Extent: 105-170.

Notes: Intended to make available "the best of early American philosophizing to college students" and general readers. The chapter on TJ's religious views is weakened by oversimplification and by a somewhat ahistorical treatment; the chapter on the philosophical background to the Declaration weighs the influence of "the rationalistic school" and "the moral sensists," devoting a bit more space to the latter. Takes up the questions of what Jefferson meant by equality, the notion of inalienable rights (derived from Hutcheson), the pursuit of happiness, and the right to revolution. Does not displace the earlier works by Garry Wills and Morton White on the philosophical context of the Declaration, even for college students and general readers.

Notes: As the title suggests, the focus is not primarily on TJ but it offers a useful account of his foreign policy concerns after the Louisiana Purchase agreement. Argues for TJ's neutrality as president towards Great Britain and France and a deep-seated desire for peace. Neither his domestic opponents nor the British believed in his neutrality, however, and the British in consequence rode rough-shod over American rights. French diplomatic observers more correctly saw him as an American nationalist above all, even if he was sympathetic to France.

The children of Sally were the whitest and those whom he freed. He had freed her two older brothers Robert and James, but after James's reported suicide in 1801, he freed no more quadroon Hemingses. Fails to consider Joe Fosset, but an intelligent discussion.

Claims TJ in the 1790's came to approve of Christianity as a moral basis for the nation, but misses the distinction between sociological fact and theological truth.

His partial TJ, if not strictly historical, is contained in a historical vision and is used for the "cultural work" of an epic poet.

Describes him as generating a “sophisticated network of interior defenses” against taking a more active position against slavery, enabled among other reasons by his contact with slaves in the manufacturing and construction scenes of Monticello rather than with those in the fields. Also, by surrounding himself with members of the Hemings family, TJ “had so designed his slave community that his most frequent interactions occurred with African-Americans who were not treated like full-fledged slaves and who did not even look like full-blooded Africans because, in fact, they were not. ”

Title: American Sphinx: The Character of Thomas Jefferson.
Publisher: Knopf
Place of Publication: New York
Date: (1997)
Extent: pp. xiv, 365.

Notes: An eminent Adams scholar takes on TJ and gives an Adams family perspective, emphasizing TJ's propensity for self-delusion, idealism, and utopian fantasies. Does not see TJ as a hypocrite, rather as a person whose contradictions and disjunctions were effectively hidden from himself, in part because of the sincerity of his motives. Not a full-scale biography but an examination of five "extended moments" in TJ's life; avoids TJ's years in Washington's cabinet and as Adams's vice-president, thus perhaps undervaluing the real political issues in favor of TJ's more isolated moments in Paris, semi-retirement at Monticello in the 1790s, and in his last years at Monticello. Has little to say about TJ's interests in science, architecture, etc. Nevertheless, TJ's character has both complexity and difficulty that the Adamsian perspective registers with insight and suggestiveness, even if in the end it is perhaps best for explaining only Jeffersonian "moments."

Notes: Argues that the Jeffersonian Republicans were not a monolithic party and that after the election of 1800 there was not simply one struggle over the federal judiciary system but various struggles on state and national levels. Furthermore, the attack on the judiciary reflects the struggle between the radicals and moderates in TJ's own party, with the acquittal of Samuel Chase marking the turning point in favor of the moderates. An excellent work, but it has more to do with Jeffersonians than with TJ per se.

Volume: 39

Extent: 206-68

Notes: Review essay of Dwight's History of the Hartford Convention and Sullivan's Familiar Letters. Traces the Democratic party from the anti-federalists and characterizes the party under TJ as party of Liberty, the Federalists led by Hamilton as the party of Law. But since Britain is now on the side of Liberty, "The parties, into which our fathers were divided on the great argument of Liberty and Law, can therefore never be revived ... as it came up before, connected with the policy of Europe and the rival interests of France and England ...." Still worth reading.
