M. DE TOCQUEVILLE. LETTERS ON THE TRUTHS CONTAINED IN POPULAR SUPERSTITIONS. FOUR SONNETS BY ELIZABETH BARRETT BROWNING. ROSAURA: A TALE OF MADRID. THE VISIBLE AND TANGIBLE. CHARLES DE BERNARD. BELISARIUS,WAS HE BLIND? ANCIENT AND MODERN BALLAD POETRY. EPITAPH OF CONSTANTINE KANARIS. SCOTTISH MELODIES. BY DELTA. THE SCOTCH MARRIAGE BILL. M. De Tocqueville is one of the greatest, perhaps the very greatest, of the political philosophers of the present day. Alone of all his contemporaries, his best works will bear a comparison with those of Machiavelli and Bacon. Less caustic and condensed than Tacitus, less imaginative and eloquent than Burke, he possesses the calm judgment, the discriminating eye, and the just reflection, which have immortalised the Florentine statesman and the English philosopher. Born and bred in the midst of the vehement strife of parties in his own country, placed midway, as it were, between the ruins of feudal and the reconstruction of modern society in France, he has surveyed the contest with an impartial gaze. He has brought to the examination of republican institutions in the United States, the eye of calm reason and the powers of philosophic reflection. The war-cries, the illusions, the associations of neither party have been able to disturb his steady mind. Though a man of rank, descended, as his name indicates, of an ancient family, he is not bigoted in favour of the old rgime; though belonging to a profession where strenuous efforts can alone ensure success, he is not blind to the dangers of the new order of things. The feudal ages, with their dignified manners, glorious episodes, and heart-stirring recollections, are not lost upon him, but they have not closed his eyes to the numerous evils which they brought in their train. Modern times, with their general activity, vast achievements, and boundless anticipations, have produced their full effect on his thoughtful mind; but they have not rendered him insensible to the perils with which they are fraught. He is a Burke without his imaginationa Machiavelli without his crimes. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
