Summary:"Thomas Jefferson's writings on morality have largely been ignored by scholars. Yet his writings and the moral works he recommended reveal much about his moral sense and views on good living. Jefferson valued personal moral improvement, had great respect for moral exemplars and drew inspiration from moralists, sermonizers, novelists, poets, historians, and role models"--
