First (only) edition. The first
exposure of Babeuf's communist ideas which would find its summit in the Conspiracy of the
Equals in 1796, the first attempt to establish a communist society by means of violence. Babeuf, since
1794 naming himself Gracchus in honour of the Roman tribunes, was born in the province of Picardie and
there started his career as a surveyor. He became well acquainted with the miserable fate of the agricultural
population and under the influence of the philosophers of his time like Rousseau and Morelly developed a
genuinely communist revolutionary ideology.
The present book is much connected with Babeuf's
work as a surveyor. Its main object is to present a basis for a more righteous taxation related to landed
property. In the introduction of the book Babeuf launches a vehement offensive against the principle of
property and severely criticizes existing social conditions. It represents the first exposure of Babeuf's
communist ideas. Babouvism would exercise a profound influence on nineteenth and twentieth century
revolutionary ideologies.

A utopian novel of socialist tendency. It relates the travels of
a prisoner of the inquisition named Gaudence de Lucques to the country of Mezzorania, a patriarchal society
where competition and egoism are banned and equal property and a spirit of community have been realized.
It originally appeared in English in 1737 and was then attributed to George Berkeley, but in fact written by
the catholic priest Simon Berington. It underwent a French metamorphosis in 1746 by the chevalier de
Saint-Germain, completed in 1753 by J.B.Dupuy-Demportes who added much of his own taste. *Higgs

First edition. Louis Blanc was a member of the provisional government

the revolution consisted in the institution of the Ateliers nationaux. After the defeat of labour in
June he fled to England and did not return to France before 1870. In the present book Blanc claims that the
failure of the Ateliers nationaux was due to the obstruction of the bourgeois majority of the
provisional government. *Maitron I,p.237.

First edition. A philosophical-political treatise aiming at a universal
brotherhood of man. Bonneville was together with Claude Fauchet a central figure within the Cercle
social, from its founding in October 1790 until its suppression in June 1793 a centre for enlightened
philosophy and democratic agitation, which counted among its members Condorcet, Cloots, Sieyès,
Brissot, and Thomas Paine.
The present book is Bonneville's chief work, particularly noticed for its
social if not socialist criticism. It argues against the unjust division of property by stating that 'the only
possible means to achieve the great social communion is to divide the estates in equal and limited parts for
the children of the deceased, and leave the rest to divide among the other heirs' (p.59).

First edition. A history of the Babeuf's
Conspiracy of the Equals of 1796, the first attempt to establish a communist society by means of
violence. Buonarroti was born in Italy from a noble family and under the influence of Rousseau in 1789
went to France to support the Revolution. He became involved in the Babouvian plot against the
government and got imprisoned, but immediately after his release resumed his activities in secret societies in
Italy and France. The present book was written in Brussels exile, and translated into English (by the
Chartist leader Bronterre O'Brien), and into other languages. It became a handbook for many of the
nineteenth century socialist and communist revolutionaries. *Goldsmiths' 25714. Not in Kress or Einaudi.

eur 375
First edition. The first publication of Etienne Cabet, the future author
of the famous utopian novel Voyage en Icarie. Cabet was the son of a cooper and a lawyer by
profession, had for a time joined the sect of the French carbonari, but soon started to dislike its secret
character. He took part in the revolution of July 1830 and was sent to Corsica as an attorney general, but
dismissed because of his republican sympathy showed for the Polish insurgents. He was elected deputy for
the Côte-d'Or in July 1831.
In this pamphlet Cabet deplores the republican failure and
severely attacks the Camarilla ('court-clique') of Louis-Philippe. He also discusses the
revolutionary events of 1830/31 in Belgium, Italy and Poland, 'emanated from the French revolution'. He
arrives at the conclusion that it is 'a true declaration of war on the despotic governments'. *Prudhommeaux

