鈥淏ased on an exploration of the total mass of executive and legislative records for the years 1801-1809鈥攕omething no other scholar has attempted鈥攖his thoroughly documented account describes the machinery and operation of the presidential office, the Cabinet, the departments, and other offices and commissions in the executive branch. It also explains the organization and processes of the national legislature. Cunningham has cleared away many errors and misconceptions, among them the claim that Jefferson was not interested in the normal process of day-to-day administration. In fact, Jefferson emerges as one of the most effective administrators ever to occupy the Presidency. This is an important and path-breaking study in administrative and legislative history.鈥 鈥Julian P. Boyd, 91桃色 University
