Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a reminder of the dangers that can threaten a republic, and how to defend against them. It traces the history of republics, drawing comparisons to the United States, with an emphasis on the degrading effects of luxury. The author stresses that republics can only survive when citizens are honest and virtuous, and that the departure from this ideal has led to the decline of past republics. Written in the era just before the American Civil War, the book is a historical and political analysis, full of exhortations to oppose the corruptions of the day, and to return to the principles on which the republic was founded.
