From: Burnside Rare Books, ABAA (Portland, OR, U.S.A.)
About this Item: Charles Gosselin, Paris, 1835. Condition: Near Fine. First Edition. 2 Volumes. First edition of the first part, text in French. Finely bound in contemporary quarter calf over mottled paper covered boards, with all edges marbled. Pp. (4) + xxiv + 367; (4) + 459, engraved, handcolored folding map. Near Fine, with contents toned, and faint speckling to top corner of front cover of Volume I. Small edge tear to folding map. Tocqueville was sent to America by the French government to study the prison system. During his nine-month stay, he used his official business as a pretext to study American society, and wrote his classic text upon his return to France. Though an instant success, this first part was published in January of 1835 in a small edition of less than 500 copies; the second part was published five years later, issued concurrently with the eighth edition of the first part.

Quantity Available: 1
From: Sequitur Books (Boonsboro, MD, U.S.A.)
About this Item: New York : Adlard and Saunders, 1839. Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 3rd American ed., rev. and corr. 3rd American ed. Revised and Corrected. Bound in publisher's green cloth. Rebacked, with renewed spine cloth. xvi, 455 p. Foxing throughout. English translation of "De la democratie en Amerique," first published in French in 1835. Tocqueville's extremely important and influential analysis of American democracy is "one of the most important texts in political literature." (PMM). Democracy in America is "the first systematic and empirical study of the effects of political power on modern society" (Nisbet). Overall, Tocqueville's conclusions were that the trend of history would irresistibly lean towards equality; and that the future of France, indeed of the Western world, was bound up with the acceptance of democratic principles, these being the one effective means of avoiding submission to tyranny (Harvey and Heseltine, 711). Translated by Henry Reeve, Esq. ; with an original preface and notes by John C. Spencer. Seller Inventory # 1908060024
