Review

Jefferson and the Rights of Man is better, even, than its predecessor, and that is saying a great deal. What I like particularly is that Malone... has by some great miracle, achieved something of Jefferson's own combination of profundity and erudition and gracefulness.

--Henry Steele Commager
