BIBLIOGRAPHY 



The author acknowledges, with most cordial thanks and 

 thankfulness, the many helpful suggestions that have come 

 from sources which it is impossible to undertake to enu- 

 merate, so numerous are they and, in many instances, so 

 remote from the actual subject. Special thanks are due to 

 the very able and kindly help which those members of the 

 staff of the New York Public Library who are engaged in 

 the historical and genealogical departments have afforded; 

 and to the Librarian, Mr. C. H. A. Bjerregaard, in particu- 

 lar to whom no appeal has ever been too trifling and no 

 difficulty too great, to receive the most patient and sympa- 

 thetic attention. 



Members of the various Colonial and Historical Socie- 

 ties throughout the country have also been enthusiastic in 

 responding to queries, and furnishing such matter as lay 

 within their power: and the present owner of Monticello, 

 the Hon. Jefferson M. Levy, has generously furnished the 

 pictures of that estate as it is at the present time, restored 

 as nearly as it possibly may be to the splendor which it 

 enjoyed as the home of Jefferson still a home, happily, 

 with the atmosphere of home, yet hospitably open to visitors 

 as in his day. 



The bibliography is an extended one and would be even 

 longer if every pamphlet consulted and every fugitive ref- 

 erence were set down. But of many of these not even a 

 record has been kept. Suffice to say, the principal sources 

 are presented and a vast mass of additional material has 

 been gone through in the course of collecting the necessary 

 data.
