Reference: 2721

Notes: Emphasizes the positive side of TJ's position toward slavery in response to attacks on his failure to take a more aggressive position on abolition. Argues that TJ and his contemporaries set in motion the process leading toward abolition, even if in trying to have it both ways, TJ also gave informal sanction to the lower South's worst racial fears and helped to deepen those fears.

Reference: 3191

Notes: Argues that TJ maintained in his thought a tension between the values of revolution and those of a preserved constitutional order Rebellion or the threat of revolution held in check encroachment on the people's rights, yet a just revolutionary movement must convince the majority of its rightness or it is despotic.

Reference: 2170

Notes: Juvenile fiction.

Reference: 2714

Notes: TJ's economic system "successfully forged a new political and economic synthesis from the old dichotomies of the Revolution," i.e. the dichotomy of the "agrarian minded" and the "commercial minded."

Reference: 1586

Notes: Argues that in our time "Jeffersonian traditions have survived only as a minor current of opposition among those who retain an old-fashioned commitment to equality, or who believe that the rights of free speech and free inquiry have not been altogether superseded by the exigencies of world power."

Reference: 684

Notes: The dark side of TJ's record. "A philosopher of freedom without a philosophy of freedom," he was poorly equipped to confront what he saw as challenges to freedom or to recognize how his own actions or those of his supporters threatened it.

Reference: 1759

Notes: TJ along with Locke and certain eighteenth-century pamphleteers means by "the people" "nothing other than a majority of the whole community." Hence, "the Declaration's central concern is not the individual rights of man, but the rights of the political community." DAI 34/09A, p. 6071.

Reference: 1929

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: 3177

Notes: Well-informed if somewhat inconclusive discussion of the legacy of the Callender scandals; charges against TJ cannot be definitely disproved, although the accusers can be shown to rely on "arbitrary inferences and distorted facts."

Notes: Similar to the previous item; contends TJ's interest in painting has been underestimated but is able to offer only speculations about much of what TJ saw and how it could have influenced him.

Reference: 3271

Reference: 3247

Notes: TJ identified with the deists more readily than Adams did, in part because his opponents included conservative New England clergy and not, as in Adams' case, supporters of French radicalism. DAI 34/04A, p. 1839.

Notes: TJ's radical measures to assure intellectual liberty at the University --faculty tenure, full powers of decision in the conduct of scholarly work, opportunity to assist in administering the affairs of the University (TJ provided not for a president but an annually rotating faculty chairmanship)—assured a tradition that held up well, with a few blemishes, for the first century. DAI 34/08A, p. 4817.

Reference: 3417

Notes: The bust was destroyed in the Library of Congress fire of 1851, but daguerrotypes of it may have been made.

Reference: 1285

Notes: Most recent calendar of papers held at the Univ. of Virginia.

Reference: 26

Notes: Argues that Helvetius represents an egocentric view of man, descending from Locke, which holds that morality is the result of education, but that TJ's views are sociocentric in the tradition of Shaftesbury and the Scottish moralists and that he advocated a psychology of innate faculties.

Reference: 2485

Notes: Discusses the difficulties in maintaining American political heroes; even TJ is in question because of his attitudes toward blacks and the Sally Hemings affair.

Reference: 184

Notes: Controversial biography focusing on TJ's private life and its relation to his public life. Has been criticized both on the grounds of historical accuracy and psychological method, but if the claims for TJ's sexual liaisons are fully unsupported, the handling of his response to the death of his wife and his dealing with grief is interesting.

Notes: Argues that TJ's peculiar fusion of idealistic morality and political realism in directing foreign policy laid the ground for subsequent difficulties.

Reference: 1562

Reference: 633

Notes: Contends TJ resolved the contradictions among constitutionalism, the Enlightenment view of man, and political democracy, making possible the American myth which enjoined faith in constitutional democracy, progress, harmony of interest, and a special American destiny.

Reference: 2308

Notes: A continuous thread in TJ's public career was his belief in "British policy as part of a plot to subvert American liberties," and this belief played a part in his difficulties as Secretary of State when he had to deal with both Hamilton's Anglophilia and France's intransigent behavior.

Reference: 3229

Notes: Maria Cosway and the Head vs. Heart letter; insignificant.

Reference: 858

Notes: Examination of the circumstances and significance of TJ's coming to power in 1800. Argues that he conceived a "strategy that will enable the people to negate the present or existing system. By a conversion of military to peaceful means, Jefferson produced a strategy and an organization whose means could be identified in spirit and principle with the purposes of the revolution. It enabled the people to identify with the emerging democratic sentiment that was a 'second city' within the body politic.... the capacity of the Jeffersonians to combine a revolutionary ideology and a dynamic political organization culminated in the first modern theory of a politics of revolution." Suggestive study.

Reference: 1978

Notes: Contends TJ's "claim to an exclusive exercise of executive privilege. . . was upheld by Chief Justice Marshall," and courts in the Watergate case seem to be denying Marshall's ruling. See, however, item #1394.

Notes: TJ as an intellectual was able to adapt his idealism ~to the necessity of being practically intelligent."

Notes: Sketch emphasizing his role as "a member of the Enlightenment;" insignificant

Reference: 256

Notes: Examines the contemporary relevance of TJ's political ideas. Many of them no longer apply and the only way to have equality as he wished is to contradict the principles of individualism and the right to acquire and own property. Attempts to be provocative, but not very thoughtful.

Reference: 1601

Reference: 441

Notes: Points out six criticisms historians have directed towards TJ's role in the Lewis and Clark expedition, and concludes the only justifiable objection to his planning of the expedition concerns his failure to ensure that the Expedition journals were published immediately after the return.

Reference: 577

Notes: What TJ meant by the "common sense of the subject."

Also discusses the Declaration's place in American history.

Notes: Contends that TJ's monetary views are consistent with those of David Hume and, allowing for the general substitution of demand deposits for bank notes, are similar to those of some leading economists today.
