Idea a party system; rise of legitimate opposition in the United States, 1780-1840
Hofstadter, Richard
Idea a party system; rise of legitimate opposition in the United States, 1780-1840 - London University of California Press 1970 - 280 p.
This book has grown out of the Jefferson Memorial Lectures, given at the University of California, Berkeley, October 1966. The lectures, which were intended for listeners who could not have been expected to be immersed in American history or political science, no doubt still show signs of a manner suitable to a leisurely oral exposition before a general audience. As the book changed in revision, it expanded-not quite into a full account of the ideas of party held by the Jeffersonians (such a significant thinker for this purpose as John Taylor receives only peripheral notice), but at least into a fuller ac count of this phase of our history. In order to establish the partisan dialogue, something also had to be said about a few of the Federalist leaders.
