Excerpt from Opinion on a Project for Removing the Obstructions: To a Ship Navigation to Georgetown, Col. The deposition which is contained in the following sheets... and to which are now added, the answers I pave to the questions put to me by the Committee of the House of Representatives, to whom was referred the bill from the Senate respecting a ship navigation to Georgetown, together with some further remarks and authorities... relates to a subject of the utmost importance, not only to this district, but to our country at large. It has already been published by Mr. T. Moore in the newspaper called the Spirit of 76, and in a detached pamphlet, together with his comments upon it, and parts of a private correspondence between Mr. Moore and myself. Both these publications are in many places so inaccurate as to be unintelligible. Had I foreseen them, I should have endeavored to have rendered the deposition more worthy of a public appearance, and my private letters would never have been written. My inducement to lay the whole of my view of the subject before the public, is, principally, that it may be correctly and fully before them, unaccompanied by any thing that relates to me personally. It is, in fact, of no consequence that the public should know in what manner the interests or the tempers of individuals have operated in the discussion of the practical effects of adopting one or other of two modes of effecting a public benefit. The old adage, that, in every dispute, he that is first angry is wrong, should be remembered, in all such discussions, by professional men, on whose reputation depend their means of existence. The public are always more amused by personality than by argument: but the power to amuse is not that which ensures respect. On these considerations, I have avoided any remarks on the personality of Mr. Moore's comments, excepting in cases in which my personal defence involved my argument.

The 580 documents in this volume cover a wide range of fascinating topics. Jefferson receives impressions of a mammoth's tooth, altitude and meteorological observations, a call for a national pharmacopoeia, a discussion of primeval geology, and a letter that elicits Jefferson’s opinion that cognition exists "in animal bodies certainly, in Vegetables probably, in Minerals not impossibly." Jefferson leases his Tufton and Lego plantations to his grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph. The directors of the Rivanna Company rebut Jefferson’s 1817 bill of complaint and he unwittingly ensures his eventual financial ruin by endorsing notes totaling $20,000 for Wilson Cary Nicholas. Jefferson adds to the collections of the American Philosophical Society and writes an extended introduction to the "Anas," a corpus of official papers and political anecdotes documenting his service as George Washington’s secretary of state. Jefferson drafts legislation to establish a public education system in Virginia. He attends a Masonic cornerstone laying ceremony for the nascent Central College’s first pavilion early in October 1817 and is greatly pleased by the passage on 21 February 1818 of a law establishing a commission to plan a new state university, raising his hopes that Central College might soon become the University of Virginia.

A richly illustrated behind-the-scenes tour of how the nation’s capital was built. In 1790, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson set out to build a new capital for the United States of America in just ten years. The area they selected on the banks of the Potomac River, a spot halfway between the northern and southern states, had few resources or inhabitants. Almost everything needed to build the federal city would have to be brought in, including materials, skilled workers, architects, and engineers. It was a daunting task, and these American Founding Fathers intended to do it without congressional appropriation. Robert J. Kapsch’s beautifully illustrated book chronicles the early planning and construction of our nation’s capital. It shows how Washington, DC, was meant to be not only a government center but a great commercial hub for the receipt and transshipment of goods arriving through the Potomac Canal, then under construction. Picturesque plans would not be enough; the endeavor would require extensive engineering and the work of skilled builders. By studying an extensive library of original documents—from cost estimates to worker time logs to layout plans—Kapsch has assembled a detailed account of the hurdles that complicated this massive project. While there have been many books on the architecture and planning of this iconic city, Building Washington explains the engineering and construction behind it.

The Potomac Canal: George Washington and the Waterway West is a history of a new nation's first effort to link the rich western agricultural lands with the coastal port cities of the east. The Potomac Canal Company was founded in 1785, and was active until it was overtaken by the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company in 1828. During its operation, the canal system was used to ship flour from mills in the foothills of Appalachia to the tidewater of the Chesapeake, where the flour was shipped to the Caribbean as trade for sugar and other goods. This trade soon became the basis of agricultural wealth in West Virginia's eastern panhandle and throughout the Appalachian Piedmont. Coal was also shipped via the canal system from the upper reaches of the Potomac River to workshops at Harpers Ferry and beyond. This industrial trade route laid the foundation for what would eventually become the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
