Book Overview

The Genius of Democracy: Or The Fall of Babylon is a book written by A. C. Harness in 1873. The book is a historical and political commentary on the rise and fall of Babylon, drawing parallels to the contemporary political climate of the United States. Harness argues that democracy is the greatest form of government, but warns of the dangers of corruption and tyranny that can arise if democracy is not properly maintained. The book is divided into three parts: the first part focuses on the history of Babylon and its downfall, the second part discusses the principles of democracy and their importance, and the third part explores the challenges facing democracy in the modern world. The Genius of Democracy is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of democracy and its potential for greatness and downfall.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
