Notes: A suggestive monograph which argues that although TJ had a "defensive mentality," he "actively used violence either directly or indirectly in his policies against the Barbary pirates, Spain, England, and France to maintain his country's independence and security. ... He was more a pragmatist than a pacifist and continually weighed possibilities, risks and gains.... If Jefferson seems a protoClausewitzian, it is because he emerged from the same age, with many of the same assumptions about the use of war, and he consistently operated on the basis of these assumptions while in and out of public office."

Publisher: Macmillan

Pages: pp. xiv, 572
Notes: TJ in his First Inaugural typified the position of the "old Republicans," in his Second Inaugural he typified the position of the "new Republicans" who were dominant after 1815. Although not interested in the normal procedures of day to day administration, TJ was "as skillful as his Federalist predecessors in using administrative means for far-reaching political ends." His first term was marked by successful innovations in policy and administration, but his second ended in the disaster of the Embargo. TJ's "significance in American history flows much less from his contribution to the art of administration than from his convictions about democracy."

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. Valuable, informative study of scientific ideas of the age, but generalizes too easily from one particular figure to "Jeffersonian" in general. TJ treated passim.
