Paragraphs.
The prospectus of the writings of Mr. Jefferson, which we sometime since announced as immediately forthcoming, has been delayed beyond the expectation of his executor, but is now issuing in the following form:—
Life and writings of Thomas Jefferson.
The opinion universally entertained of the extraordinary abilities of THOMAS JEFFERSON, and the signal evidences given by his country of a profound sense of his patriotic services, and of veneration for his memory, have induced his executor, who is also the legatee of his manuscript papers, to believe that an early publication of them would be particularly acceptable to his fellow-citizens.
This work will be elegantly printed on beautiful paper, and ornamented with the best engraved likeness of the author, and a fac-simile of the original draft of the declaration of Independence, with the amendments and additions of the committee, in the hand writing of each.
It will be comprised in 4 Vols. 8vo. of about 500 pages each,—Price $10 in boards, with cloth backs.
