ISBN-13: 9781584772491; ISBN-10: 1584772492. The First Edition in English Tocqueville, Alexis de. Democracy in America. Translated by Henry Reeve, Esq. With an Original Preface and Notes by John C. Spencer. Originally published: New York: Adlard and Saunders, 1838. xxx, 464 pp. Reprinted 2003, 2019 by The Lawbook Exchange, Ltd. ISBN-13: 9781584772491; ISBN-10: 1584772492. Hardcover. New. $29.95 * The first English-language edition published in 1838 translated by Henry Reeve, Esq. with Preface and notes by John C. Spencer. In 1831 Alexis de Tocqueville [1805-1859] and Gustave de Beaumont [fl.1835] traveled through the United States on behalf of the French government to study American prisons, which were renowned for their progressive and humane methods. They were pleased to accept this assignment because they were intrigued by the idea of American democracy. Tocqueville and Beaumont spent nine months in the country, traveling as far west as Michigan and as far south as New Orleans. Throughout the tour, they used their social connections to arrange meetings with several influential Americans in the worlds of politics, law, business, social reform and the arts. Tocqueville recorded his thoughts on the structure of the government and the judicial system, and commented on everyday people and the nation's political culture and social institutions. His observations on slavery, in particular, are impassioned and critical. These notes formed the basis of Democracy in America. This landmark work initiated a dialogue about the nature of democracy and the United States and its people that continues to this day.

The second edition in English of the first part and the first edition in English of the second part. Translation of de Tocqueville's 'De la d'émocratie en Amérique.' Sir Robert Peel, Bt. (1788-1850) was a British Conservative stateman, who served twice as Prime Minister and twice as Home Secretary, as well as founding the Metropolitan Police Service. He notably issued the Tamworth Manifesto and voted against his party to repeal the Corn Laws. A reference to the work by Robert Peel can be found in his acceptance speech as Rector of Glasgow University in 1837: "Let me earnestly advise your perusal of the work, if you have not yet read it, of a very able and intelligent Frenchman, who has made the institutions of the United States the peculiar object of his observation and study. He is an advocate of popular principles in a most extensive sense - his feelings are altogether with the present dynasty of France, as compared with the former. His testimony, as well from actual personal experience, as on account of freedom from prejudice, is above exception. M. Tocqueville is the name of the Frenchman to whom I allude; and this is the account which he gives of the results produced by republican institutions in the United States, in respect to that which one would have thought was the especial good they would realise ; namely, independence of thought, and liberty of speech and action. He says - " I know no country in which there is so little true independence of mind, and freedom of discussion, as in America. In America the majority raises very formidable barriers to the liberty of opinion. Within these barriers an author may write whatever he pleases, but he will repent it if he ever step beyond them." (Loud cheers.) " In democratic states, organised on the principles of the American republics, the authority of the majority is so absolute, so irresistible, that a man must give up his rights as a citizen, and almost abjure his quality as a human being, if he intends to stray from the track which it lays down." There is freedom for you, if you are inclined to have a will of your own! "If ever the free institutions of America are destroyed, that event may be attributed to the unlimited authority of the majority, which may at some future time urge the minorities to desperation, and oblige them to have recourse to physical force. Anarchy will then be the result, but it will have been brought about by despotism." (Long-continued cheering.) M. Tocqueville then quotes the expression of opinion by Jefferson, whom he declares to be the most powerful advocate of democratic principles the United States ever produced. "The executive power," said Jefferson, "is not the only, perhaps not the most prominent, object of my solicitude. The tyranny of the legislature is the danger most to be feared.". 1377830.

Erstausgabe
First edition in English, of Tocquevilleâ s magnum opus. Octavo, 2 volumes, original publisher's cloth. Without the blank leaf between the appendix and notes in volume one. Likely a review copy, inscribed on the front free endpaper, "Editor of the North American Review, with respects of Weeks Jordan & Co. Boston, Publisher." The North American Review was the first literary magazine in the United States. It was founded in Boston in 1815 by journalist Nathan Hale and others. It was published continuously until 1940, after which it was inactive until revived at Cornell College in Iowa under Robert Dana in 1964. In very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco and folding chemise slipcase. Ownership names. First editions are rare, particularly in the original publisher's cloth. â One of the most important texts in political literatureâ (PMM). â This is by far the best book ever written about America, and the most penetrating book ever written about democracy. It won instant acclaim, not only in the writerâ s native France, where Royer-Collard declared: â Nothing equal to it had appeared since Montesquieu,â but in England, where John Stuart Mill hailed it as â among the most remarkable productions of our time.â Its central theme is that democracy has become inevitable; that it is, with certain qualifications, desirable; but that it has great potentialities for evil as well as good, depending upon how well it is understood and guided. In the view of de Tocqueville, the greatest danger that threatens democracy is its tendency toward the centralization and concentration of powerâ ¦ There is revived interest in Tocqueville today because of what seems like the uncanny clairvoyance of his prophecies. For example (this by a Frenchman in 1835): â There are at the present time two great nations in the world, which started from different points, but seem to tend towards the same end. I allude to the Russians and the Americansâ ¦ The principal instrument of [America] is liberty; of [Russia] servitude. Their starting point is different and their courses are not the same; yet each of them seems marked by the will of Heaven to sway the destinies of half the globeâ (Hazlitt, 163).
