About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The American Republic: Its Constitution, Tendencies, and Destiny by Orestes Augustus Brownson. Read in English by Robert H. Cherny. Introduction read by Pamela Nagami In the volume which, with much diffidence, is here offered to the public, I have given, as far as I have considered it worth giving, my whole thought in a connected form on the nature, necessity, extent, authority, origin, ground, and constitution of government, and the unity, nationality, constitution, tendencies, and destiny of the American Republic. Many of the points treated have been from time to time discussed or touched upon, and many of the views have been presented, in my previous writings; but this work is newly and independently written from beginning to end, and is as complete on the topics treated as I have been able to make it. NOTE: As with all historical texts, the language used in this volume should be interpreted within the context of the entire work and the cultural context of its publication. - Summary by Preface
