NOTE. 



In the statement on page 54, as to the Freeborn 

 plough, it is intimated that Freeborn was a maker not 

 a designer of ploughs, and his plough is identified with 

 that of Jefferson through the use of the phrase, "spiral 

 wind." Since the manuscript was given to the printer, 

 the writer has seen a New York City advertisement of 

 the year 1819, in which the Freeborn plough is dis- 

 tinctly described as a "cast-iron plough" and of 

 "Wood's patent," This is proof that the Freeborn 

 plough was of the Jeffersonian model.
