Description: In the Spirit of JEFFERSON : Essays and Reviews by Ernest L. Talbert SIGNED 1951 Flyleaf has gift inscription signed by the author and dated 1951. Essays and reviews about Thomas Jefferson. From the dust jacket flap: ARE national and personal rivalry rooted in human nature? Is there a reasonable chance for promoting peace and good will, by the deliberate application of the science of sociology? The essays and commentaries written by Dr. Talbert embody a social outlook stemming principally from the liberal ideals of Jefferson, and taking much from such men as Emerson, William James, Oliver Wendell Holmes and John Dewey. This book makes no pretension of being a "contribution to the sum total of knowledge." It borrows freely from the best American minds and adds innovations that mark the work as the product of an individual and imaginative mind. It departs from the creed of the ivory-towerists, whose "detachment" sometimes amounts to taking the side of the status quo, and takes its own, independent stand. Avoiding the technical language of the social scientist, this book achieves its aim with succinctness and clarity.