First
edition. The second major book of Etienne Cabet, the author of the famous utopian novel Voyage en
Icarie of 1839. In the 1840's Cabet tried to convert his fellow communists, those who favoured
revolutionary violence to gain political power and those who based themselves on purely materialistic
principles like his former secretary Dézamy, to his peaceful Icarian communism. In the present
volume, reprinted twice before 1850, Cabet explains that his communist society is based upon Christian
principles. His 'true Christianism' is deistic and rational, and his God is the god of equality and justice to
the poor and oppressed. It yielded him considerable support among the workers and in January 1848 a first
group of 69 colonists left France to establish an Icarian settlement in America. *Prudhommeaux A86 (dated

utopian novel Voyage en Icarie, was a deputy for the Côte-d'Or since 1831 and a lawyer
by profession. He here acts as counsel for the defence. A (printed) note at the end warns, that though this
case has resulted in the suppression of similar associations in other departments, new associations will be
established 'everywhere', very soon in Nancy, Strassburg, Paris, and a number of other cities!

philosophy and obscure living rules, with initiation rules not surprisingly including a donation to the
communal purse, governed by the indubitable prophet Coëssin.

and practical servants of Humanity will take the general direction of worldly matters with dignity, to
construct finally the true providence, moral, intellectual, and material, irrevocable excluding from political
supremacy all kinds of slaves of God, catholics, protestants, or deists, as being both stragglers and

First edition. The major book of
Auguste Comte since the positivist philosophy exposed earlier in his Cours had developed into a
'religion of humanity'. In 1848 Comte had founded the Positivist Society with the aim to act
upon the revolutionary events. Though disappointed about that he had by his death in 1857 left a school of
followers of a universal system of knowledge and a complete philosophy of human organisation.
Apparently the publication of the volumes did not proceed smoothly. The first volume was
published by the Librairie scientifique-industrielle de L.Mathias in cooperation with
Carilian-Goeury et V.or Dalmont. The impressum of the second volume mentions the same
publishers, but also (and firstly) l'auteur, and additionally the Librairie philosophique de
Ladrange. The third and fourth volumes were published by the author and Carilian-Goeury only.
At end of the first volume a 4-page Catalogue des publications de l'Ecole positiviste,
and an extra leaf of blue paper with a long ms. quotation from Bastiat's Harmonies
économiques (published the previous year). At end of the fourth volume a 7-page
announcement (in Dutch) of Comte's journal La revue occidentale dated 1848.

First edition. A defence of the 'living world' or socialism, finally
merging in the Phalansterian system. Considerant, the most able follower of Charles Fourier,
discusses briefly the elder socialist theories of Babeuf, Saint-Simon, Robert Owen and Cabet, and more
comprehensively the theories of contemporary socialists like Buchez, Louis Blanc, Pierre Leroux and
Proudhon, and finally gives a crushing criticism of the adversaries of socialism or 'old world'. *Del Bo

both indigence and excessive wealth. Fichte's social ideas, directly connected with the ethical outlook of his
philosophy, have been of enormous influence on later German and foreign ethical socialism. *Baumgartner

First edition of the first book
of the author. It contains the essence of his principle of association, urged by universal human
passionate attraction but obstructed by civilization. According to Fourier social
harmony can only be based upon this principle, and he was convinced that material abundance would be its
indissoluble result. The application of this principle by his followers was little successful, but the impact on
social and socialist theory of Fourier's profound insight in human nature and civilization can hardly be
underestimated. *Del Bo p.5. Kress B.5351. Goldsmiths' 19750 (2 copies). Not in Einaudi. En

First edition. In his Lecture on human happiness of 1825
Gray had embraced the communitarian ideal, arguing that under competitive capitalism the real income of
the country was taken from its producers by those who bought labour at one price and sold it at another,
through rent, interest and profit. In the present volume, his most interesting work, Gray's explanation of the
impoverishment is similar, but his solution is no longer a communitarian system, but 'a centrally controlled,
technocratically run economy, more Saint-Simonian than Owenite in character'. The illustration shows 'the
present system, demand, the cause of production' and 'the social system, production the cause of demand'.

First edition. Guépin studied medecine in Paris and there
became acquainted with Saint-Simonism and an ardent republican and propagandist of cooperation. He
established in Nantes and acquired great popularity as an oculist and doctor for the poor, of whom was said
that he 'could return the sight to the blind'. Apart from a small pamphlet relating to the revolutionary
events of 1830 in Nantes the present work is his first publication. It contains the essence of his ideas,
exposed only more fully in his better known Philosophie du socialisme of 1850. Guépin
deserves an own place in the history of socialism for his practical sense and his long-life experiments with
cooperative associations. *Kress C.3504. Not in Einaudi. Maitron II,p.309-311.

