19. Most notable is Carry Wills in Inventing America: Jefferson's Declaration of Independence (New York: Doubleday, 1978) noting that when Jefferson writes extensively on property, he never quotes Locke, and that "There is no indication Jefferson read the 'Second Treatise' carefully or with profit. Indeed, there is no conclusive proof he read it at all (though I assume he did at some point)."
