About this book
Only the first volume of Democracy in America appears in this schoolroom edition, issued in New York in 1851 with added notes by John C. Spencer. The American publishers wanted a cheaper form that schools and district collections could buy. They judged the second volume, on how democracy shapes manners and habits, to be separate and left it out, reasoning that the first stands complete by itself. Alexis de Tocqueville's text deals with how democratic principle works in the political institutions of the United States, including the structure of its governments.
