The Recollections Of Alexis De Tocqueville PDF Download

Excerpt from The Recollections of Alexis De Tocqueville Alexis de Tocqueville had the rare merit of being able to forestall this verdict of posterity; and if we endeavour to discover the secret of this prescience, of the loftiness of sight with which he was so specially gifted, we shall find that, belonging to no party, he remained above all parties; that, depend ing upon no leader, he kept his hands free; and that, possessed of no vulgar ambition, he reserved his energies for the noble aim which he had in View - the triumph of liberty and of the dignity of man.
