This copy has been separated from a volume of pamphlets and is bound in brown buckram by the Library of Congress; it is probably
Jefferson’s copy but has no definite marks of identification.
Contains many laudatory references to Jefferson, the
son of liberty. On page 14:
. . . our Jefferson
shines like a Sun amidst ten thousand stars. He needs no Sedition Law
, to protect him,--or Navy to spread his fame: That he is Thomas Jefferson
, is enough to raise him to an immortality of political glory. All that the natural Sun is to this world, our
President is to America: enlightening and warming the noble souls of a Republican Congress,--his wise management has, in the
last session of that august body
, saved the nation more than 1,000,000 of dollars! . . .

This pamphlet has always been attributed to James Thomson Callender. It is anti-Hamilton and pro-Jefferson, for which reason
Ford considers the name Tom Callender may be a pseudonym in that Callender was at this time writing for the Federalists.
