By Gilbekt Chinaed. Little, Brown, and Company, Boston, 1929.
In this day of much superficial biographyit is a real pleasure to meet with so thoughtful, scholarly and readable a piece of work as Professor Chinard's Thomas Jefferson. Prom the beginning, the reader feels that here is a book worth his while, a substantial and permanent contribution to our knowledge of one of the most remarkable figures in American history. Professor Chinard's chief interest is in the origin and development of Jefferson's thought, and in the significance of that thought in the evolution of the American mind. One of the outstanding biographies of the year.
