Chapter XV

Name: Jefferson and His Colleagues; a Chronicle of the Virginia Dynasty - Chapter XV
Author: Allen Johnson

The subjects touched upon in this closing chapter are treated with great skill by Frederick J. Turner in his "Rise of the New West" (1906). On the slavery controversy, an article by J. A. Woodburn, "The Historical Significance of the Missouri Compromise," in the "Report" of the American Historical Association for 1893, and an article by F. H. Hodder, "Side Lights on the Missouri Compromise," in the "Report" for 1909, may be read with profit. D. R. Dewey’s "Financial History of the United States" (1903) and F. W. Taussig’s "Tariff History of the United States" (revised edition, 1914) are standard manuals. Edward Stanwood’s "History of the Presidency," 2 vols. (1916), contains the statistics of presidential elections. T. H. Benton’s "Thirty Years’ View; or, A History of the Working of American Government, 1820-1850," 2 vols. (1854-56), becomes an important source of information on congressional matters. The latter years of Jefferson’s life are described by Randall and the closing years of John Adams’s career by Charles Francis Adams.
