Abstract

This American classic is the only full-length book written and published by Thomas Jefferson during his lifetime. Written in 1781, Notes on the State of Virginia was begun by Jefferson as a commentary on the resources and institutions of his home state, but the work's lasting value lies in its delineation of Jefferson's major philosophical, political, scientific, and ethical beliefs. Along with his accounts of such factual matters as North American flora and fauna, Jefferson expounds his views on slavery, education, religious freedom, representative government, and the separation of church and state. The book is the best single statement of Jefferson's principles and the best reflection of his wide-ranging tastes and talents. This edition, meticulously edited by William Peden, was originally published by the University of North Carolina Press in 1955. |The first edition of this compendium of place names in North Carolina appeared to wide acclaim in 1968 and has remained an essential reference for anyone with a serious interest in the Tar Heel State, from historians to journalists, from creative writers to urban planners, from backpackers to armchair travelers. This revised and expanded edition adds approximately 1,200 new entries, bringing to nearly 21,000 the number of North Carolina cities, towns, crossroads, waterways, mountains, and other places identified here.
关于弗吉尼亚州的说明
这本美国经典著作是托马斯·杰斐逊一生中唯一一部撰写并出版的长篇著作。写于1781年的《维吉尼亚州笔记》最初是由杰斐逊作为对他家乡的资源和制度的评论,但这部作品的持久价值在于它对杰斐逊主要的哲学、政治、科学和伦理信仰的描述。除了对北美动植物等事实的描述外,杰斐逊还阐述了他对奴隶制、教育、宗教自由、代议制政府和政教分离的看法。这本书是对杰斐逊原则的最好的单一陈述,也是他广泛的品味和才能的最好反映。这一版由威廉·佩登精心编辑,最初由北卡罗来纳大学出版社于1955年出版。第一版《北卡罗来纳州地名简编》于1968年问世,广受好评。从历史学家到记者,从创意作家到城市规划者,从背包客到扶手椅旅行者,对这个“焦油后跟州”有浓厚兴趣的人来说,这本书一直是必不可少的参考资料。这个修订和扩展版增加了大约1200个新条目,使北卡罗莱纳州的城市、城镇、十字路口、水道、山脉和其他地方的数量达到近21,000个。
