Democracy: A Debate Between Professor Blackie and Ernest Jones, Held at Edinburgh, January, 1867 is a book that presents a debate between two prominent figures of the 19th century on the topic of democracy. The debate was held in Edinburgh in January 1867 and was later transcribed and published in 1885. The two speakers, John Stuart Blackie, a professor of Greek at the University of Edinburgh, and Ernest Jones, a Chartist leader and lawyer, present their opposing views on the merits and drawbacks of democracy as a political system. Blackie argues in favor of a limited democracy, which he believes should be reserved for educated and responsible citizens, while Jones advocates for universal suffrage and the extension of democracy to all members of society. The book provides a fascinating insight into the political and social debates of the Victorian era and offers valuable perspectives on the ongoing discussions about democracy and its role in modern society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
