Edward Carpenter’s Towards Democracy is well-known as a starting point of his later work.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1885 edition. Excerpt: ... The sun, the moon and the stars, the grass, the water that flows round the earth, and the light air of heaven: To You greeting. I too stand behind these and send you word across them. I. Freedom at last! Long sought, long prayed for--ages and ages long: The burden to which I continually return, seated here thick-booted and obvious yet dead and buried and passed into heaven, unsearchable (how know you indeed but what I have passed into you?); And Joy, beginning but without ending--the journey of journeys--Thought laid quietly aside: These things I, writing, translate for you--I wipe a mirror and place it in your hands. ii. The sun shines, as of old; the stars look down from heaven; the moon, crescent, sails in the twilight; on bushy tops in the warm nights, naked, with mad dance and song, the earth-children address themselves to love; Civilisation sinks and swims, but the old facts remain--the sun smiles, knowing well its strength. The little red stars appear once more on the hazel boughs, shining among the catkins; over waste lands the pewit tumbles and cries as at the first day; men with horses go out on the land--they shout and chide and strive--and return again glad at evening; the old earth breathes deep and rhythmically, night and day, summer and winter, giving and concealing herself. I arise out of the dewy night and shake my wings. Tears and lamentations are no more. Life and death lie stretched below me. I breathe the sweet aether blowing of the breath of God. Deep as the universe is my life--and I know it; nothing can dislodge the knowledge of it; nothing can destroy, nothing can harm me. Joy, joy arises--I arise. The sun darts overpowering piercing rays of joy through me, the night radiates it from me. I take wings through the...

This pioneering work of political history recovers the central and largely forgotten role that petitioning played in the formative years of North American democracy. Known as the age of democracy, the nineteenth century witnessed the extension of the franchise and the rise of party politics. As Daniel Carpenter shows, however, democracy in America emerged not merely through elections and parties, but through the transformation of an ancient political tool: the petition. A statement of grievance accompanied by a list of signatures, the petition afforded women and men excluded from formal politics the chance to make their voices heard and to reshape the landscape of political possibility. Democracy by Petition traces the explosion and expansion of petitioning across the North American continent. Indigenous tribes in Canada, free Blacks from Boston to the British West Indies, Irish canal workers in Indiana, and Hispanic settlers in territorial New Mexico all used petitions to make claims on those in power. Petitions facilitated the extension of suffrage, the decline of feudal land tenure, and advances in liberty for women, African Americans, and Indigenous peoples. Even where petitioners failed in their immediate aims, their campaigns advanced democracy by setting agendas, recruiting people into political causes, and fostering aspirations of equality. Far more than periodic elections, petitions provided an everyday current of communication between officeholders and the people. The coming of democracy in America owes much to the unprecedented energy with which the petition was employed in the antebellum period. By uncovering this neglected yet vital strand of nineteenth-century life, Democracy by Petition will forever change how we understand our political history.
