Carl J. Richard, The Founders and the Classics. Cambridge, Massachusettes, 1994.

Review:

“This is a well-conceived, solidly researched, and ably argued book about the influence of the classics in the the political thought of the founding fathers… This work will be required reading for historians interested in the ideological origins of the American republic. It makes a significant contribution to our understanding of the intellectual complexities of the period.”
