Place of Publication: Boston
Date: (1840)
Extent: 119-68

Notes: A federalist view of TJ's presidency, charging that ultimately "his political opinions and conduct served to lessen, in some measure, the stability and permanency of the republic; by emboldening visionary and unprincipled men, many of whom were aliens, and who could vociferate most loudly for liberty, but had not a due respect for law or the Constitution."

Title: "The First Meeting of Jefferson and Burr."
Publication: United States Magazine and Democratic Review
Volume: 9
Date: (1841)
Extent: 358-59.

Notes: Anecdote from Thompson's 1822 visit during which TJ purports to have recognized the "coldness, cunning, and perfidy" of Burr's character at their first meeting. This probably attests more to TJ's residual bitterness over the Burr affair than to the accuracy of his memory.