First editions of all three works. A proposal to make an end of begging and mendicancy by means
of the establishment of public charitable institutions, by the Turin Jesuit Andrea Guevarre. The main work
is divided into two parts. The first part treats the necessity of an institution for the prevention of destitution
administered by public authorities and the secular principles on which it should be based. The second part
treats in the form of questions and answers the objections that can be made against the public management
of such an institution. The second and third work, usually found together with the main work, contain the
regulations for charitable institutions to be established within the duchy of Savoy. There are chapters on the
places where such institutions should be established, their internal administration, the policy regarding the
admission of the poor and disabled, the conduct of labour, the provision of dietary and clothing, etc.

Second edition, augmented with an essay of 110 pages and preferred to
the first edition of the previous year. This essay treats the miserable condition of the labouring classes in
towns, with a chapter 'by what means the remedies may be effected'. Whereas the author in his first essay
'was anxious ... to avoid even the least exaggeration in describing the distressed state of the labouring
people', the since then published report of the Health of Towns Commission has fortified him in
his opinion 'that the condition of a large part of the labouring classes indeed is evidently one which
endangers the existence amongst them of economy, decency, or morality'. *Kress C.6620.

First (only) edition. A rare atlas with ground plans and front and side
views of projected and existing cellular prisons in France, England and some other countries including fine
plates of tread-wheels and similar machines for 'labor of the hardest and most servile kind'.
A first
series of 25 leaves contains sketches for some 13 different types of buildings for cellular confinement,
mostly a groundplan on one leaf and profile views on the next. Most of these are identified only as
'provincial prisons' with 12 up to 126 cells, including some dome-shaped. Three others are identified as
projects for prisons for the cities of Caen, Madrid and Rome.
The second series of 14 leaves is
concerned with penitentiary institutions mostly in England and Scotland: groundplans of Westminster and
Millbank prison, tread-mill in Gloucester, tread-hand-wheel in Petworth, crank-mill with separators, solitary
crank-mill (constructed by Richmond & Son Engineers, Chelmsford) with an ergometer, plan for a prison
with 284 cells by John Sibly, chapel-shaped cellular prison, Edinburgh and Glasgow Bridewell, and prisons
in Geneva, Lausanne and Ghent.
Most leaves are signed by A.Blouet or Harou-Romain, some are
signed by others or are unsigned; all were lithographed by G.Schatter.
Ramon de La Sagra was a
member of the Spanish Cortes, now best remembered for his important works on the history of
Cuba. He lived in Paris for a time and made extensive travels through Europe with the purpose to
investigate the condition of charitable institutions and the prison system in these countries.

plates from the second series and a third and fourth series announced on the rear cover never appeared. A

9. Macht und Recht. Offnes Sendschreiben. Zürich,

The first work on capital and labour is Lassalle's major work in
which he sets out his economic principles. In its form it is a sharp and sometimes coarse polemic with the
leader of the German co-operative movement Schulze-Delitzsch, but its substance is one of the most
vehement attacks on classical liberal theories, here represented by Frédéric Bastiat.
The second, third, fourth and fifth piece deal with the proceedings before the Berlin Criminal Court
where Lassalle was accused of having incited to hatred. Lassalle argued that he had only brought science to
the workers: 'Socialism as a principle is the result of scientific thought. It are the working classes that
represent this scientific principle, while the idle classes resist it'.

a time follower of Saint-Simonism, founder of the official Saint-Simonian journal Le Globe. He
and several others broke with the Saint-Simonians out of repugnance against Enfantin's scabrous mysticism.
His spiritual and pacifist socialism then found an outlet in the Revue encyclopédique and
in the Encyclopédie nouvelle, in which the present text appeared for the first time.

