First edition. Text in German, English and French. In contemporary hard paper binding. XXII, (2), 388 p. A rare and insightful analysis of the political history and democratic system of the United States, written through the lens of an Austrian statesman. Johann Georg Hülsemann, who later served as Austria's diplomatic representative in Washington from 1838 to 1863, views American democracy as a potential threat to Europe's monarchical and aristocratic order. This book, regarded as a semi-official reflection of the Austrian Cabinet's stance, delves into the challenges posed by the American model to European traditions. Hülsemann is also known for his notable diplomatic exchanges with U.S. Secretary of State Daniel Webster, particularly regarding the Hungarian Revolution of 1848.
