Excerpt from Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson inherited from his father a love of mathematics and of literature. Peter Jefferson had not received a classical education, but he was a diligent reader of a few good books, chiefly Shakespeare, The Spectator, Pope, and Swift and in master ing these he was forming his mind on great literature after the manner of many another Virginian, for the houses of that colony held English books as they held English furniture. The edition of Shakespeare (and it is a handsome one) which Peter J efferson used is still preserved among the heirlooms of his descendants.
