"A superb study of a thinker long neglected. Highly recommended." C.E. Butterworth, University of Maryland College Park, CHOICE
"Based on an extensive array of printed and original manuscript sources, William's analysis of Condorcet's politics is a major contribution to Enlightenment studies. The book is thoroughly documented, annotated, and includes an extensive bibliography of primary and secondary sources." - Andrzej Dziedzic, University of Wisconsin, Oshkosh
"A great virtue of David William's account of Condorcet is that he brings clearly into focus both hsi free-trade economic theories and his political thought (including his relationship with Thomas Jefferson and other American founding fathers). These aspects have in the past often been dealth with in isolation." - Jonathan israel, Institute for Advanced Study The Historian
"Williams's study is a solid and valuable one." History Review of New Books
