Notes: "An elaboration of the author's introduction to the second reissue of his book" (1987, see above). Argues that judicial interpretations of the amendments to the Constitution has more to do with the history of the public administration of the United States than does the Constitution itself. Claims that "the predominance of adjudicative power as it has evolved in America is not conducive to a governance that can anticipate and plan for the future." Hence, "a more serious and comprehensive examination" of the founders' ideas about public administration and their very different legacies can uncover for us "the generally warping effect" of the courts "upon the character of public administration." Describes Hamilton's central concern for effective and responsible government, TJ's for defense of individual liberties, and laments the apparent lack of interest many Americans today seem to have in them.

Notes: Argues that public education and liberal republican democracy were inseparably connected in the minds of Madison and TJ, who saw the former as necessary (but not in itself sufficient) for the latter. Looking also at the experience of classical Athens, the author claims that TJ and Madison were right in seeing this nexus as crucial to the success of the republic. Hence, conservatives who trace their political tradition to these two men should pause before pressing the case for a decreased federal role in public education.

Notes: Grapes of Wrath echoes TJ's political and economic philosophies, but the outcome of the novel reflects a 20th-century dilemma: political and economic strength of the individual have decreased the emphasis on land ownership. TJ's agrarian ideal effectively ended with the closing of the frontier. Steinbeck substitutes for the agrarian ideal of farmers on their own land a vision of “one big soul,” a socialistic or communalist ideal.

Notes: TJ's pursuit of humane conduct of warring armies toward civilians and toward prisoners of war had three phases: 1. During the Revolution, as Governor of Virginia he relied on appeals to reason and threats of retaliation whether dealing with the Convention prisoners taken at Saratoga or negotiating for better treatment for Virginians captured by the British. 2. After 1783 he pursued diplomatic efforts to protect rights of non-combatants, following Franklin's lead) through bilateral treaties. 3. In view of the state practices of the Napoleonic wars, he again considered the utility of retaliation in the context of a perceived decline in international morality. However, even then he retained a hope for the use of restraint and moral suasion.

Notes: Analyzes TJ's reading and use of L'Esprit des Lois . He devoted more space in his commonplace book to Montesquieu than to any other political philosopher, but he seems to have read for practical use to support his work on formulating American governmental structures. He focused on discussions about voting, popular sovereignty, and confederate republicanism; his silence on Montesquieu's discussion of virtue and education in Books III and IV may reveal some ideological differences, as might also his ignoring Montesquieu's linking of republicanism and frugality in Book V. Montesquieu placed more stress on authority and obedience than TJ did, and he showed more respect for classical authors. Claims TJ was more conscious of breaking from the past and that by looking at the record of his reading, we can see that Montesquieu was an influence that helped him focus and clarify his emerging thoughts on republicanism.

Date: (1983)
Extent: pp.302.; 2553-A.

Notes: Examines the composition of the Seventh through the Tenth Congresses in order to consider the relationship between President and Congress on specific foreign policy issues. Contends that TJ's changing relationship with Congress helps explain the foreign policy successes of his first term and the failures of his second. In TJ's first term Congress was relatively docile, disciplined, and cooperative, and he was able to turn even the Federalist opposition to use in acquiring Western territory. Congress also gave him extensive authority to deal with the Barbary Pirates. In the Ninth Congress, however, the relationship began to break down relative to foreign affairs as a consequence of the revolt led by John Randolph and the Federalist opposition headed by Timothy Pickering. In the first session of the Tenth Congress TJ dominated Congress completely, but his support collapsed in the second session with the apparent failure of the embargo policy. He all but abdicated his authority during the last four months in office and left the Congress and nation virtually leaderless.

Notes: Argues that historians who echo Federalist denunciations of TJ's handling of the war with Tripoli are mistaken. TJ on the issue of war with the Barbary pirates acted with energy and force, and the treaty with Tripoli was favorable to the U. S., providing a satisfactory conclusion to the four-year war. he accomplished far more with the Barbary powers than had his predecessors, and while the treaty did not mark a complete end to problems in this area, it was an important step in bringing about a resolution.

Notes: Sees TJ's administration as a “testing phase” of separation of power practices that had emerged in the last decade. Examines the relationship between Congress and the executive branch in order to see how consistent TJ was with his previously espoused views about the separation of powers. Considers the symbolism and practical implications of the design for the new federal city and TJ's first annual message to Congress, as well as situations that tested the separation of power such as the war with the Barbary states, the Louisiana Purchase, and issues over appropriations. Concludes that TJ's administration took separation of power concerns seriously, even if it occasionally relied on subsequent congressional ratification of unilateral actions.

