Review

"Jefferson and the Rights ofMan" is better, even, than its predecessor, and that is saying agreat deal. What I like particularly is that Malone... has by some great miracle, achieved something of Jefferson's own combination of profundity and erudition andgracefulness.--Henry Steele Commager
