Notes: TJ an important referential figure throughout, but here drawn as a democratic idealist shaped by the French Enlightenment and "the earliest crystallization of what might be called the American prophetic tradition, of Whitman's Pioneers, the 'trust thyself' of Emerson and Lincoln's mystical faith in the wisdom of the people."

Reference: 193

Reference: 2806

Reference: 1578

Notes: TJ's liberal religion.

Reference: 1874

Notes: TJ's collecting interests in history, law, religion and science follow "the pattern of the average eighteenth-century Virginia gentleman of substance and position," but his wide range of interests and his collecting in the fields of Americana and philology show him to be "an innovator and a trailblazer."

Reference: 3174

Notes: Discusses TJ's interest in Greek, Latin, American Indian languages. "By contemporary evaluation, ... it could hardly be said that he was a great classical scholar, or a philologist. But judged by the standards of his own time, he was, indeed, a philologist in the inclusive meaning of the term."

Reference: 3103

Notes: Discusses Brown's letter of 25 December 1799, presenting a copy of probably, Wieland, and TJ's reply of January 15, 1800. One of the few times TJ ever spoke kindly of novels.

Reference: 3176

Notes: Discusses the historical and biographical context of the Declaration, arguing that it "contains the essential ideas of American democracy." The subsequent chapter (147-75) exposits the philosophical background of the document, but doesn't link ideas to TJ.

Reference: 1883

Notes: TJ believed the classics were models of pure style and taste, their study was conducive to happiness and satisfaction, and they were "stores of real science." His sense of utility in educational matters was broad enough to provide a basic place for classics.

Reference: 3248

Reference: 888

Notes: Surveys TJ's references to insects; although he was not an entomologist, he was "the only president of the United States who thought seriously enough about insects to write about them in his letters and to stress the need for more specific study of them."

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 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.

Reference: 2258

Notes: TJ takes part in the creation of Fluvanna County.

Reference: 1625

Notes: Finds a threefold development in TJ's economic thought: a first period dominated by agrarianism, the second by a belief in laissez faire, and after 1805 he "proposed measures that were consistent with the objectives established by Hamilton, though his methods differed from those of Hamilton in revealing a greater concern with constitutional legitimacy."

Reference: 468

Notes: Quotes TJ's letter to Monroe, June 18, 1813, on "the necessity of obliging every citizen to be a soldier." That and his comments on military training in the Rockfish Gap Report show that he would not be opposed to universal military training in spite of his opposition to European militarism.

Reference: 1614

Notes: TJ's humanism considered as a function of his response to the classical past.

Reference: 2148

Notes: Contends that TJ as political realist understood the need for, in Blackstone's words, "due regulation and domestic order," but he never swerved from opposition to any attempt to coerce opinion.

Reference: 2150

Notes: On the scientific ideas and work of a group of men associated for the most part with the American Philosophical Society, called by Boorstin "the Jeffersonian Circle" with TJ as the ordering center for their discrete investigations.

Notes: Analyzes anti-Jefferson propaganda; the one achievement of the Federalist writers was to damage TJ's reputation "so badly that many of their charges linger today."

Reference: 1765

Notes: Analysis of A Summary View shows that TJ "more clearly perhaps than did any of his contemporaries, ... forecast a desirable division of sovereign powers between the local and the imperial sphere." At the same time, it foretells "his constant support of an American confederacy."

Notes: Poem

Reference: 3060

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.
