I’d love to see the Jefferson Bible.

BTW, What cost $23,950 in 1814 would cost $242,638.13 in 2008.

Well, William Jefferson kept all his important stuff in the freezer. Maybe they should try looking there.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

Since they know what books Jefferson had, the list should be available, showing the political thought that Jefferson was familiar with. I guess it shouldn’t be too hard to find.

Here it is: “ http://catdir.loc.gov/catdir/toc/becites/main/jefferson/88607928.toc.html “

I visited this display at the Library of Congress in June and learned about it. . .very nice exhibit.

Funny that Jefferson sold all his books and Congress promptly allowed them all to be burned up. They didn’t protect them all that well. . .

And funny that Congress resisted buying all his “trivial” books about cooking—Jefferson had a lot of cookbooks. . .

[A. Patriot]

Does Nancy Pelosi know about this? Jefferson, the man who said, “The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.”

If she finds out, she will have all of Jefferson’s books burned again and replaced with the libraries of Marx, Engels, Trotsky, Lenin, and Molotov.

P.S. - I found something interesting when I was Googling the above names to get the spellings correct. Google: PAVEL BORISOVICH AXELROD. I wonder if he is a distant relation to David Axelrod?

Great article, thank you. I tried to find a list of what the library is still looking for but didn’t. Did I miss it?

Thanks for the post. For once, I have no objection at all to how my tax dollars are being spent. :-))
