But he has exercised so prevalent and permanent an influence upon political thought and action in this Republic, that a study of his character must needs prove not only interesting, but profitable to its citizens. This study is, moreover, invested with a unique attraction by the fact that the character and career of no other prominent person of our Revolutionary era, have elicited such conflicting opinions as the character and career of Jefferson. On the one hand, he has been eulogized as a wise statesman, a man of extraordinary erudition - a profound philosopher. On the other, his statesmanship has been ridiculed, his learning pronounced limited as well as superficial, and his philosophy branded as empirical. Thousands admire and love him because they are convinced that he was a sincere friend of political equality; many assert that he was a demagogue, feigning affection for the people, in order that he might use them for promoting his own aggrandizement.