First edition. Probably the best history of the Paris Commune, praised
not only for its wealth of information but also for its literary merits. Lissagaray had been a radical journalist
during the Second Empire and became involved in the Commune as an editor of various journals, though he
himself contended that 'he had never been a member, nor an officer, functionary or clerk of the Commune'.
After the fall of the Commune he escaped to Brussels and then moved to London, where he frequented the
home of Karl Marx, and it has even been said that there were plans for a marriage between him and Marx's
third daughter Eleanor.
This was published for the first time in France not before 1896 in a revised
edition. There were various new editions and translations into English (1886, by Eleanor Marx Aveling),
German (1877), Dutch, and other languages. *Del Bo p.69. Dolléans & Crozier p.93. Not in

First edition. A treatise on the principles of politics in the form of
lectures deceptively translated from a Greek manuscript. The author argues that rational government should
be based on natural law and the regulation of passions. He thinks that the advancement of public virtues is
the best way to contribute to the felicity of the nation. This book has been described as probably the best
work of the author and was reprinted several times and translated into several languages. It has also much
contributed to the recognition of Mably as a forerunner of socialism. *Not in Kress. Einaudi and INED list

Second revised and enlarged edition. Winkelblech studied
natural sciences and became professor of chemistry in Cassel and became a socialist after he had met a
German worker in Sweden by whom he was amply informed about the miserable fate of the working class.
Since then he spent all his time and all his (considerable) talents to write a comprehensive book about social
reform.
A first part of that book appeared in 1849 and succeeding parts followed the next 10 years.
Both its way of publication, the framework of the book derived from the natural sciences, and the absence
of the author in German socialist agitation have made the book almost entirely overlooked by
contemporaries, including Marx and Lassalle. It was not before 1870 that Schäffle praised Marlo in
his Kapitalismus und Socialismus, and since then he was treated by a.o. John Rae,
H.P.G.Quack, and by Wilhelm Roscher, who wrote about him as 'one of the most solid, moderate and
conscientious of the socialists'.
In his criticism of existing industrial capitalism Marlo did not differ
much from other socialists, but he rejected not only liberalism, responsible for what he called plutocracy,
but also communism, because he thought it would fail to motivate the individual worker. Marlo sought to
reconcile both systems in what he called panpolism. He argues for common property of the
means of production, but also for the private property for each individual worker of the full produce of his
labour. The management will not be in the hands of individual speculators, but will be organized by the
state in industrial societies (Zünfte).

Second, counterfeit (?) edition. An unprecedented and
very seminal exposition of a dogmatic and genuinely rationalist communism, advocating complete
abolishment of private property and complete state control of production and consumption. It was if not
completely ignored strongly rejected by Morelly's contemporaries, but at the end of the eighteenth century
Babeuf referred to it with great respect, and in the nineteenth century many socialist and communist writers
have acknowledged their indebtness to Morelly, including among others Fourier, Cabet, Proudhon, Louis
Blanc and Fredrick Engels.
Morelly was born about 1715 and at least for a time has lived in Vitry-
le-François, and he probably spent the greater part of his life as a tutor, but that is about all that is
known about him, and this may have contributed to the fact that his book has long been attributed to
Diderot. The first edition appeared in 1755 and a third also counterfeit edition in 1760.

First edition of a rare book of considerable Owen interest.
A great social novel that places its author among the group of English writers against plutocracy like
Charles Hall, Piercy Ravenstone, Thomas Hodgskin, William Thompson, John Francis Bray and John Gray,
usually overshadowed by the impressive figure of Robert Owen. Morgan had propagated Owenite ideas
already in his youth, and after he had made a fortune with a paper-mill he used his position to propagate his
ideas among the richer classes. He wrote several 'tracts', best known are his Remarks on the
practicability of Mr. Robert Owens plan to improve the condition of the lower classes (1819), in 1850
collected in the first volume of a series of books on social reform published by himself under the name of
Phoenix Library.
In this novel the protagonist John Hampden, the man of justice from
the seventeenth century, is placed in the nineteenth century. Hampden and his friends Fitzosborne, a kind of
English Saint-Simonian inspired by Robert Owen and Charles Hall, and Charles Bertrand, a zealous
christian philanthrophist, propagate social reform while they travel through England. They discuss the
increase of crime with Bishop Howley, leaving a Catechism of Society, and meet Malthus at
Hertford College. They argue with the economists, Mill, McCulloch, Martineau and others, reproaching
their principles of individualism and pursuit of gain, opposed to the principle of Sympathy or universal
benevolence. There is a long account of Robert Owen and his establishment at New Lanark, chapters on
education, a discussion of West-Indian slavery and the poverty in the manufacturing districts of Birmingham
and Manchester compared to the luxury of the rich, etc.
Among the plates are a 'diagram of
imaginary virtues and positive vices', a portrait of Robert Owen and a view of New Lanark. In the text are
another diagram 'illustrative of the formation of the human character' and an image of a cage 'containing
cats, mice, and rats, an owl, rabbits, a hawk, doves, and small birds, all dwelling harmoniously together,
affording a striking proof of the power of circumstances and training in subduing an original ferocity of
character'.

