Description

2V Thomas Erskin May DEMOCRACY IN EUROPE 1877 Deluxe Fancy Leather Binding Scarce First Printing Political History Freedom Enlightenment Netherlands France England Switzerland Italian Republics Dark Ages Rome Greece The East Jews

Title: Democracy in Europe: A History
Author: Thomas Erskine May - Thomas Erskine May, 1st Baron Farnborough, KCB, PC was a British constitutional theorist.
Publisher: Longmans, Green, and Co.
City: London
Year: 1877
Printing Information: First Printing
Binding Style: Hardcover
Number of Volumes: 2 Full Set: Yes
Width: 5.75" Height: 8.75"
Book Details: This complete two-volume set presents with a deluxe fancy leather binding, featuring decorative marbled paper, raised spines with gilt lettering and tooling, and marbled page edges. These volumes are a scarce first printing.

From the preface: â€œNo political question of the present time excites more profound interest, than the progress of Democracy, or popular power, in European States. It gravely affects the interests of society, and the welfare of nations. By some it is regarded with satisfaction and hopefulness; by others with repugnance and dread. But all must desire to learn the causes to which it may be ascribed: how far it has contributed to the good government of States; and what have been its dangers and its mischiefs. A careful study of history, by establishing some political truths, and removing many prejudices, may conduce to the better understanding of this important subject; and, with this view, I have endeavoured to trace the fortunes of Democracy, and political liberty, throughout the history of Europe.â€
Condition / Notes: These beautifully bound volumes show very well, with sone typical indications of age and wear, icnlduing mild shelfwear and rubbing to the spines. The bindings and text blocks are sound. Text is clear and crisp on very clean pages. These volumes are ex-library, and bear library attachments and markings. There is tape and tape residue on the lower portion of the spines.
