to the repeal of the Stamp Act.

This work, which concerns Jay’s Treaty, quotes in full the letter written by Jefferson to Mr. Hammond, the Minister from Great Britain, dated from Philadelphia on September 5, 1794, and the
letter to Mr. Genêt, the Minister from France written on July 24, 1793, and has other references to Jefferson.
Included in the reprinted articles is the
Vindication of the Treaty by Curtius
[i.e. Noah Webster, jun.] from the
New York Minerva
.
On hearing the terms of Jay’s Treaty, Jefferson wrote to Edmund Randolph, the Secretary of State, asking for all the correspondence and documents pertaining to British and American
relations prior to the date of the treaty (November 19, 1794). Manuscript copies of these documents and of much of the correspondence
are in the Jefferson papers in the Library of Congress.
George Hammond, 1763-1853, English diplomat, was sent to Philadelphia in 1791 as minister plenipotentiary to the United States, the first to hold that position. Previously he had been secretary to David Hartley in Paris.
