The Chinese Astrology Workbook by Derek Walters
This volume's 571 documents cover both Jefferson's opposition to restrictions on slavery in Missouri and his concession that the boisterous sea of liberty is never without a wave. Seeking support for the University of Virginia, he fears that southerners who receive New England educations will return with northern values. Calling it the Hobby of my old age, Jefferson envisions an institution dedicated to the illimitable freedom of the human mind. He infers approvingly from revolutionary movements in Europe and South America that the disease of liberty is catching. Constantine S. Rafinesque addresses three public letters to Jefferson presenting archaeological research on Kentucky's Alligewi Indians, and Jefferson circulates a Nottoway-language vocabulary. Early in 1821 he cites declining health and advanced age as he turns over the management of his Monticello and Poplar Forest plantations to his grandson Thomas Jefferson Randolph. In discussions with trusted correspondents, Jefferson admires Jesus's morality while doubting his miracles, discusses the materiality of the soul, and shares his thoughts on Unitarianism. Reflecting on the dwindling number of their old friends, he tells Maria Cosway that he is like a solitary trunk in a desolate field, from which all it's former companions have disappeared.Derek Walters is an expert in traditional Chinese culture and the author of several books on Chinese astrology, feng shui, and other parts of Chinese philosophy. He travels to the Far East frequently and is a member of the Purple Mountain University's Scientific Organizing Committee for international symposia on Chinese Astronomy and Traditional Culture, as well as an honorary member of the Society of Diviners in Hong Kong. Derek, while being formally retired, continues to lecture in Germany and has established courses in Russia and the post-Soviet states.
