Complete two volume set in slipcase. Full title - DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA BY ALEXIS DE TOCQUEVILLE; THE HENRY REEVE TEXT AS REVISED BY FRANCIS BOWEN NOW FURTHER CORRECTED AND EDITED WITH INTRODUCTION, EDITORIAL NOTES, AND BIBLIOGRAPHIES BY PHILLIPS BRADLEY. VOLS. I + II. Thirteenth printings (as stated upon each volume's respective copyright page; originally published April 1945). Brown cloth slipcase, H 22.75cm x L 16cm, with inner white felt lining; some external rubbing with slender scratch to top panel; seams are firm. Undecorated clear acetate/mylar dust jackets lightly rubbed. Both hardcover volumes, H 21.75cm x L 15cm, in handsome dark brown leather-style binding; four slightly raised bands to spines; bright gilt stamping to boards and spines; Volume I's front board personalized with gilt lettered "Robert E. Cannon" at bottom center (rear colophon credits typographic scheme and binding design to W.A. Dwiggins - William Addison Dwiggins, 1880-1956, but, of course, that must reference the original edition as this 1980 set is posthumous). Gilt top edges; deckle fore-edges. Faux marbling effect to front and rear endpapers. Interior pages are bright and clean. Bindings retain some crispness. A fine set in a near fine slipcase. VOLUME I: [2], i-cxiv, 1-434, i-xii, [3] pages. VOLUME II: [2], i-xiv, 1-401, [1], i-x, [2] pages. The most attractive modern edition of DEMOCRACY IN AMERICA encountered by this bookseller; no publisher statement explaining the binding so curious whether this was a special issue by Knopf or perhaps a post-purchase rebinding by the aforementioned owner Robert E. Cannon (no bookbindery ticket present to aid such a determination) - the presence of a very sturdy slipcase seems indicative of a specialist binder as publisher trade slipcases rarely reflect such rigid construction. Acquired from a Tupelo, Mississippi estate with no further provenance known. Issued as part of Alfred A. Knopf's "The American Past: An Informal Series." Please note that this set has an approximate shipping weight of 5 pounds (2.26 kg) and may require additional postage for any postal class other than domestic Media Mail.

Précieuse lettre autographe inédite signée de Tocqueville, du 8août 1844, par laquelle il recommande le tout jeune Gobineau (1816-1882) au spécialiste français des organismes de prévoyance: quoique son nom n'apparaisse pas en tête de la lettre, il s'agit du baron Charles Dupin (1784-1873) qui venait de publier Constitution, histoire et avenir des Caisses d'épargne de France (Paris, Firmin-Didot, 1844). Deux membres de l'Académie des Sciences morales et politiques. Tocqueville s'intéresse alors au sujet des caisses d'épargne dans le cadre d'une étude à l'ambition beaucoup plus large, relevant de la philosophie politique: "Monsieur et cher confrère, / Je suis chargé, comme vous ne l'ignorez pas, par l'Académie des sciences morales et politiques d'un grand travail qui a pour objet de rechercher quels on été les progrès pratiques de la morale depuis cinquante ans et de quelle manière celle-ci a de plus en plus pénétré dans la sphère des affaires publiques et inspiré les législateurs." Charles Dupin aurait été peu fondé, en effet, à ignorer la mission confiée à Tocqueville par L'Académie des sciences morales et politiques -une création, ou plutôt une recréation de Guizot en 1832- puisque tout comme lui il en était membre. Une trace précoce de l'amitié entre Tocqueville et Gobineau, de onze ans son cadet. Après avoir souligné l'intérêt pour son étude des "institutions de bienfaisance" dont les caisses d'épargne sont un exemple, Tocqueville explique avoir délégué une part notable de ses recherches préparatoires à "un de mes amis Mr de Gobineau" - Gobineau qui, à moins de trente ans, n'est encore ni l'auteur de l'Essai sur l'inégalité des races humaines (1853-55) ni même l'éminent spécialiste de la civilisation persane. Le contexte de cette collaboration -et, partant, de la présente lettre- se trouve clairement exposé dans la présentation des lettres de Tocqueville à Gobineau lui-même qui furent publiées dans la Revue des Deux Mondes (5e période, t.39) en 1907: "Les origines de leur amitié ne nous sont pas connues. Mais on se les expliquera facilement en considérant que tous deux étaient issus de familles royalistes et qu'ils avaient des amis communs, comme le comte de Kergolay." Il est permis de penser, en parcourant ces missives, que ce travail commun n'aboutit jamais, même si la Revue des Deux Mondes se montre à ce sujet prudente: "Nous ne savons pas ce qu'est devenu ce travail: il ne se trouve ni dans les Mémoire de l'Académie, ni dans les ?uvres complètes de Tocqueville." À la recherche du temps perdu? La lettre à Dupin laisse d'ailleurs deviner chez Tocqueville un certain découragement, précoce, vis à vis d'une tâche pour laquelle il semble que Gobineau, son nègre pour ainsi dire, n'ait pas non plus fait preuve d'un enthousiasme excessif? "Seriez-vous assez bon pour lui donner quelque avis sur la manière dont il doit diriger son travail? Vous êtes assurément l'homme de France qui connait le mieux la matière dont il va s'occuper et j'a pensé que quelques indications de vous lui seraient bien utiles et pourraient me mettre moi-même plus en état que je ne suis de remplir les vues de l'Académie." En revanche, les louanges qu'il adresse à Charles Dupin paraissent avoir été sincères, puisqu'il est généralement reconnu que c'est chez cet économiste -également ingénieur, mathématicien et, dit-on, inspiration du personnage d'Edgar Poe partageant son patronyme- que Tocqueville avait puisé une grande part des conceptions exposées dans ses premiers écrits de la fin des années 1830 sur le paupérisme. Quant aux relations privilégiés entre Tocqueville, le modéré, et son cadet, plus royaliste que le roi, elles survivront à l'échec probable de leur commune entreprise puisque lorsque lorsque le philosophe du célèbre De la démocratie en Amérique deviendra l'éphémère ministre des Affaires étrangères du gouvernement Barrot en 1849, son directeur de cabinet, en dépit de ces opinions politiques dissemblables, ne sera autre qu'Arthur de Gobineau.
