About this ebook
James Madison saw our day. He saw our modern obsession with individual rights, our occasional financial chaos, our flirtations with war and uneasy peace, our political party-bashing and Supreme Court activism. And as America's preeminent political visionary, he also saw how these problems could be solved. His vision has transcended the centuries and if we will but heed him, take his advice and use it, we can build for ourselves a better America--one that both preserves his legacy and our own freedom.

MS (LC: Madison Papers). With the exception of the extracts from Proverbs, these notes are quoted verbatim, or almost verbatim, from William Burkitt, Expository Notes, with Practical Observations, on the New Testament of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, first printed posthumously in London in 1724. The pagination of the editorial footnotes is taken from the sixteenth edition of this work, published in London in 1765. Probably this was the edition which Madison’s father received in response to the order of 4 August 1770, which he sent to his Liverpool agents, Clay and Midgeley (MS in Presbyterian Historical Society). Although this is the copy probably used by JM, he may have taken the notes at the College of New Jersey while he was a student there. In view of their structure and the precision with which they mirror Burkitt’s own words, these jottings could hardly have been Madison’s record of what he heard an instructor say. Although undated, the notes closely resemble in their handwriting other Madison manuscripts penned early in the 1770’s.
The four pages of these notes are numbered 4 through 7 consecutively, in an unknown hand, but possibly that of William Cabell Rives. One or more pages, now lost, must have been available
