Comprehensive lifetime edition of Thomas Jefferson's most important book. This edition is apparently the first to include the appendix on the murder of Logan's family and the first to include the speech ("We have called by different names brethren of the same principle. We Are All Republicans; We Are All Federalists"). "Unquestionably the best of the early American editions" (Verner, A Further Checklist of the Separate Editions of Jefferson's Notes, 1950). The folding map was prepared especially for this edition. Lacking the portrait frontispiece. Howes J78; Sabin 35903.
