---MADE IN USA---FULL LEATHER BOUND EDITION--- Book is new with the exception of some minor scratches to the gilding. Gold stamping on cover/spine, gilded page edges, hubbed spine and satin book ribbon--- Of all her writings,�Considerations on the Principal Events of the French Revolution, published posthumously in 1818, is Stael s most important political work, becoming a classic of liberal thinking. She recounts the momentous events of the French Revolution, including the fall of the Bastille and the resulting terror. Anticipating Tocqueville s analysis of the Revolution, Stael saw the events of 1789 as an inevitable phenomenon that could not have been averted by the efforts of a few individuals. Aurelian Craiutu states that�Considerations�explores the prerequisites of liberty, constitutionalism and rule of law, the necessary limits on power, the relation between social order and political order, the dependence of liberty on morality and religion, and the question of the institutional foundations of a free regime. Throughout the six parts of�Considerations, Stael offers memorable insights into the events, institutions, and personalities of the time, including an unflattering portrait of Napoleon Bonaparte. Part six is a vigorous defense of constitutional liberty and the rule of law. The final chapter, Of the Love of Liberty, makes a persuasive case for political liberty that is still relevant and timely today. Seller Inventory # 17-810
