Summary "The Writings of Thomas Jefferson, Vol. 2 (of 9)" by Thomas Jefferson is a historical compilation written in the mid-19th century. This volume includes a collection of Jefferson's autobiography, correspondence, reports, and addresses, reflecting his thoughts and actions during his years as a statesman and diplomat. The writings primarily focus on his experiences while in Europe from 1784 to 1790, providing insights into his political philosophy and views on various issues, including relations with foreign powers and domestic policies. The opening of this volume presents a series of letters authored by Jefferson while he was in Paris, addressing various correspondents on a range of topics including financial matters regarding U.S. interests abroad, diplomatic negotiations with several nations, and reflections on American society. Jefferson communicates updates and instructions related to treasury issues and expresses his thoughts on peace treaties, particularly concerning the Barbary States. Additionally, he shares his views on the importance of education, the state of European politics, and personal anecdotes that reveal his intellectual musings and relationships with notable figures of his time, like Benjamin Franklin and John Adams.
