"Middleton’s life of Cicero is among the most valuable accounts we have of the period of which he writes." - Thomas Jefferson to Anne Cary Randolph Bankhead, 8 Dec. 1808

You are right in supposing, in one of yours, that I had not read much of Priestley's Predestination, his No-soul system, or his controversy with Horsley. But I have read his Corruptions of Christianity, and Early Opinions of Jesus, over and over again; and I rest on them, and on Middleton's writings, especially his letters from Rome, and to Waterland, as the basis of my own faith. These writings have never been answered, nor can be answered, by quoting historical proofs, as they have done. For these facts therefore I cling to their learning, so much superior to my own.

(TJ to John Adams; August 22, 1813)
