Descripción del artículo del vendedor

The two great events of the decade treated in Jefferson and the Rights of Man were the outbreak of the French Revolution and the establishment of a new government in the United States. Jefferson reported home with "extraordinary fullness" on the early stages of the French Revolution. "Insofar as he exerted a direct personal influence," writes Dr. Malone, "he did so primarily on Lafayette and a few other kindred spirits.
