Excerpt from On Democracy

This work arose out of considerations suggested by another work, published concurrently herewith, and entitled "The Making of the American Nation, or the Rise and Decline of Oligarchy in the West."

the one is a study on the great, and indeed, only precedent of Democracy, its origin, history, qualities, conflicts, and reconstruction. The other work, the present one, is a consideration of the general theory of Democracy, with special reference to the traditions and future of England.
