Pro-Jefferson, with numerous references to him. In the Appendix is quoted a letter from Major William Jackson written to Jefferson
on September 7, and Jefferson’s reply on September 15, 1804, of which the original of the first and a polygraph copy in Jefferson’s hand of the second are in the Jefferson Papers in the Library of Congress.
On the title-page is written in ink:
From the Author. Jefferson purchased a copy from
Cheetham on December 3, 1804, price
50 cents.
James Cheetham, 1772-1810, was born in England and emigrated to the United States in 1798. He was the political enemy of Aaron Burr, and
wrote many pamphlets, a number of which appear in this catalogue. See also
The History of the Administration of John Adams . . . by John Wood, no. 506.
William Jackson, 1759-1828, was born in Cumberland, England. Left an orphan, he was brought to South Carolina. At the outbreak of the Revolutionary War he was commissioned in the Army and in due course rose to the rank of major. He was Secretary to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787, but resigned in 1791 to form a business partnership with William Bingham. For a time he was Secretary of the Society of the Cincinnati, and was surveyor of customs at Philadelphia until as a Federalist he was removed from office by Jefferson.

Jefferson is mentioned on page 11:
. . . The efforts of Paine to enlighten the people, were supported and brought into action by the patriots of Virginia, who
in Congress were among the foremost to move, that declaration of independence which for truth--simplicity and energy, will
to the latest posterity do honor to the head and heart of your beloved Jefferson.
The Tammany Society, or Columbian Order, called after Tammany, a Delaware Chief, and of which Richard Dinmore, 1765-1811, was a member, was founded
in 1783 and organized in 1789. Most of the Federalist members withdrew before 1800, and in 1805 it was incorporated as a charitable
organization.
