Letter to to the publisher of Adolphe Their’s books. Tocqueville, who had just been elected a member of the Constituent Assembly of 1848, is interested in helping Mr. Obermeyer translating into German the famous book On Property by the prominent French Statesman Adolphe Thiers, that had been just published in French. He says he spoke to Thiers who agrees that Obermeyer would be the best translator. Signed at the conclusion, “Alexis de Tocqueville, member of the Institute and of the Constituent Assembly.” In fine condition, with a few light pencil remnants and some scattered light toning and soiling.
