  • Jefferson and Franklin
    Jefferson and Franklin ITH the exception of Washington and Lincoln, no two men in American history have had more books written about W them or have been more widely discussed than Jefferson and Franklin. This is particularly true of Jefferson, who seems to have succeeded in having not only bitter critics but also admiring friends. In any event, anything that can be contributed to the under- standing of their lives is important; if, however, something is dis- covered that affects them both, it has a twofold significance. It is for this reason that I wish to direct attention to a paragraph in Jefferson's "Anas." As may not be generally understood, the "Anas" were simply notes written by Jefferson contemporaneously with the events de- scribed and revised eighteen years later. For this unfortunate name, the simpler title "Jeffersoniana" might well have been substituted. Curiously enough there is nothing in Jefferson's life which has been more severely criticized than these "Anas." Morse, a great admirer of Jefferson, takes occasion to say: "Most unfortunately for his own good fame, Jefferson allowed himself to be drawn by this feud into the preparation of the famous 'Anas/ His friends have hardly dared to undertake a defense of those terrible records."1 James Truslow Adams, discussing the same subject, remarks that the "Anas" are "unreliable as historical evidence."2 Another biographer, Curtis, states that these notes "will always be a cloud upon his integrity of purpose; and, as is always the case, his spitefulness toward them injured him more than it injured Hamilton or Washington."3 I am not at all in accord with these conclusions.

Aderman: Irving’s Income as a Diplomat IRVING’S INCOME AS A DIPLOMAT RALPH M. ADERMAN THE UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN, MILWAUKEE Although Washington Irving earned his living primarily by his writing, his income from his service as a diplomat supported him when his literary earnings were slow or non-existent. His nephew and biographer, Pierre Munroe Irving, who has itemized the receipts from the sale of his copy-righted writings from Knickerbocker's History of New York to the Life of George Washington and the collected editions published by G. P. Putnam, has arrived at a total of $205,383.34 by the time of Irving’s death in November 1859. An additional $34,237.03 accrued from sales during the next four years.1 Since P. M. Irving did not include income from Irving’s journalistic writing for the Morning Chronicle, the Analectic Magazine, and the Knickerbocker Magazine and payments for other volumes not included in the tally, we can assume that his literary earnings probably totaled about $250,000.

The coincidence of circumstances too was truly fortunate, which permitted it to be laid by the hand of one so illustrious in his participation of the toils and dangers which followed the event it signalizes.” Daniel Webster: “The advantages of our Revolution are daily felt by every American; and, at the same time, that illustrious event is exciting more and more the admiration of the rest of the world, and an ardent desire to adopt its principles. Yet, glorious and beneficent as its consequences have proved to this nation, not a single monument worthy of being named has hitherto been elevated to testify public gratitude or do honor to national sentiment in the eyes of our own citizens or of strangers.” James Madison on the Battle and the War: “It holds so distinguished a place in our Revolutionary History, itself so distinguished in the annals of Liberty.” The Drummer of Bunker Hill: “I Robert Steele of Dedham in the County of Norfolk… Listed 17 days before Bunker Hill fight in Col Doolittle's Regiment.