Notes: Discusses TJ's letter-writing practices, with particular attention to his system of recording and indexing them in his Summary Journal of Letters. He began keeping the journal On November 11, 1783, and he recorded there the letters he received and sent. He summarized the letters he sent out, until he acquired a copy press in 1785 and began to rely on that for his record copy. By far the busiest years, in terms of both letters received and letters sent were during the time of his presidency, and the number sent and received fell off in his later years. The evidence of the Summary Journal of Letters seems to belie his claim to John Adams that he wrote 1287 letters in 1820; it was more like 400.

Notes: Compares the felony law reform efforts of Benjamin Rush, William Bradford, and TJ in his draft statutes. Both Bradford and TJ regarded felony law as constituent, and while it is common to remark TJ's debt to Beccaria, he may have been more strongly influenced by William Eden's Principles of Law . TJ's reform proposal failed because it became entangled with political questions, but the Pennsylvanians appear to have dealt with felony law reform at a level above politics and were thus more successful.

His concern to find a practical rule of conduct and social morality made him an object of admiration for later French thinkers such as Cabanis, Volney, Thierry, and Comte.

Suggests TJ was particularly taken by the floor plan of the rez-de-chaussée of the "ruined column" which used oval rooms to fill out a round structure. TJ proposed similar plans for renovations at the Hôtel de Langeac, the first Washington Capitol, and the Rotunda. He may also have been influenced by the variety of architectural and landscape embellishments of the estate. In French.

Notes: Surveys TJ's interests in science, noting particularly his interest in mathematics and in the physical sciences. Contends that the Declaration is a Newtonian document because the phrase “the laws of nature” supposedly points to Newton's laws of motion, and the idea of self-evident truth occurs in mathematics and in various scientific texts as meaning something like “axiom. ” Calling the Declaration “Newtonian” on this basis may seem a bit forced to many readers, but the author's discussion of the scientific discourse about the idea of “self-evident” truths is suggestive and insightful.

But in the eighteenth century men in their thirties were, for several reasons, already middle aged, and we should thus remember there is no easy formula to guarantee maturity.

But the 1960's are different from previous times, and TJ's ideas are more relevant.

Notes: Disappointing essay because of its overly broad definition of religion and its implicit critique of TJ for not confronting Christian theology on its own terms.

Notes: Asks what attracted TJ to Priestley's views and after an examination of Priestley's theological positions suggests that most important for TJ was the new understanding of Christianity Priestley's work presented to him rather than any particular doctrines. Priestley's doctrines mostly reinforced what TJ had believed all along, but his criticism of the Bible led him to reject later encrustations of the real Jesus. The author does not consider the similar impact of TJ's earlier reading of Bolingbroke.

Notes: Questions the extent to which TJ accorded primacy in his civic discourse to a reductive notion of individual rights. Argues that TJ believes in the contingency of “rights talk,” and that in 1774 he explicitly turned away from rights talk to a discourse of justice. Suggests that modern misreadings of TJ's rights talk in the Summary View results from a failure to contextualize it in the transition from an understanding of rights as restraints on arbitrary government to conceptions of rights as “instruments for liberating individuals” and a consequent failure to understand the complex vision of rights held by TJ. Excellent essay.

Extent: 45-76.

Notes: Not much specifically on TJ; rather this is an examination of the concept of human equality that locates it in the human ability to use will and reason to make moral decisions. Grounds the idea of a “descriptive equality” (“descriptive” as opposed to the post-Weberian concept of “normative”) in the theology of Bernard Lonergan, who emphasizes the importance of individuals attempting to act authentically, i.e. as attentive, intelligent, reasonable, and responsible persons. Importance is placed on the process of moral reasoning and action rather than on any specific outcome or any innate or acquired level of moral knowledge. Moral individuals may be mistaken in their actions yet act authentically, in good conscience. Suggests that for TJ, as for Lonergan, good and evil are not specific choices but “emergent possibilities” in the world in which humans engage themselves as moral creatures.

Title: "Resurrecting Madison and Jefferson"
Publication: Separation of Church and State: Historical Fact and Current Fiction
Publisher: Lambeth Press,
Place of Publication: New York:
Date: (1982)
Extent: 16-47.

