New York, NY Washington Square Paperback, 1964. Paperback First Edition Thus [1964], Third Printing (1968). First published in French in 1835-1840. The Reeve translation was first published in 1863. Very Good+ in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: shows mild rubbing; the pages have tanned just a bit, due to aging; the white background field shows faint, but pervasive soiling, due rubbing. The binding remains square and secure; the text is clean. Free of any creases to the covers. Free of creases to the backstrip. Free of creased or dog-eared pages in the text. Free of any underlining, hi-lighting or marginalia or marks in the text. Free of ownership names, dates, addresses, notations, inscriptions, stamps, or labels. A handsome copy, structurally sound and tightly bound, showing mild wear and minor, unobtrusive flaws. No longer 'As New', but remains clean, sturdy, and quite presentable. NOT a Remainder, Book-Club, or Ex-Library. 12mo. (7 x 4.2 x 0.65 inches). xvi, 331 pages. Abridged, Edited and with an Introduction by Andrew Hacker. Translated by Henry Reeve.

Sinopsis
De la démocratie en Amérique (published in two volumes, the first in 1835 and the second in 1840) is a classic French text by Alexis de Tocqueville on the United States in the 1830s and its strengths and weaknesses. A literal translation of its title is On Democracy in America, but the usual translation of the title is simply Democracy in America. It is regarded as a classical account of the democratic system of the United States and has been used as an important reference ever since.
