Notes: Listed as # 328 in TJCAB . The most extensive of the various replies to the resurrection of the Callender scandals by Fawn Brodie and others. It undercuts its own case, however, by its extreme defensiveness and exaggerated tone and by treating a fiction such as Barbara Chase-Riboud's novel as a serious threat to TJ's historical reputation. More effective replies have been made by scholars such as Douglas Adair and others to those giving credence to a TJ-Sally Hemings affair.

Notes: Explores two eighteenth-century versions of the pursuit of happiness: Candide's advice to “cultivate our garden” and TJ's Declaration of Independence. Notes sources of TJ's phrase in Locke's Essay Concerning Human Understanding (where it is not in conflict with property) and in George Mason's Declaration of Rights. TJ's understanding of happiness was one shared with his Virginia contemporaries, a “common sense,” and while his personal, Horatian version of it became irrelevant to most Americans by the end of his life, the ideal of the pursuit of happiness became central to the materialistic American dream. It continues to define American self-understanding and American society.

Title: "Jefferson and/or Adams: A Shifting Mirror for Mussolini in the Middle Cantos."
Publication: ELH
Volume: 55
Date: (1988)
Extent: 505-26.

Notes: Suggests that readers of Pound need to distinguish between the representation of TJ in the early Cantos and his representation in the middle Cantos and in Jefferson and/or Mussolini . Pound first portrays TJ as "an Italian Renaisssance prince in the context of revolutionary America." The parallel to Sigismondo Malatesta presents TJ less in terms of the then accepted liberal, Lockean paradigm than in terms of J. G. A. Pocock's later argument for understanding him in the context of a civic humanist tradition descending from Machiavelli. Analyzes Machiavellian qualities of Pound's portrait of TJ. As Pound in the later 1930's became more doubtful about the power of humanist virtue to sustain government, he shifted his focus from TJ to John Adams. Good essay on this subject.

Notes: Claims that TJ's efforts in Notes on the State of Virginia to win adherence to his beliefs often failed because of the discrepancy between his actual readers and the “universalized” audience he projected. His proposals, such as abolition of slavery, were often impractical at the time in which he advanced them because of the resistance of slaveowners to such ideas. Notes , however, has a common, unifying argumentative purpose as a defense of TJ's approach to knowledge.

Notes: Discusses TJ's early literary reading and influences as well as his mature style, and examines Notes on the State of Virginia and the Head and Heart letter to Maria Cosway as examples of literary performance. Sees the Notes as unified by TJ's assumption of the role of the philosopher representing his native country to the republic of science, regarding all he offers as brought into conjunction by the rational observer of the world. Claims that on matters such as slavery, the Jeffersonian literary stance was not able to go beyond its conventions, even when his own experience seems to demand it and his writing shows signs of his distress, and notes his sometimes tiring earnestness and didacticism. Still, we must count him as a man of letters in order to restore to our vocabulary the Jeffersonian vision of the American future as a democratic pastoral.

Traces an evolving tradition beginning with TJ of figures who both recognized their differences from the body of common people as well as their shared identity with them. Discusses Emerson, Whitman, and Eleanor Roosevelt as figures who preserved their differences from the people while embracing a responsibility rooted in a sense of shared humanity and citizenship to work and speak for them. A somewhat oddly written but engaging, suggestive argument.

Notes: American readers had a more practical response to Ossian than did British readers. TJ recommended these “sublime poems” as an education in moral courage and virtuous behavior. His interest in Ossian was stimulated by his education based on Scottish common-sense philosophers and by his “early interest in writing poetry of a fragmentary nature. ” Ossian embodied values TJ wished to indentify with: observance of duty, sincerity of purpose, tenderness of affection, deep regard for nature, and love of family.

Place of Publication: Washington, D.C.:
Date: (1981)
Extent: 75-91.

Notes: Contends that "Jefferson's theoretical substructure for his own conception of the separation of church and state was a foundation of sand." TJ's deism was marked by a belief in the natural goodness of rational man which ignores the frequency of human selfishness. This individualist optimism encourages the belief that individual moralism was enough to guarantee social health, but the churches traditionally had argued that religion had to create a transformed society through corporate action. His belief in the core of religion as morality alone falsely assumes that all churches will understand moral issues in the same light, whereas they have often criticized each other and the state on the basis of what they take to be the the essential moral code. Finally, his belief in the automatic social utility of religion subverts the churches' understanding of themselves as prophetic voices by co-opting them to the view of the state. By fostering a civil religion, the state dangerously exaggerates its own importance. The present time calls for the legal practice of the First Amendment without its original deist philosophy. A challenging essay that does, however, assume the value of prophetic religion and dismiss TJ's anti-clericalism without sufficient consideration.