German edition. A treatise on mendicancy and poor relief. The author, a central figure in Italian
enlightenment and librarian of the famous Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, stresses the duty to give alms to
the poor, though with caution because there are 'ill-natured, work-shy and voluptuous' beggars. Also city
councils should care for their poor inhabitants, but they should not allow foreign beggars in their towns.
Yet Muratori thinks that it is much better to provide work for the poor than to give alms, and for that he
pleads for the establishment of working houses and similar institutions. The German translator Peter
Obladen (1717-1801) was a priest from Augsburg and a diligent translator of foreign writers of catholic
signature. Two more German editions of this appeared the next years. *Not in Kress, Goldsmiths', Einaudi

The rural domain of Méplier (Saône-et-Loire) was bought
in 1854 by the abbé François Béraud (1807-1893), priest of Blanzy, to establish a
relief for orphans and poor or morally neglected children. The property of 54 acres was for the greater part
unsuitable land and without proper accomodation and great efforts were made to cultivate the land and
develop the property into an agricultural institution. The propriety of Montferroux in Gourdon was acquired
in 1860 for the relief of orphan and criminal girls. The institutions were united in 1888 when the
Société civile des Orphelinats agricoles du Méplier et de Montferroux
was founded.
The minutes of the proceedings here present include the period from 29 November
1888 to 27 December 1927 and are all signed by the administrators, the proceedings of the first years

parts: an introductory first essay, a second essay in which the developed principles were continued 'and
applied to practice', a third essay in which the principles were 'applied to a particular situation', and a final
essay in which the principles were 'applied to government'. These four essays were originally issued

First edition. The debate between Robert Owen the socialist and the
Rev. Alexander Campbell of Bethany was held over a period of 8 days 'from 9 a.m. until noon ... and
resumed at 3 p.m. ... in the presence of about a thousand persons'. It was the outcome of Owen's challenge
to the American clergy to discuss his plans in public, which dated from his earlier visit to the U.S. After
the failure of the New Harmony experiment Owen had returned to England, but only a few months
afterwards he discussed new plans in Mexico, and on his way back to England the present debate was held.
Owen's opponent, Alexander Campbell of Bethany was the founder of the Baptist congregation
known as 'disciples' or 'Campbellites', which is said to have had some 100.000 followers in Virginia,
Kentucky and Tennessee, and also the founder and president of Bethany College. The last leaf contains

First edition. The second major book of the author in which he
analyzes the underlaying principles and the practical outlook of the various socialist systems. It was the
result of Pareto's newly found belief that human action emanated rather from emotion and passion than from
reason.
'The purpose of this book was to set out considered criticisms of liberal beliefs, and
therefore of any doctrine based solely on reason, even socialist doctrines, whilst still recognizing the
amazing catalytic effects of passions, instincts, feelings and will-power. Pareto maintained that socialism
took advantage of the desire which every man has of transcending his own state, of imagining new roles for
himself and his family, of building castles in the air and rationalizing them, of living in a better world. In
this way socialism elaborated on powerful myths and political formulae which could be used to spur the
masses into action and, through his action, bring asbout real changes in every sector of individual and
collective life. In brief, socialism mobilized new energies. But more than that, it was a powerful and useful
way of organizing the existing minorities by providing them with sufficient energy to gain political power.
Liberalism calls on reason; socialism plays on feelings. And since feeling is at the root of all human action,
socialism is politically more effective than liberalism. Nevertheless both ideologies have the same goal: to
allow minorities to organize themselves and to adopt policies which will mobilize sufficient energy to
acquire political power. Taking this analysis to its limits, Pareto discovered that a planned socialist economy
produces the same results as a market economy, and that a socialist system can be equally as effective as a
perfectly liberal system.' *New Palgrave III,p.802.

