7. [LAW,
Thomas.]
Thoughts on instinctive impulses . . .
Philadelphia: printed by
Jane Aitken,
1810.
First Edition. 46 leaves including the last blank.
Sent to Jefferson by the author who wrote an undated letter (received by him on November 14, 1810): “. . . The accompanying may perhaps afford amusement during a leisure hour at Monticello, I should be happy if I could contribute
a moment of pleasure to one who has rendered millions happy & promoted principles which have averted calamities . . .”
On December 22, writing from Washington on another matter, Law added a postscript: “I did myself the pleasure of forwarding to you my Pamphlet on Instinctive impulses.”
Jefferson replied from Monticello on January 15: “
An absence from home of some length has prevented my sooner acknoleging the reciept of your letter covering the printed pamphlet
which the same absence has as yet prevented me from taking up, but which I know I shall read with great pleasure. your favor
of Dec. 22. is also recieved . . .
”
In May, 1814, Law sent to Jefferson a copy of his
Second Thoughts on Instinctive Impulses, and in his letter of thanks, dated from Poplar Forest June 13, 1814, Jefferson mentioned that he “read it with great satisfaction; and with the more, as it contained exactly my own creed on the foundation of morality in
man.”
