It is unorthodox; it will outrage many people; but no one will deny the authority of its arguments, the happy dis enchantment of its mood, or the edged and sparkling irony of its style. The myths of history cast no spell on Mr. Hofstadter, so that he has been free to write a book noteworthy for its original interpretation of our chief political tradition and for its shrewd insight into the public character of our major statesmen.
