Beschreibung
Beschreibung:
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. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 6203

First edition in English, of Tocquevilleâs magnum opus. Octavo, 2 volumes, original publisher's cloth. Without the blank leaf between the appendix and notes in volume one. Likely a review copy, inscribed on the front free endpaper, "Editor of the North American Review, with respects of Weeks Jordan & Co. Boston, Publisher." The North American Review was the first literary magazine in the United States. It was founded in Boston in 1815 by journalist Nathan Hale and others. It was published continuously until 1940, after which it was inactive until revived at Cornell College in Iowa under Robert Dana in 1964. In very good condition. Housed in a custom half morocco and folding chemise slipcase. Ownership names. First editions are rare, particularly in the original publisher's cloth. âOne of the most important texts in political literatureâ (PMM). âThis is by far the best book ever written about America, and the most penetrating book ever written about democracy. It won instant acclaim, not only in the writerâs native France, where Royer-Collard declared: âNothing equal to it had appeared since Montesquieu,â but in England, where John Stuart Mill hailed it as âamong the most remarkable productions of our time.â Its central theme is that democracy has become inevitable; that it is, with certain qualifications, desirable; but that it has great potentialities for evil as well as good, depending upon how well it is understood and guided. In the view of de Tocqueville, the greatest danger that threatens democracy is its tendency toward the centralization and concentration of power⦠There is revived interest in Tocqueville today because of what seems like the uncanny clairvoyance of his prophecies. For example (this by a Frenchman in 1835): âThere are at the present time two great nations in the world, which started from different points, but seem to tend towards the same end. I allude to the Russians and the Americans⦠The principal instrument of [America] is liberty; of [Russia] servitude. Their starting point is different and their courses are not the same; yet each of them seems marked by the will of Heaven to sway the destinies of half the globeâ (Hazlitt, 163).
