READ LITTLE FICTION.
While he was an extensive reader in his early days, going into almostevery field of literature, including poetry, he read very littlefiction.
In fact, there was comparatively but little fiction then worth ...the name. Not from any sentiment of duty or moral impropriety, but from simpleaversion he let it alone.
NEITHER ORATOR NOR GOOD TALKER.
Jefferson was neither an orator nor a good talker. He could not make aspeech. His voice would sink downwards instead of rising upwards out ofhis throat.
But as regards legal learning he was in the front rank. No one was moreready than he in ably written opinions and defenses.
It was in what John Adams termed "the divine science of politics" thatJefferson won his immortal and resplendent fame.
