Description
During the time covered by this volume, Madison remained at Montpelier, with visits to neighbourhood friends and attendance at the Board of Visitor meetings at the University of Virginia.
Madison wrote letters on a wide range of topics, corresponding with President James Monroe about domestic and international politics and discussing the building of the University of Virginia with Thomas Jefferson.
The volume includes the minutes of those Board of Visitors meetings of the university attended by Madison, extensive discourse on the importance of public education, and comments on slavery.
Finally, there are private letters dealing with daily life at Montpelier, including a typhus epidemic during the winter of 1820-21.
The editors also provide a number of visitors' accounts published in contemporary newspapers.
Access to people, places, and events of the period is facilitated by detailed annotation and a comprehensive index.
