Maroon Cloth Hardback. Etat : Very Good. New Edition. 1875. New edition, with a biographical notice by the translator and some additional notes. xliii, 445pp. and 2 pages of reviews; xvii, 350pp., a 1 page advertisement for The Greville Memoirs at the atart of the book and a 2 page catlogue at the end. Alexis Charles Henri Clérel, comte de Tocqueville (1805-1859) was a French aristocrat, diplomat, political scientist, political philosopher and historian. Democracy in America, first published in two volumes in 1835 and 1840, is one of his best known works. It was published after Tocqueville's travels in the United States, and in it he analyses the living standards and social conditions of individuals as well as their relationship to the market and state in Western societies, and is today considered an early work of sociology and political science. The two volumes are uniformly bound in the original maroon cloth covered boards with gold titling on the spines. The cases of the books are in very good condition with some shelf wear and light soiling on the boards. The spines are slightly faded with bumping to the spine ends. The contents are tight and clean with foxing to the back of the free endpapers in both volumes, the half-title page and 2 pages of reviews in volume 1, and the advertisement at the start and catalogue at the end of volume 2. There is a small stain on the bottom edge of the contents pages and pages 1 to 5 of volume 1. There is no inscription.

Edition originale
First edition in English of Tocquevilleâ s magnum opus. Octavo, 2 volumes, bound in three quarters period calf over marbled boards with gilt titles and tooling to the spine, marbled endpapers, all edges marbled, half-titles, folding engraved map. I very good condition. At attractive contemporary binding. 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).
