INDEX TO JEFFERSON'S BIBLE calumnies of the Stoics and caricatures of Cicero, is the most rational system remaining of the philosophy of the ancients, as frugal of vicious indulgence and fruitful of virtue as the hyperbolical extravagances of his rival sects." XII JEFFERSON'S SERVICES TO SCIENCE THE most striking characteristics of Jefferson were his egotism, his industry, and his comprehensive learning. He had an opinion on every subject for every comer. The only subjects on which he confessed himself deficient were geology and poetry. No problem was too abstruse for him to grasp. He seldom asked advice or assistance from others. He was an infallible oracle to half the population of the country and a dangerous 'demagogue to the other half, but he was universally recognized as a man of scientific as well as literary attainments. Franklin was the first president of the American Philosophical Society, then the most learned of colonial associations. He was succeeded by David Rittenhouse, who died in 1796, and after him came Jefferson, who was also an active or honorary member of nearly every literary or scientific society in the United States. There is scarcely a subject in the entire range of human inquiry upon which Jefferson did not express his views in writing with fearlessness, with absolute faith in his own convictions and judgment. He discusses art, architecture, the treatment of infants, meteorology, music, astronomy, the practice of medicine, the breeding of sheep, the science of government, the apparel of women, the origin of meteoric storms, and the temperature of the moon as freely as politics or religion. In all the sciences he advanced propositions and solved problems with equal audacity. In criticism he was caus tic and reckless, and commends with the same freedom that he condemns. He rejects the Mosaic account of the creation and the flood as fiction, and pronounces the Gospels the sublimest code of morals ever conceived. He would select military commanders by their physiognomy. "The ornaments and amusements of life," he says, "are entitled to their portion of attention. Those for a female are dancing, drawing and music. Dancing is a healthful exercise and graceful amusement,' he said. "No less than two hours of each day should be devoted to exercise, for a strong body makes the mind strong. "I think it is lost time," he says in a letter to Peter Carr, "to attend lectures on moral philosophy," and, almost on the same date, he breathes this beautiful sentiment to David Campbell: "I am sensible of the mark of esteem manifested by the name you have given your son. Tell him from me that he must consider as essentially belonging to it, to love his friends and wish no ill of his enemies." The only thing Jefferson declined to criticise was poetry, and he actually confesses his inability to do so. Although he constantly read and quoted Homer, Horace, and Virgil in his student days, he said, "To my own mortification, I am of all men living the last who should undertake to decide as to the merits of poetry." Nevertheless he was fond of Ossian. He objected to fiction. He held that novels " were a great obstacle to a good education, for the time lost in reading them should be instructively employed. For a like reason too much poetry should not be indulged in;" but like Washington he wrote poems occasionally. Washington's poems were amorous; Jefferson's were funereal and generally concerned a future life. Here is one: |