Title: Thomas Jefferson, Lawyer.
Publisher: University Press of Virginia,

Notes: A carefully researched and well reasoned study of TJ's practice as a lawyer from the time of his legal studies begun in 1762 until his turning over of his case load to Edmund Randolph in 1774. Overturns a number of assumptions about this phase of Jefferson's life, e.g. that diligent legal studies occupied all of his time between 1762 and 1767, that his course of studies can be reconstructed from notebooks and advice he later gave to legal aspirants, that he had an extensive practice in the county courts, etc. The author convincingly shows that TJ practiced only in the General Court and is informative on the precise nature of the work he did there as well as on the judicial system of pre-revolutionary Virginia. Study of Jefferson's fee book and case book reveals his earnings from his legal practice to have been moderate at best. The author is a retired lawyer who is familiar with legal terminology and makes it intelligible to a lay audience. Includes in revised form earlier articles about the law practice.

Notes: Argues that in the debates between “liberal” and “republican” versions of early American political thought each side has mistakenly dichotomized “nature” and “history,” whereas a careful reading of Locke shows that his theory of social contract and government is carefully positioned between history and nature. Shows that both TJ and John Adams shared a similar Lockean perspective in spite of their political differences. Reads Locke's Second Treatise in order to reveal an implicit historical narrative that belies readings of it as purely abstract moral argument, and interprets TJ and Adams as shaping their own arguments in terms of this narrative about the formation of the state, its role in preserving rights, and its possibilities of corruption and betrayal. Concludes that “Far from having a cursory understanding of it, Jefferson and Adams display a striking degree of knowledge of and assent to Lockean theory, even in its more unusual details. ”

Contends that TJ's attempt to establish an ethical assumption like equality upon a scientific foundation of observed nature was a major failure because of the actual data of nature. The claim for equality was forever frustrated, and the doctrine of equality did not necessarily lead to the end of slavery. Nature has no important role in classical political thought nor in that of the Scottish enlightenment, but it is a source of value for TJ, Emerson, and John Dewey. Lincoln was the real apostle of freedom, not TJ, because his thinking was informed by the traditions of Protestant Christianity. TJ saw slavery as a "blot," Lincoln as a "sin." TJ saw it as something a good nature would take care of; Lincoln recognized the need for responsible political action to remove it. A stimulating first chapter in a larger critique of liberalism.

Publication: North Carolina Law Review
Volume: 69
Date: (1990)
Extent: 159-211.

Notes: Argues that to focus on the Bill for Religious Freedom in isolation distorts TJ's church-state model, and it must be seen in the context of the four related bills in the Report of the Committee of Revisors . These preserved church property, punished disturbers of worship and sabbath breakers, authorized days of public fast and thanksgiving, and invoked biblical law for a bill on marriage. Claims that collectively the bills suggest TJ took a more accommodating view of church-state relations than the wall metaphor suggests. Hence, the Supreme Court has relied on an erroneous conception of TJ's views to inform its first amendment analysis, and its legal pronouncements may be flawed. Does not, however, give enough weight to these proposed laws as resulting from a committee of revisors, not perhaps TJ alone, and fails to consider TJ's support or rejection elsewhere for the various positions behind these laws. This essay in fact isolates the Bill for Religious Freedom to the narrow context of the Revisor's report.

Notes: Contends that Bill 82 for Religious Freedom needs to be considered in connection with Bills 83-86 that authorize the Anglican Church's retention of property, provide for Sunday closing, calling fast days, and defining marriage by Biblical standards. This would qualify the separationist church-state model. Assumes Supreme Court should look at "the record of church-state relations in Virginia" and not just the Statute for Religious Freedom in order to inform interpretations of the First Amendment. But are "church-state relations in Virginia" more, or less, relevant to the U. S. Constitution than the specific law that it arguably grows from? Argues that TJ's wall of separation was not an end, but a means to an end of protecting religious freedom.