Notes: As part of a larger thesis that the Supreme Court's recent decisions involving the separation of church and state are not in accord with American historical fact, argues that the traditional interpretation of the positions of Madison and Jefferson is historically faulty. Points to Madison's willingness to issue thanksgiving day proclamations, which he understood as "merely recommendatory," and his willingness to accept a chaplain to Congress as well as to TJ's acceptance of missionary activities as stipulations in treaties with Indians as evidence that they did not understand the First Amendment as forbidding aid to religion "on a non-discriminatory basis." This is one of the better argued and historically supported expressions of the conservative critique of the so-called "broad" interpretation of the First Amendment's meaning for church-state relations, but it seems insufficiently compelling because of a selective use of historical fact. No mention is made of TJ's "wall of separation" statement, Madison's comment on the danger of establishing "a precedent for giving to religious societies as such a legal agency in carrying into effect a public and civil duty" in the veto message of February 21, 1811, although quoted, is ignored, and the complex historical and moral circumstances surrounding the Moravian's Gnadenhutten project are not recognized. Nevertheless, challenging to simplistic defenses of the "broad" interpretation, although the portrayal of that position here is rather a straw man.

Crawford, and William B. Phillips. The first four worked at both Monticello and the University of Virginia, the last three at the University. Considerations of buildings later erected by these workmen shows that TJ's Roman and Tuscan classicism continued to exert a profound impact long after his death in 1826, partly because their clients knew of TJ's work and wished to emulate it. Considers the workmen's background, qualifications, building practices, and the economics of building during the first three decades of the 19th century as well as TJ's method of hiring workmen.

Notes: Argues that the design of the Act was to purge the officer corps of its most vocal Federalists in order to replace them with men of Republican sympathies, and it was not, as sometimes claimed, an example of Republican abhorrence of standing armies or of Jeffersonian economy. The Army had been shrinking since early 1800; the Act of 1802 required only another 300 dismissals, but these came from the "bloated" ranks of the commissioned officer corps. Claims that the Act was TJ's foundation for a reform of the Army. Well informed and balanced essay.

Date: (1986)
Extent: 306.

Notes: Argues that TJ did not ignore the regular military establishment but undertook a political reform of it in order to insure its loyalty to the new regime, for which he had ample reason for concern. Recognizing the necessity for regular forces, he aimed to Republicanize the army by appointing Republican officers at every opportunity, by winning over moderate Federalists, and ultimately by expanding the force and adding new Republican officers. The creation of a military academy was a means to train poorly prepared but politically correct young men, and the 1808 expansion of the army allowed more Republicans to be appointed to senior positions. Understanding TJ's actions as an effort to Republicanize the army resolves the paradoxes generated by earlier views that focused on an anti-army bias. Published in 1987 and noted below.

Notes: Best account of TJ's handling of the Army during his presidency; explodes a number of myths about his ineptness and ignorance of military affairs and policy and about supposed republican principled rejection of standing armies. Shows how TJ tried to republicanize the Army and thought of it as a potential support for a republican government. The events of 1798-1800, however, convinced him that the existing army would be a threat to his government, and he sought to transform it into a body loyal to republican principles. His efforts at social and political reform of the army did lead to some poorly calculated actions, many of them having to do with the problematic General Wilkinson. By 1809, however, the Army under TJ's administration had become a respectable force that was beginning to modernize and that had taken on a more republican look.

Notes: Discusses 1981 excavations on Mulberry Row, particularly the fragments of animal bones found outside the doorway of a building used originally to store nail rod but later apparently for human occupation and the contents of a dry well or deep cellar dug near the original kitchen yard. The first gives some evidence of the contents of the slaves diet and the latter of that of the main house. Pig, cow, and sheep remains were at both sites, but the dry well had more remains from younger animals and bones associated with meatier cuts such as roasts. Bones at the storehouse were more fragmented, suggesting use of meat in stews, etc., and dry well bones were more likely to show burn marks suggesting roasting or grilling. Pig remains were the most common type at each site, but sheep remains were considerably more common in the dry well than at the storehouse site. Evidence also points to the use of somewhat older animals at the storehouse site.

Notes: First volume of the post-Boyd era returns to offering table of contents on chronological principles and now supplies an index to this volume. This volume adopts a "strictly chronological" ordering of the papers and abandons Boyd's "file folder" method of printing together letters and papers focusing on a common issue or event. Thus, this volume prints the first of the papers TJ bound into the so-called "Anas" volume, and the editors will treat each item as a separate document to be inserted into the Papers volume in the appropriate place according to its date. The editors believe that TJ intended to include in the "Anas" volume only papers covering his tenure as Secretary of State.

Points out difficulties with his formulation of a principle of historical discontinuity, difficulties Madison promptly showed him in 1789, and in fact, TJ had a serious interest in the literary, architectural, biological and historical past. His interest was selective, however, sometimes showing "the instincts of an antiquary for whom the past was a rich miscellany of marvels and mysteries." But if he maintained a conservative view of the Revolution as rescuing ancient rights from the Norman yoke, he insisted that the best moments of the history of man were yet in the future.

