Tocqueville acknowledgments and links
I decided to excerpt the above quote from the Mayer/Lawrence edition described above —
fully crediting J. P. Mayer and George Lawrence's work —
instead of obtaining the text from the on-line version pointed-to below,
in the hope this will encourage readers to buy or check out the foregoing fine translation of Alexis de Tocqueville's Democracy in America.
Tocqueville's travel diary from his years-long visit to America has also been published.
See:
Alexis de Tocqueville,
Journey to America,
edited by J. P. Mayer,
Yale paperback series, New Haven, 1962.
An on-line version of the entirety of Tocqueville's Democracy in America is available on the Internet
here.
The U.S. public affairs television network C-SPAN has done a tremendous amount of programming on Alexis de Tocqueville.
Do a search for “Toc” on the
index
for the C-SPAN on-line store to review all the programming on him that is available.
C-SPAN also has a nice
map
showing Tocqueville's travels in America.
Then there's the web page
“Tocqueville.org”
containing numerous links to information about Alexis de Tocqueville and his writings.
