Reprint of the second edition of 1896, with a new introduction by William Murchison. Two volumes, quarter grey cloth, nat. linen-covered boards, white titles on spines, blind & grey titles on front boards, red ribbon bookmarks bound in, xxx, 479, [1], xxv, 501, [1] pp. From the Introduction: "Democracy and Liberty is about a great many things besides democracy and liberty in purest form. To name only a few of these things: the Irish land question, Indian suttee, Mormonism and polygamy, England's Italian Policy, gambling, drunkenness as a disease, divorce, and women's rights. ... The argument of the book is the incompatibility of two concepts which, in the late 20th century, are regarded virtually as twins--democracy and liberty. ... What Lecky feared was that his country's government would pass out of the hands of gentlemen and 'into the hands of professional politicians'--like those to be found in the United States. ... Already in Britain, since democracy had taken root, there was more bribe-taking, more apostasy, more flouting of principle." Shipping weight 6 lbs. Reprint 23 X 16 cm; Reprint
