摘要

The essay, which Tocqueville, who became known in Europe after the publication of the first volume of De la démocratie en Amérique, wrote at the request of John Stuart Mill, appeared in 1836 in the London and Westminster Review, where Mill was then engaged. Tocqueville’s remarks on the “État social et politique de la France avant et depuis 1789” (OC II, 1, 31–66), which was to explain the historical development of France to an English audience, already anticipated some of the main features of the argument of the late work two decades before the publication of L’Ancien Régime et la Révolution.
