.
