First edition.
Founding work of Fourierism.
It is in this book that Charles Fourier sets out for the first time his theories on the organization of human societies. Discoveries, which, according to him, is on a par with Newton's theory of gravitation. Fourier defines four phases of universal history (ascending chaos, ascending plenitude, descending plenitude, descending chaos), each phase subdivided into a multitude of times. Humanity is currently going through the fifth time of the first phase: Civilization. The revelation to humanity of "passionate attraction" will bring about Harmony, a phase of bliss in which Fourier's Utopia is realized.
When it was published, no one understood anything about this work, riddled with neologisms, divisions and subdivisions, extravagant considerations... the press passed over the book in silence and Fourier, annoyed that he was not recognized as a Genius, would not publish again for fourteen years.

Rare untouched copy.

First edition.
Zoé Charlotte de Gamond (1806-1854), Belgian feminist, disciple of Charles Fourier whose work she became a commentator. In September 1841, she bought a monastery in Burgundy, the famous abbey of Cîteaux, in order to establish a phalanstery there, the theoretical aspect of which she had imagined in this work. In particular, she gave a feminist tint to the theories of Charles Fourier. Fourier's "Harmony" was supposed to regenerate the condition of Women. This phalanstery, which operated until 1846, was a financial disaster. The De Gamond couple, thus ruined, returned to Brussels where they led a life of embarrassment and deprivation.

The project of the Agricultural Union of Africa was born from the meeting of French colonial interests in Algeria and the Fourierist desire to found a community following the phalansterian principles. These interests came together in Lyon where there was an active Fourierist group with the meeting of Captain Gautier, an officer of the Army of Africa, with Miss Aimée Beuque, a convinced Fourierist.
The project of a civil joint stock company running a colony in Algeria took shape during the year 1845 and the Agricultural Union of Africa was founded in December 1845. Its goal was to experiment with the Fourierist principle of associating capital, labor and talent.
It has thirty-three members including the members of the organizing committee: Fleury Imbert, François Barrier, Felix Beuque and Sister (Aimée), Captain Gautier...
On November 8, 1846, a royal ordinance authorized the Lyon Committee to found a Civil Colonization Society on the condition that it welcome three hundred European families, at least two-thirds of whom must be of French origin. Louis Philippe allocates three thousand hectares to the Union at the foot of the hills of the Sig Valley, eighteen kilometers from the sea, on the road from Oran to Mascara.
The first settlers will settle in Algeria during the year 1847. Gradually losing the Fourierist essence of the beginning, the Sig colony will nevertheless last until the end of the 19th century.

Inthis volume, are bound a series of documents from the organizing committee of the Agricultural Union of Africa:

- Draft Statutes of a Civil Society, For the Exploitation of a Rural Property in Algeria, Lyon, Dumoulin, 1845. 23 pages.
First edition.
One of the first documents relating to the Union. It presents the draft statutes of the company before its foundation, which would not take place until the end of 1845. The document also presents the members of the organizing committee and the list of the first subscribers.

- The Agricultural Union of... Civil joint-stock company for the exploitation of a rural property in Africa, Lyon, Boitel, [1845]. 16 pages.
First edition.
Work of the organizing committee from its formation until October 25, 1845. The end of the document gives the model of the power of attorney to be sent to subscribers for the founding of the company.

- Letter of application for membership, November 1845. 3 pages
Document in civil character probably sent to the subscribers who, on the eve of the filing of the application for a concession, seek to extend the number of concessionaires from ten to twelve people.
"ten to twelve people capable by their wealth and their position of lending us effective support."

- Plan with caption, (nd). (2) folding plates.
Probably the plan of the colony as it was planned in the early days of the project. It shows an enclosure of 400x300 meters grouping together residential and manufacturing buildings.

- Contract of enrollment of associated workers, Lyon, December 15, 1846. 2 pages.
Exceptional document presenting the contract that linked the Union with the associated workers.
Our copy is completed and countersigned by Félix Beuque (member of the board of directors) and Jacob Held, a 36-year-old ploughman and shoemaker from Geneva. Jacob Held commits for one year and becomes a shareholder with 50 francs.

- Pay scale for associated workers and Supplies scale, (nd). (2) pages.
Fascinating document for understanding the internal economy of the Union. Each worker is both an employee and an associate, the salary scale is defined for all hierarchical levels.
It should be noted that while women can claim a maximum of 70% of a man's salary, they can nevertheless access the position of special director of the 1st class (highest position after the General Director). We also see that a salary of 25 francs per year is provided for children from 0 to 5 years old...
On the back, we find the rate for accommodation and full board (with different meal and accommodation options).
Thus, a Worker's Assistant (14th class) will receive 504 francs per year and will spend at least 360 francs on food and 20 francs on accommodation.

First edition.
Work whose collection title is "Saint-Simonian Religion", a curious quasi-sectarian economic movement led by Prosper Enfantin, under the honorary title of Supreme Father. This ideological movement, originally based on the socio-economic and political doctrine of Claude-Henri de Rouvroy de Saint-Simon, promotes confidence in technical progress, the certainty that it is in a moral industry that the condition of happiness, freedom and emancipation resides. Under the influence of Prosper Enfantin, the movement becomes a religion, with some attempts at communities.

Second edition, completely revised by the author.
French politician, François Cantagrel is a disciple of Charles Fourier for whom he founded the newspaper La Phalange.
He was an active propagandist of Fourierism thanks, among other things, to his Fou du Palais Royal, published in 1841 and which the Fourierists had to republish in 1845, which had a huge impact. This humorous work certainly steered more men towards Fourierism than Fourier's own works.

First french edition.

William Godwin (1756-1836) is a British philosopher, precursor of anarchism and inspiration for the utilitarian movement.
This book is part of the controversy between Godwin and Malthus about the principle of population. For Malthus, the mathematical growth of the human population occurs at a rate greater than that of access to resources.
For Godwin, the "improvement of Man" (in fact technical progress) will make it possible to compensate for population growth, he says:
"if the earth, in all its habitable parts, could be made as fertile as China, it would be enough to feed a population of nine thousand million people" (volume II, p.212).

A debate that is still current.
