Notes: In discussing the work of Friends (Quakers) in the world, the author appeals to the examples of Jesus (especially Matthew 25:31-40) and TJ. TJ is interesting because his ideas "delimit the domain of politics" and because he exemplifies a hope necessary for survival in the world. This hope "that things in general will work out" is not the same as optimism, "hope made specific," and thus includes a necessary skepticism about any single human endeavor.

Notes: Well informed account of TJ's religious thinking, emphasizing his later theism.

Notes his anticlericalism and his disdain for what he saw as corruptions of the pure principles of Jesus.

Extent: 36-58; 85-109.

Notes: The first of these chapters portrays TJ's and Madison's work for religious liberty, emphasizing their understanding of first amendment rights as insisting upon an essential distinction between civil and religious functions in society. Claims TJ may have felt even more strongly about religious liberty than about political liberty, and that during his presidency and after, TJ "retreated in no way from his single-minded dedication to religious liberty." The second chapter treats TJ and Adams as enlightened thinkers about religion. Influenced by Richard Price and Joseph Priestley, TJ set out to reveal a "natural, reasonable Christianity," and like Adams, he saw the test of religion in its link to morality. States that "both Adams and Jefferson had within them the essence of the religious spirit." Well-informed, brings together TJ's comments about religious liberty that prove to be a stumbling block for those who wish to diminish his authority for a rigorous interpretation of first amendment rights, but by separating into different chapters discussions of religious liberty and of rational morality grounded in religion evades the ground upon which their readings stand.

Notes: Discusses four facets of TJ's libertarian career: political liberty, religious liberty, liberty vs. equality, and academic liberty. Sees TJ as leaning toward liberty in the fundamental antagonism (as Tocqueville saw it) between liberty and equality. On the question of equality for Indians, blacks, and women, "theory pulled in one direction, experience (or political reality) in another." Somewhat uncritical, except for discussion about the problems of equality.

Title: To Secure These Rights: The Declaration of Independence and Constitutional Interpretation .
Publisher: New York University Press
Place of Publication: New York
Date: (1995)
Extent: pp. xv, 315.

Notes: Arguing from a position that he calls “liberal originalism,” the author contends that the Founders intended the Constitution to set up a form of government that could preserve the inalienable natural rights projected in Jefferson's Declaration of Independence. Of particular interest to Jefferson scholars, the first two chapters examine the Declaration as an expression of the ideals of the American Revolutionary generation, suggesting that present-day attempts to minimize its Lockean liberal basis are mistaken, although its Lockean principles are not exclusively individualistic as some maintain. The second chapter looks at the Framers' commitment to the philosophical ideals of the Declaration which needed to be advanced with a better form of government than the Articles of Confederation. The last three chapters look at the role of the Supreme Court in the constitutional order, how intended by the Framers as a safeguard for individual rights, how the Court can be prevented from abusing its power, and how a natural-rights-based theory of judicial review can resolve disputes that come before the Court. Provocative argument, but perhaps exaggerates the degree to which the Revolutionaries and the Founders looked to the Declaration as the privileged statement of individual rights based on natural law.

Title: "Sowerby Revirescent and Revised."
Publication: Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America
Volume: 78
Date: (1984)
Extent: 219-32.

Notes: Review essay describes how E. Millicent Sowerby did her Catalogue of the Library of Thomas Jefferson and notes the impact on subsequent scholarship about TJ. Its reprinting presents again a major achievement, but also reminds us of its faults: its confusing organization of a "cacophony of information," inconsistency of description, and inaccurate descriptions which sometimes even present non-existent editions as their basis. (In some cases, if she did not have access to an edition she would use a nearly contemporary, but different, edition as a basis for describing what she had not seen.) Valuable as her work is, individual entries need to be treated with care. Good on the background of Sowerby's project; a fuller treatment of the problems is offered by Douglas Wilson's 1984 essay, noted below.

Title: Thomas Jefferson's Library: A Catalog with the Entries in His Own Order.
Publisher: Library of Congress
Place of Publication: Washington
Date: (1989)
Extent: vii, 149.

Notes: Makes available for the first time TJ's own ordering of the collection he sold to the U.S. government in 1815. The printed catalogue of 1815, prepared by the Librarian of Congress, George Watterston, preserved TJ's organization in forty-four chapters but within the chapters substituted an alphabetical order by author for TJ's order "sometimes analytical, sometimes chronological, & sometimes a combination of both." TJ's original manuscript catalogue has disappeared, but this reprints an 1823 restoration of that catalogue prepared for TJ by his private secretary, Nicholas Trist. This volume is a valuable addition to Sowerby's bibliography which tried, but failed, to reconstruct TJ's original ordering.

A good deal of information on viticulture and the wine trade in late eighteenth-century Bordeaux, including the rankings of the various crus in 1787. Also translates TJ's journal of his 1787 trip into French and prints it in the latter portion of the book. Illustrated.

Title: "Suppose That Jefferson's Rough Draft of the Declaration Is a Work of Political Philosophy."
Publication: Eighteenth-Century Theory and Interpretation
Volume: 25
Date: (1984)
Extent: 25-43.

Notes: Contends that the Rough Draft can be read as a work of philosophic thinking that shows how equality may be the foundation of rights. The Rough Draft is a work in process, emerging out of manuscript notes towards the version TJ shared with his fellow committee members and eventually becoming the official version accepted by Congress. While the Rough Draft provides an egalitarian concept of revolution, of polity, and of world order, the egalitarianism slips away in the last version of the draft as well as in the official version. Suggestive passages, uneven argument.

