{"product_id":"the-american-democrat","title":"The American Democrat","description":"When The American Democrat was first published in 1838, Cooper’s position as America’s first major novelist obscured his serious contribution to the discussion of American principles and politics.\n“Yet Cooper,” says H. L. Mencken, “was probably the first American to write about Americans in the really frank spirit . . . a simple, sound and sensible tract, moderate in tone and extraordinarily astute in its conclusions.”\nCooper provides a concise statement of the principles of American democracy and of its social ramifications. He was concerned that these principles and our institutions would be perverted–especially by the confusion of an equality of rights with equality of condition.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0913966924\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0913966924.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:James Fenimore Cooper\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item shows wear from consistent use, but it remains in good condition and works perfectly.
