You all remember that the final is coming up Monday at 8am, right? You read me right, 8 in the morning.

Pay some particular attention to the Tocqueville Chapter assigned to go with Lecture 15, which will be presented in archived form on this Thursday. Be sure to grasp the definition of democratic history as opposed to aristocratic history. The essay on the final exam will deal with this distinction. If you fail to nail it, well, you cannot say you were not warned!

You'll find the slides for Lecture 15 archived here--
