*Claremont Review of Books*
Thomas Jefferson was the preeminent penman of the American
Revolution and the early American republic. He drafted the
Declaration of Independence; he composed the Virginia Statue of
Religion Freedom; and he penned many an unforgettable letter. But
he wrote only one book—his Notes on the State of Virginia—and until
now it has not been the subject of a full-length commentary. David
Tucker is to be praised for closely interrogating that work and for
drawing attention to a neglected question on which it throws
considerable light: the philosophical foundations of Jefferson's
republicanism.
