    A Dusty Tomes Audio BookIn Cooperation with Spoken Realms 
    Jacksonian Democracy 1829–1837 by William MacDonald, LLD. Professor of History in Brown University. Published in 1906 by Harper and Brothers. 
    Narrated by Joseph Tabler. This book is in the public domain. It is read ‘as written.' 
    Volume 15 of 27 in The American Nation: A History From Original Sources by Associated Scholars published by Harper Brothers (1904–1918). Edited by Albert Bushnell Hart, Professor of History at Harvard University. 
    In the Editor’s Introduction to the Series: That a new history of the United States is needed, extending from the discovery down to the present time hardly needs a statement. No such comprehensive work by a competent writer is now in existence. Individual writers have treated only limited chronological fields. Meantime there is a rapid increase of published sources and serviceable monographs based on material hitherto unused. On the one side, there is a necessity for an intelligent summarizing of the present knowledge of American history by trained specialists; on the other hand, there is a need for a complete work, written in an untechnical style, which shall serve for the instruction and the entertainment of the general reader. 
    From the Editor’s Introduction to Volume Fifteen: Hardly any year in American history so distinctly marks the transition from one era to another as 1829. The character of Andrew Jackson is so distinct and so aggressive that few writers upon the period can resist the temptation to group the events of his administration around his personality. This temptation Professor MacDonald has resisted. His conception of the period is that it witnessed the fruition of national policies, nearly all of which would have come up and would have divided the nation had there been no Andrew Jackson. At the same time, he shows how that dominant personality determined when and how most of the great questions should arise; and how Jackson hammered out a series of political principles that became the foundation of a new democratic party. 
    From the Author’s Preface: The present narrative has been kept, for the most part, strictly within the limits of the eight years of Jackson’s administration. It has not, however, been possible in all cases to avoid summarizing the early course of movements having important development within this period, though I have tried to avoid undue overlapping. The subject of slavery is, by the plan of the series, excluded altogether. As I am not writing a life of Jackson, but an account of his time, many personal details have also been omitted. 
    The volume is, in part, the outcome of special studies, of which the fruit has been presented in lectures given in the ordinary course of instruction at Bowdoin College and Brown University, and to summer classes at Harvard, Cornell, and the University of Chicago.
