About this Item
Description:
Two volumes. [6],3-387; [4],447pp. plus engraved color folding map of North America. Contemporary half calf and marbled boards. Lightly rubbed, internally clean. A very good set. Second edition of the first part of this classic analysis of democracy in America, correcting the errors of the first edition of the same year. Tocqueville, under instructions of the French government, travelled to America in 1831 to study and report on the penal system. He was impressed with the political principles of American democracy during his nine months of travel, and he states his views and observations in this work, firm in his belief that the rest of the world is moving in the same direction. He includes discussions of major institutions and aspects of the federal government, the party system, and slavery, and foresees Russia and America as future antagonistic world super powers. HOWES T278. SABIN 96060. CLARK III:111. Seller Inventory # WRCAM19099