Notes: Argues that TJ's Statute for Religious Freedom “must be interpreted in terms of [his] complete legislative strategy for redefining church-state relations in Virginia. ” This means examining bill no. 82 in TJ's proposed revision of the Virginia statutes with the following four bills that also had to do in some way with religious issues. Contends that TJ's Statute for Religious Freedom seen in this way does not indicate “a strict separationist arrangement. ” Fails to consider adequately, however, that bills no. 83, 85, and 86 never became law, and that bill no. 84, punishing sabbath breakers, is as easily explainable as intended to provide one day of rest out of seven for everyone, since church attendance or religious affiliation was not required to obtain the day of rest. May also fail to take seriously enough the recognition that TJ's revision was relatively conservative in most regards, preserving traditional Virginia practice and law with a few notable exceptions such as inheritance and religious freedom.

Shows that TJ's letter was not "a little note of courtesy" as some have claimed but a thoughtful response that TJ first showed to Levi Lincoln, his attorney general, and Gideon Granger for their advice. Notes that TJ opposed the federal executive setting days of fast and thanksgiving but not state governors. Cites earlier uses of the "wall" metaphor and its post-TJ entrance into public discourse. Describes recent debates on the meaning and importance of the "wall" metaphor. An intelligent and useful essay.

Argues that the racism scholars such as Winthrop Jordan and David Brion Davis have described as the basis of TJ's attitudes toward blacks informed his attitudes toward Indians as well. Points to the "elusiveness" of TJ's character and the contradictions between his rhetoric and actions and suggests that he managed to deceive himself about his own role as friend of the Indians. A strongly-argued and well-supported analysis, even if driven by a larger thesis about pervasive American racism and imperialism which leads to simplification of the loyalties and moral responsibilities that actually pulled at TJ.

Notes: Argues that TJ and Paine "had a common way of looking at the world" in individualistic terms; this is the source of their radicalism which transformed the old vocabulary of political theory. Sees TJ as caught up in ambivalence about reason and in contradictions between theory and reality because he was unwilling to think consistently on the speculative level of political theory. Because he was more interested in freedom in a negative sense, i.e. freedom from tyranny, etc., than in a positive sense, or freedom to practice rights, his thought "would leave the national purpose essentially unchallenged." Suggestive essay at times.

This book has none of the longer disquisitions on law and government that come in the Legal Commonplace Book, but its marginal notes, cross references, and selections are of interest for their information on his interest in questions of natural law and natural justice that are at the heart of traditional equity cases. Contends that when TJ proclaimed in the Declaration allegiance to "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God," his scholarship in equity law shaped his conception of moral precepts and natural justice as a part of the Anglo-American legal system.

Title: “Revolutionary Men of Letters and the Pursuit of Radical Change: The Views of Burke, Tocqueville, Adams, Madison, and Jefferson,”
Publication: William and Mary Quarterly
Volume: 53
Date: (1996)
Extent: 729-54.

Notes: Examines contrasting attitudes toward the problem of bringing about change that will result in political renewal or progress, particularly the role of intellectuals in bringing about this change. Plays Burke, as one who resisted change, and Tocqueville, as a thoughtful proponent of the inevitability of revolution, off against each other, then assesses Adams, Madison, and Jefferson on a spectrum of suspicion or enthusiasm for change. Uses Tocqueville to distinguish between the American Revolution, whose intellectuals were also experienced politicians, and the French Revolution, whose intellectuals had been kept out of political responsibility before 1789. Well-written essay, but conclusions are not astonishing.

Title: "With the Hammer of Truth": James Thomson Callender and America's Early National Heroes.
Publisher: University Press of Virginia,
Place of Publication: Charlottesville:
Date: (1990)
Extent: viii, 225.

Notes: The first full-scale study of Callender reveals a radical republican democrat, an extreme egalitarian, and a pioneer of muckraking journalism. Driven both by principle and by his own resentments, he was finally too monolithic and doctrinaire to win belief in his charges that Republicans were "as corrupt as the rest of mankind." Shows as other studies have not the depth of Callender's support for TJ, the price he paid for it, and why he turned on him the way he did. Without whitewashing Callender, gives a fuller context for his scandalous attacks on TJ.