Second edition, differing from the first edition of
the same year by the indication deuxième édition only. One of Pecqueur's chief
works, in which he investigates the influences of modern technical development (steam-power) on industry,
agriculture and society.
Originally a follower of Saint-Simon and of Fourier Pecqueur developped an
independent theory of communism. His theory is essentially humanitarian and highly favourable to
economic development as a basis for social and moral amelioration. His views on the future of industrial
society 'are among the best of the first half of the nineteenth century'. Pecqueur also contributed a great
deal to the rapprochement of socialism and economic science.

A complete run of the most popular daily journal of the Paris
Commune. Edited by the poet and journalist Eugène Vermersch (1845-1878), the Blanquist agitator
and member of the First International Alphonse Humbert (1844-1922), and Maxime Vuillaume (1844-1920).
They apparently got their inspiration from the journal with the same name published by Hébert in
the first years of the Revolution. On its turn it inspired others, both from the left and from the right, to
publish journals like le Fils Duchêne and le Fils du Père
Duchêne. All issues are made up of eight pages in octavo and have varying preceding titles like
La grande colère du Père Duchêne', 'Les bons avis du Père
Duchêne', 'La grande motion du Père Duchêne', and subtitles in italics indicating
the subjects of the day. Its publication was like that of other radical journals suppressed from the fifth issue
of 10 March until 23 March 1871. *Del Bo p.41. Maillard p.156-160.

First edition thus. The Poor Law Commission was
appointed in 1832 to inquire into the unsatisfactory operation of the poor laws. The report, largely drafted
by Nassau Senior with the help of Edwin Chadwick, sketches a disenchanting picture of the effects of the
poor laws on the conditions of the labouring population. It concludes that the existing administration of the
poor laws merely advances pauperism by its depressing of wages, thus depriving labourers of every motive
for doing honest work and ruining their domestic life. The commissioners propose among other things to
limit the working of the laws to the indigent only, the institution of a central authority regulating the local
administration and the foundation of workhouses, and these recommendations indeed were largely embodied
in the new Poor Law of 1834. The present edition includes the full text of the report, but not the
appendices of evidence which took almost eight thousand pages in folio of the original Report of the
Royal Commission. *Einaudi 2750. Not in Kress. Palgrave III,p.156

First edition. One of the earliest of Proudhon's numerous books,
preceded by his work on the observance of Sunday of 1839 and his three memoirs on property of 1840/41
only. In it, Proudhon seeks to conceive a complete system of knowledge and social science, and shows
himself greatly influenced by the lecture of the works of Charles Fourier. However it has been said that the
book completely lacks sound method and is very fragmentary and, as Proudhon himself in his later years
willingly admitted, an immature work that should be regarded as a merely preparatory study for his later
books. *Nettlau p.17. Einaudi 4553. Not in Kress.

First edition? An exposition
of Proudhon's theory of international relations, in which he holds that power is the decisive force in society
and the sole basis for international law. His argument that war is a legitimate resolution for the battle
between powers has yielded him considerable animosity from other socialist writers, and indeed appears
contradictory to his theories on justice of a few years before.
Proudhon wrote this book in Belgium,
where he took refuge after his condemnation to three years imprisonment for his De la justice dans la
révolution et dans l'église. Despite the general pardon granted by Napoleon III he
decided to stay in Brussels and in the preface to the present book Proudhon apologizes for his 'daring to
present himself to the French public, and worse, for doing that with a book daté de
l'étranger (Brussels 1 March 1861). The French publisher Garnier had also experienced a
great deal of trouble with the publication of the said book and refused to publish this new book. Therefore
it was published in France by a new publisher Dentu, but we could find no evidence whether that edition
appeared before or after the present Belgian edition.

Proudhon deals with a wide range of other subjects and argues incesssantly for his principles of free
association and reciprocity, in opposition to both the 'Malthusians' and laissez-faire liberals like Adolphe
Thiers and the state-socialists like Louis Blanc. *Einaudi 4563. Goldsmiths' 36696. Nettlau p.19 (stating

First edition. The major book of Proudhon, the only early socialist
thinker of genuinely proletarian birth, which contains the most comprehensive exposition of his mutualist
doctrines. Proudhon considered the appeal to the state of most French socialists as 'the leprosy of the
French mind', and his argument 'property is theft' does not apply only to private property but as much to
collective property. Proudhon argued for the democratization, rather than the socialization of property, and
particularly this argument yielded him the violent animosity of Karl Marx. Marx' reply to Proudhon
appeared the next year with the title Misère de la philosophie.