Notes: Examines the evidence in the debates about whether or not TJ fathered Sally Hemings's children. Concludes that the arguments offered by the defenders of TJ's reputation are so seriously flawed as not to be credible, whereas the evidence offered in favor of a sexual relationship between TJ and Hemings, while not conclusive, does not offer reason to disbelieve in their affair. If the evidence as of 1997 is not conclusive one way or the other, the case for TJ's paternity certainly seems stronger. DNA evidence that appeared subsequent to this book only strengthens the author's case. Based on solid research, presented with a clear-headed argument, compassionate and sensitive to human realities, and lucidly written, this is the best study to date of the TJ-Hemings relationship.

Extent: xiv, 484.

Notes: Provides a comprehensive account of the state of scientific work and thought in the early republic and, in the author's words, "gives considerable prominence to the ideas and activities of Thomas Jefferson, not because he was a great scientist, which he was not, but because he participated in one way or another in nearly every field of scientific inquiry, stimulating his compatriots with his ideas and researches and inspiring them with the knowledge that their efforts were appreciated at the highest level of government." Gives less focus on the coherence at the personal level of TJ's scientific interests than does the earlier study of Edwin T. Martin (3073) and less attention to the ideological context of the American scientific world than Daniel J. Boorstin (2144), but easily surpasses each with its well-researched and detailed account of American scientists and their activities. Fifteen chapters discuss major centers of scientific activity and then the status of astronomy, chemistry, geography, geology, botany, zoology and paleontology, physical anthropology, archaeology, and comparative linguistics and the problem of Indian origins.

Notes: On the premise that “corporate entities” are constructed from behavior and belief, examines the way in which Virginia was re-imagined as a society and culture in the years after the Revolution. Notes on the State of Virginia is a crucial text in this reconstruction of the meaning of Virginia, both for the transformation of earlier versions of Virginia and Virginians that it offers as well as for its element of social critique that introduced a vision of what Virginia ought to be. TJ's text influenced later contributors to this reconstruction, notably St. George Tucker's writings against slavery and the histories of Edmund Randolph and John Daly Burk. A thoughtful and rich essay.

Publication: The Constitution of the People, ed. Robert E. Calvert.

Place of Publication: Lawrence:
Date: (1991)
Extent: 18-46.

Notes: TJ and Adams represent two very different, if complementary, liberal traditions. TJ was a "humanist liberal," emphasizing the rights of individuals as the holders of preferences and liberty as negative freedom from restraint. Adams was a "reformed liberal," who emphasized individuals as possessors of faculties to be cultivated, seeing liberty as the positive freedom to use one's abilities. TJ's liberalism, although it supported his early condemnation of slavery, could ultimately allow him to condone it because of his recognition of the need to compromise with others' preferences (such as those of fellow southern slaveowners) and to protect the liberal regime in which slavery had successfully been entwined, however, regretable that might be. TJ's liberal politics overrode his liberal ethics which had criticized slavery. Also notes the role played by TJ's philosophical materialism and sensationalism. Adams insisted on men as souls first, not bodies as TJ did, and he saw liberal reason as critical of society. TJ's liberal commitments, designed to protect individuals, could not be used to critique a liberal society or party. On the other hand, his principles are a barrier to the moral homogeneity reformers seek to bring about as they attempt to eradicate "sin." A thoughtful, suggestive essay.

Extent: 71-117

Notes: Interesting re-interpretation and critique of the Hartz thesis, arguing that while American political culture is pervasively liberal, the real division is between different sorts of liberalism, here denominated “humanist” and “reform. ” These chapters discuss TJ and Adams as early exemplars of this split who shared a “genus liberalism” but disagreed over philosophical principles and means. TJ as a humanist liberal was invested in protecting individual preferences and interests and mediating differences when they clashed; Adams placed a priority on duties that flowed from a transcendent moral law and “the cultivation of faculties according to communally or socially rather than individually determined standards. ” TJ and Adams shared a commitment to the “genus liberalism” that was behind the revolutionary synthesis, but they disagreed, even after their reconciliation, on basic philosophic commitments and on the issue of slavery. The first of these issues, they debated over and over in their late letters, but slavery was passed over in silence. Argues that their stands on slavery were paradoxical and that they can only be understood in terms of their basic philosophic disagreements.

Notes: Examines TJ's philosophical synthesis of Epicurean philosophy and moral sense theory that underlies his view about the nature of rights and their implementation in an imperfect world, one in which slavery existed for example. TJ's prudential theory of moral deliberation means that he was not a hypocrite as some "immediatist" critics charge, but ultimately his rationale for the institution of slavery, to say nothing of that for his personal ownership of slaves, is unpersuasive. This failure derives from the underlying incoherence of his attempted synthesis of Epicureanism and the moral sense theory that he extracted in part from a demystified Christianity. Thoughtful, closely reasoned essay.

Notes: Draws a strong contrast between TJ and Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, who shared interests in science but were seemingly opposed on everything else. They took opposite approaches to the issue of poverty: TJ sought to eliminate by means of free land and free education in order to assure independence and a classless society, but Rumford aimed to provide housing, food and work for the urban poor, relieving poverty in order to preserve an aristocratic society. Ironically, TJ is the hero of the common man while Rumford is remembered only as the inventor of soup kitchens, although the latter's ideas worked and TJ's didn't. Because this essay does not consider the different situations posed by Munich and America in the 1790's, the comparison is of limited value and its conclusions seem a bit simplistic, especially in its reliance upon cliches of Jefferson scholarship.
