Sobre este artículo
Boston: Sever and Francis, 1864. Fourth Edition. Hardcover. Near fine. This is the 1864 two volume, large paper edition (high-quality laid paper), limited to 100 sets. Volume I is 559 pages. Volume 2 is 499 pages. (Both volumes 6.75 x 9.5 inches) Both volumes have been rebound in dark crimson buckram with gold lettering, as one might expect for a library, but not library copies. Bindings nice and bright and clean, very minor creases on spines, still fine. Full title pages in both volumes, no other preliminaries. Edges trimmed for the binding but retaining the large margins. Early owner's signature (O.W. Shaw) in pencil on the first volume title page. The contents of both volumes are fresh and clean, very high quality paper with no foxing, pages very flexible, not at all brittle. This is much finer printing than commonly seen in the period. A lovely period set.
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.
