Papers of Thomas Jefferson, Volume 12 - August 1787 to March 1788

Zusatztext "The series will illuminate . . . The whole course of our history from the 1769's to the 1820's." -Henry Steele Commager. Klappentext Volume 12 begins in the early part of August 1787 and continues through the end of March 1788! a time when Jefferson! as minister to France! was continuing his persistent efforts not only to secure the enforcement of the favorable trade regulations (especially for tobacco) already conceded to the United States but also to widen their scope to other imports from America. Zusammenfassung Volumes 11 and 12 cover the period from January 1787 through March 1788 and deal with Jefferson's stay in France, as American Minister there. This is a rich period of personal correspondence and important documents, revealing, particularly, Jefferson's interest in agriculture and architecture, his extended trade negotiations, his reports on the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, and his skilled efforts to establish friendly relations between Europe and his own nation.
