Description

Commentaire sur l’Esprit des Lois de Montesquieu (1806) is a critique of Montesquieu’s pessimistic appraisal of democracy in De l’Esprit des Lois. While minister to France in the 1780s Jefferson saw this work in manuscript. It so impressed him that he arranged for its publication in France and translated it anonymously for publication in America. Looking back at this work in a letter from 1811, Jefferson commended it for correcting De l’Esprit des Lois. While other studies “nibbled only at its errors,” he told his correspondent, this work rebutted them “with a depth of thought, precision of idea, of language and of logic, which will force conviction into every mind. I declare to you, Sir, in the spirit of truth and sincerity, that I consider it the most precious gift the present age has received.”: The Writings of Thomas Jefferson V:566-571. Reprint of the first edition. viii. 292 pp.
