Reference: 628

Notes: Argues that TJ was most successful as a statesman when he showed an appreciation for the importance of a balance of power in Europe for America's fortunes, when he saw the need for freedom from foreign entanglement, and when he valued a cautious diplomacy in advancing westward expansion. His rationalizations of the Embargo and for involvement in the Napoleonic Wars departed from this policy.

Reference: 1725

Notes: Claims TJ erred in his relations with the French Ideologues by "joining them in minimizing the evils of the Empire and in overestimating their influence in Napoleon's government."

Reference: 1724

Notes: Good study of TJ's attachment to France, his friendships with French citizens, and his political dealings with that nation. Assesses the charge that TJ's Francophilia led him into the service of the French Revolution and Napoleon and concludes that his foreign policy was not determined by French influence but that he saw the necessity for a balance of power in Europe to safeguard American independence and believed the balance in his time was weighted in favor of the British.

Reference: 1723

Notes: Contends that the differences between TJ and Hamilton have been exaggerated by historians, particularly those pertaining to the period 1789-91. The cabinet officers differed over means, not objectives.

Reference: 1722

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: 1726

Notes: Argues that despite TJ's affinity for French ideas and culture, the isolationist spirit of his first inaugural address is serious. The Franco-American alliance of 1778 was slow to mature.

Reference: 1727

Notes: Claims that TJ's Francophilia did not compromise his position as a public man, but that it did give later historians a handy theme around which to organize praise and criticism.

Reference: 629

Notes: Somewhat rambling discussion of the charge, "He has excited domestic insurrections among us...," as a phrase which recognizes the southerners' real fears of a slave rebellion as well as being a euphemistic recognition of the injustice of slavery.

Reference: 1728

Notes: TJ's reputation discussed passim, but especially pp. 95-109. Finds that "Lincoln is the patriot-hero of order-conscious, cosmopolitan statists; Jefferson of freedom-conscious, localistic antistatists."

Reference: 1747

Notes: Studies the reaction of four major Federalist and four Republican papers to seven major issues of TJ's presidency. TJ did not have the effective newspaper support later enjoyed by Jackson. His correspondence with William Duane suggests he cultivated the National Intelligencer as official reporter and the Aurora as "unofficial partisan scrapper." DAI 23/08, p. 2893.

Reference: 1745

Notes: On TJ as philosophical thinker and on his philosophical background. Concentrates on his thought after 1785 and thus perhaps over-emphasizes the importance of French influences by first encountering him during his stay in France. Still, a standard book; even if it can be supplemented with Colbourn's Lamp of Experience and Wills' Inventing America, they have not displaced it. Originally a Ph.D. dissertation at Columbia Univ. and published as such.

Reference: 2316

Notes: Often suggestive study of the working relationship between TJ and Madison, arguing that Madison tempered TJ's opinions and led him to refine his positions in a number of important cases, most notably on the Constitution and the response to the Alien and Sedition Laws. Claims that TJ was ordinarily bolder and more imaginative in projecting hypotheses than Madison and that his thought was characteristically experimental and pragmatic, whereas Madison was more strictly logical.

Reference: 1750

Notes: "... the right to the pursuit of happiness consists of the right to pursuit, not of material advantages, but of the life of reason and the fulfillment of the human nature."
