Notes: TJ rightly understood the crucial importance of public education for the well-being of democracy, but at the present moment "communications technology" threatens to conflate politics and education, turning the latter into political propaganda; peripheral.

Reference: 3048

Notes: Suggests that TJ's scissors and paste method of compilation rather than just copying out desired sections is an attempt to preserve the authority of the Bible and also presents a "priestless Christianity." Thoughtful discussion.

Notes: Then and now at Monticello.

Reference: 744

Notes: TJ understood the strategic use of naval power and was in some ways far in advance of his time; his support for the navy, however, was balanced by his concern to eliminate the national debt and by his recognition of the nation's financial inability to support a navy large enough to gain control of the seas from the much larger British fleet.

Notes: Sketch with portrait.

Notes: Malone on TJ in a nutshell.

Reference: 777

Reference: 753

Notes: TJ reviews his presidential career as a model for his eventual successor; he approves of FDR.

Reference: 769

Notes: Essay review; claims that TJ is "most appealing ... as a symbol of personal liberty, and as such he is often misunderstood."

Reference: 764

Notes: The first volume of the best biography of TJ; covers until 1784. Malone goes into great detail on TJ's life, but has a tendency to engage in what might seem special pleading in regard to some of TJ's more questionable actions. This tendency is more noticeable in the later volumes (but not the final one), and since Malone scrupulously presents all the facts, a reader is not obliged to accept his judgments blindly.

Reference: 758

Notes: Compares the TJ and Lincoln legends and how they relate to what appear to be the facts; also compares them as writers—TJ's words appeal to the mind, not emotions, and if they are graceful, they lack Lincoln's eloquence.

Reference: 3068

Notes: Covers the years from 1809 to TJ's death in 1826; reflections on what TJ accomplished in his presidency show a good critical sense, and the accounts of TJ's troubles in his last years are quite moving. A strong conclusion to a masterly biography.

Notes: Author of a letter to Fenno's Gazette defending TJ's conduct was probably John Beckley, who was in Richmond and Charlottesville during the Arnold and Tarleton raids.

Reference: 791

Notes: Claims Freneau "made no editorial bargain with Jefferson, but had founded his paper independently, his interest in the translator's office and Jefferson being only incidental to his main purpose."

Reference: 789

Notes: Argues that TJ planned as early as April 1, 1791, to retire from his cabinet post in March, 1793, but he prolonged his stay—rather than shortening it as some have held—because of Hamilton's attacks.

Reference: 793

Notes: Finds no evidence for any subsidy, undue influence, or editorial guidance on TJ's part towards Freneau's handling of the National Gazette as later charged by Griswold.

Reference: 790

Notes: TJ's and Madison's letters show that their trip in 1791 to Lake Champlain and Vermont was for pleasure, not politicking or trying to avoid John Adams.

Notes: Little on TJ, focus on Beckley, first clerk of the House of Representatives, then appointed by TJ as librarian to Congress.

Notes: Pioneering article includes facsimiles of nine letters from TJ to Benjamin Waterhouse. TJ and Waterhouse were careful to propagate perfect vaccine, unlike some other early American vaccinators.

Reference: 3072

Notes: TJ's first inaugural address is a model of the new rhetoric of ideology, which offers a plan for action based on future possibilities, as opposed to the old rhetoric of typology, which appealed to the timeless authority of the past. Thus, in the Notes on the State of Virginia when the rhetorical moment of truth arrives, it is often couched in terms of the sublime.

Notes: This chapter discusses in addition to Robert Beverley and Crevecoeur TJ's Notes as the most appealing, vivid, and thorough statement of the pastoral ideal in our literature. A suggestive and subtle analysis of style and intention, but the attempt to fit the book into a thematic category like pastoral may seem restricting.

Reference: 1789

Notes: Contends that James Wilkinson accused Burr of treason to save his own skin and misled TJ. TJ interpreted criticism of his subsequent actions as partisan malice; he lost his temper and self-control, began to act obstinately and vindictively, and revealed his shortcomings. Rpt. in an expanded edition with introduction by Charles A. Beard, New York: Wilson-Erickson, 1936.

Notes: Contends TJ was one of the first to enunciate in a scientific manner the classic position of the Southern racist. More on slavery than on TJ.

Reference: 2348

Notes: Covers approximately the years of 1776-1815; Virginia Jeffersonians developed "the model theory of American racism," and TJ was the model racist. But if TJ was well behind such public advocates of emancipation as John Jay, Anthony Benezet, and Robert Pleasants, he went as far as an elected representative of Virginia could go in attacking slavery.

Reference: 2350

Notes: TJ praised Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population because of its attack on the mercantile system and its restatement of proagrarian, laissez faire ideas, but he felt the population theory was not applicable to the U.S. and that Malthus had failed to consider emigration as a remedy.

Notes: Arguing that "Jefferson the moralist unites all Jeffersons," examines the moral and philosophical underpinning for TJ's attempt to unify Americans' loyalty to specific communities and local politics into a national union bound by fraternal affection. The danger in this was in making affection almost a self-sufficient good. Suggestive.

Reference: 1831
