Housed in a custom clamshell box. $8800.First edition in book form of Adams' controversial essays on the dangers of unbridled democracy a key work of the Federalist period and central to ongoing disputes between Jefferson and Adams.John Adams' highly contested Discourses on Davila was prompted by Jefferson's firm declaration of ""his faith in reason and democracy as the sufficiency of human reason for the care of human affairs."" Alarmed by the fresh violence of the French Revolution Adams disagreed feeling ""the 'sufficiency' of reason alone for the care of human affairs was by no means clear The will of the majority if out of hand could lead to 'horrible ravages' he was sure. 'My fundamental maxim of government is never to trust the lamb to the wolf More than he had in his Defence of the Constitutions 1787-1788 Adams stressed the perils of unbridled unbalanced democracy"" McCullough 420-421. Clearly voicing a ""belief that a strong stabilizing forcea strong executive a hereditary senate or a natural aristocracywas an essential bulwark of popular liberties"" Discourses on Davila helped fuel a divide that ultimately led anti-Federalists to mount ""an intense but unsuccessful campaign"" against Adams Hatfield 3-11. This volume contains the first publication in book form of his articles printed in the Gazette of the United States 1790 largely a distillation of Davila's 17th-century account of the French civil wars.

Head and tails of spines with a bit of light wear the cloth in quite nice condition. IMPORTANT FIRST EDITION OF THESE WONDERFUL CORRESPONDENCES. As Charles Francis Adams says in his preface: ěThere was no hypocrisy in him whilst alive and it would scarcely be doing him justice to invest him with a share of it after his death. His character and that of his compeers must go down to be judged by posterity with whom there is no chance of the fear or favor that affects the verdicts of contemporary generations.<br> The great recommendation of this correspondence in a historical point of view is that as connected with the period of which it treats it is probably unique. Nothing of the same kind has thus far appeared from any quarter much less from persons so actively interested in the management of affairs.America is not the place for preservation of papers in the hands of families. The modes of life are too migratory and the means of subsistence too precarious to be favorable to this object. For this reason is it that the domestic feelings of the revolution are already rapidly eluding the grasp of investigators.We are beginning to forget that the patriots of former days were men like ourselves acting and acted upon like the present race and we are almost irresistibly led to ascribe to them in our imaginations certain gigantic proportions and superhuman qualities without reflecting that his at once robs their characters of consistency and their virtues of all merit.The present race of Americans may not be called to make precisely the same exertions in the field that were made by their predecessors but.will be subjected to .struggles perhaps even more violent than theirs.The path of rectitude and of honor are equally hard to tread in every age and under every clime.î<br> Adamsí letters of July 3 1776 are telling and representative of the quality of thought and writing throughout the totality. ěYesterday the greatest question was decided which ever was debated in America and a greater perhaps never was nor will be decided among men. A Resolution was passed without one dissenting Colony ěthat these United Colonies are and of right ought to be free and independent States and as such they have and of right ought to have full power to make war conclude peace establish commerce and to do all other acts and things which other States may rightfully do.î You will see in a few days a Declaration setting forth the causes which have impelled us to this mighty revolution and the reasons which will justify it in the sight of God and man.î Charles C. Little and James Brown hardcover