Notes: Listed as # 2724 in TJCAB . Records and analyzes likenesses of TJ made for public consumption during his presidency. The many popular likenesses which were widely distributed reflect interest in TJ and in the office of the presidency, and they also display the state of the arts in the early republic. Covers engravings, pictures on ceramics, cloth, etc., caricatures. Informative.

Publisher: Praeger Publishers,
Place of Publication: New York
Date: (1981)
Extent: 1-20.

Notes: Summarizes TJ's relations with Congress (see the author's Process of Government Under Jefferson TJCAB #1524, for a full account) and points out that he was less restrained by Congress than were his successors, Madison and Monroe, because he owed little if anything to the party caucus. Claims that a strong Republican party was a key factor in the success of TJ's leadership, and his role as head of the party give him leverage Washington and Adams lacked. Madison did not have TJ's skill as a party leader, and Monroe distrusted parties; in their administrations the Republican party declined as a force.

Publication: Encyclopedia of American Political History, ed. Jack P. Greene.

Volume: Vol. II

Date: (1984)
Extent: 672-79.

Notes: Discusses the broadening of the concept of republicanism to embrace the principles of democracy during the course of TJ's lifetime. Argues that Jeffersonian democracy was no simple set of objective principles but an "operative creed worked out in the political arena." As president TJ's refashioning of presidential style set the tone for Jeffersonian democracy by reducing the ceremonial role of the presidency as initiated by Washington and continued by John Adams. Notes TJ's substitution of a written message to Congress in place of the annual address of his predecessors, his preference for small dinners over levees or formal receptions, and his rejection of formal rules of diplomatic etiquette, all of which tended to open the possibilities of the republic to the ordinary citizen.

Title: "The Legacy of Julian Boyd."
Publication: South Atlantic Quarterly
Volume: 83
Date: (1984)
Extent: 340-44.

Notes: Assesses Boyd's editorship of the first 20 volumes of The Papers of Thomas Jefferson as a major contribution to Jeffersonian scholarship. The first 6 volumes set new standards of accuracy and annotation for editing historical documents, but in later volumes Boyd in effect became the victim of his own success. He tried to do too much himself, did not build up a staff of associate editors, and allowed the extended editorial notes to expand greatly in length and scope. This slowed the production of volumes, with perhaps dangerous consequences in a time of lessening governmental support for such projects, but at their best Boyd's notes reveal new material and information resulting from his careful scholarship.

Publication: Thomas Jefferson: A Reference Biography, ed. Merrill D. Peterson (see above).
Publisher: Scribners,
Place of Publication: New York:
Date: (1986)
Extent: 295-310.

Notes: Claims that TJ was "a successful political leader because he was in tune with the wishes of the American people and sought to implement the goals of the majority," but at the same time demonstrates his political skills and inventiveness. Although he did not think parties were a good thing, he saw that they were, at certain times at least, inevitable, and in leading the Republicans to victory in 1800, he showed the ability that later marked him as a strong and effective president, particularly in working with Congress. The period in which he emerged as the party leader of the Republicans saw the origins of political parties and many of the practices which would later become a feature of American political life.

Title: In Pursuit of Reason: The Life of Thomas Jefferson.
Publisher: Louisiana State University Press,
Place of Publication: Baton Rouge:
Date: (1987)
Extent: xvi, 414.

Notes: An excellent one-volume biography informed by the most recent scholarship about TJ. Incorporates an account of TJ's political thought into the narrative of his public career, and, while not ignoring the dimensions of his private life, tends to concentrate more fully on his public life. Takes as its thematic core TJ's belief in "the sufficiency of reason for the care of human affairs," and justifies this choice. If readers might appreciate more attention to the emotional and non-rational TJ, the fact remains that TJ has always left his biographers at least a bit frustrated in this regard. A balanced, reliable account.

Extent: pp. x, 279

Notes: Focuses on the development of the Republican party on a broad front but also contains a good deal specifically on TJ's role. Rejects the idea of TJ as the organizing genius who singlehandedly brought it all together, although his political shrewdness made him an effective party leader after he returned to political life in 1796. The best book on this subject.

Title: The Process of Government Under Jefferson
Publisher: Princeton Univ. Press
Place of Publication: Princeton
Date: (1978)
Extent: pp. xii, 357

Notes: TJ "brought to the presidency the most system in administration and the strongest leadership that the office had yet experienced," even though he left Federalist-designed structures essentially intact. He made the cabinet system work because of his talent for organization, his reliance on discussion and persuasion rather than authority, and his ability to preserve harmony among men of conflicting temperaments. He was also able to mobilize the power of his party, and he kept the government open to the people. A well-researched and significant book.