A manuscript letter which seems to embroider on the letters to the
Bureau des Longitudes published in two parts in 1808. Saint-Simon writes that the
Institut has failed in its answers to the questions posed by the Emperor, to account for the
progress of science since 1789 and to give their opinion about the means to achieve further progress.
He argues for 'the perfection of our conception of the system of the world ... because this is the
fundamental basis for the scientific system, the most general and most exact conception that we possibly
could have'. For this, he suggests two means, firstly to carry into execution certain 'programs' he made,
including 'giving a mathematical caracter to the fysical law of universal gravity', and secondly to construct
a gigantic monument for Descartes, the founder of the system of the world.

of a new Christianity. It is an attempt to create a moral complement to the idea of industrial
society and, together with his exposure of industrial society in the Catéchisme des
industriels, his most important work. Saint-Simon seeked to establish the Christian principle of love
on a positive basis, with the object to 'ameliorate the moral and physical condition of the masses'. It thus
can be said to be a breviary for social brotherhood.

August 1829 and successively treats all aspects of Saint-Simonian philosophy: the general laws relating to
the development of humanity and the universal association of mankind, the historical exploitation of man by
man and the right of property, moral and professional education, legislation and religion, etc. The lectures
were held by S.A.Bazard, but are virtually a collective work of all leading members of the Saint-Simonian
school: Enfantin, Carnot, Duveyrier, and many others. A second volume was published the next year, but
that volume shows much more the mystical and sometimes scabrous influence of Enfantin, and does not add
a great deal to the seminal social and political theories of the Saint-Simonians.

An account of the Institution for the Poor in
Hamburg from its establishment in 1788 until 1806. It was written on request of the Austrian emperor and
edited by a secretary after the yearly reports of the institution. Voght was a wealthy merchant from
Hamburg, highly interested in social, agricultural and prison reform. He had travelled to England, where he
had met a.o. John Howard, and France, and founded an 'ornamented farm' in Flotbeck. In 1788 he
founded, together with Johann Georg Büsch and the Patriotischen Gesellschaft the
Hamburger Allgemeinen Armenanstalt. A similar project in Vienna gained him his noble title.
The introduction (p.1-16) of this volume is an extract of the Letter to some friends of the poor in
Great Britain, published in English during the author's stay in Scotland in 1794 and reissued several
times. It contains the principles on which the establishment was based.

First edition. The most seminal of the writings of Wilhelm Weitling, with Moses Hess
among the earliest communist agitators in Germany and its first leader of proletarian birth. It has been
marked as the 'catechism' for German socialist workers before Marx, and was praised by the latter as the
'incomparable and brilliant début of the German working man'.
Weitling preached a
christian utopian socialism, in his own testimony deducted from the New Testament, and mainly fashioned
after the ideas of Fourier and Cabet. In his view private property was permitted as long as there was an
abundance of unoccupied land, but since that was no longer the case individual property became an injustice
and the cause of the misery of the people. Individual property therefore should be replaced by collective
ownership and, though he hoped for a peaceful transition, revolutionary violence may be inevitable to
introduce this new order.
Weitling was an illegitimate son of a French father and a German servant-
girl. He learned for tailor in his birth-place Magdeburg and then began to travel through Germany and in
the 1830's settled in Paris. There he became acquainted with French socialist agitation and a.o. member of
the club of revolutionary Germans Bund der Gerechten (League of Equitables). He
moved to Switzerland in 1841 and was soon imprisoned and expelled, and spent the rest of his untiring life
in Germany, England and America, where he continued his communist agitation among German immigrants
in New York and founded the failed colony Communia in Wisconsin.
Weitling exposed
his ideas principally in three works: his first printed work Die Menscheit, wie sie ist und sein
soll, a small pamphlet published in Paris in 1838, the present book, and Das Evangelium eines
armen Sünders in 1845. The present books seems to be the most complete exposition of his
socialist thoughts and plans. It was issued privately in Vevey (near Lausannne, Vivid in German) and the
local printer (unveiled on the verso of the half title as L. Alex. Michod) was paid with money that was
collected by German comrades in France and Switzerland. There was a second edition published in Vivis in
1845, and a third in Hamburg in 1849.
