The Youth of Jefferson: or The Chronicles of College Scrapes at Williamsburg, in Virginia, A.D. 1764

TO THE READER.

This little tale is scarcely worth a preface, and it is only necessary
to say, that it was written as a relaxation after exhausting toil. If
its grotesque incidents beguile an otherwise weary hour with innocent
laughter, the writer’s ambition will have been fully gratified.

How three persons in this history came by their names.
