First edition.
Rare offprint of an article published in the journal Champagne catholique.
This journal was created at the end of the July Monarchy to defend moral and religious interests against the anticlerical political groups that were beginning to organize. Here the article targets Fourier's system, of which Victor Considérant was then the best-known promoter.
"His ideas of association are destined, without doubt, to play an important role in the future developments of civilization; we must deplore that Fourier has cast disfavor on them, by associating them with the deepest immorality." (p.35).

Le Sept Avril à Besançon.

First edition.
The political banquet was born during the French Revolution. In 1789, in all cities of France, the open-air banquet, in the streets, was a new form of sociability to affirm patriotic enthusiasm and the unity of the Nation. During these civic meals, new liberties were celebrated.

Under the reign of Louis-Philippe, the political banquet was reborn as a means of circumventing the ban on political gatherings imposed by the reactionary government of Minister Guizot.

Fourierists, after the death of Charles Fourier in 1837, adopted this practice and met each year to celebrate his birthday (April 7, 1772) with a banquet. In Paris, in the provinces, and abroad, numerous banquets were thus organized, during which speakers took turns extolling the social theories of their master and proposing many toasts.

In 1847 and 1848, this subversive function of the banquet spread to all political factions and gained momentum. In February 1848, the prefect of police in Paris banned a banquet. Following this ban, a protest demonstration turned into an insurrection within a few days, bringing an end to the July Monarchy.

This account of the Besançon banquet in 1847 includes toasts by Just Muiron: "To the genius of Fourier!", Ledoux: "To the organization of labor!", Renaud: "To the confusion of false wisdom!", Vuillemin: "To all the benefactors of humanity!".

The work of a philosopher who was won over to the ideas of the Lumières, Blanchet is resolutely modern: the 18th century is marked by the reign of science and the arts, and the passions of modern man are the subject of vibrant praise, including self-esteem, because it is they which allow the realization of the great projects of humanity, which a Diderot would not deny.

Gabriel Désiré Laverdant (1810-1884), was director of the Phalange in 1840, he was one of those Fourierists who sought the rapprochement of the Fourierist movement with the Catholics, he called himself a "phalansterian Catholic".

François Barrier, central personality of the Fourierist movement, he adhered to the Fourierist doctrine in 1843. He was, in 1845, one of the founders of the Phalansterian project of the Agricultural Union of Africa and became the main animator and financial supporter of the Societary School of Lyon in the 1850s. He created a "Fourierist" bank which would notably finance the Texas Phalanstery. In 1864, he left Lyon and his career as a surgeon to join Paris to reorganize the Societary School and devote himself to writing Fourierist treatises.

Edition published the same year as the original edition.
Bengesco [II, pp.415-417] comments at length on the difference between this edition and that of Geneva at Robert. The text in Rey's edition goes as far as the hardback edition of the Robert edition except for the last sentence. S

ome hypotheses suggest that it was Diderot who had this Amsterdam edition published, whereas Madame de Caylus's manuscript had been passed from hand to hand for several years. However, a few rare copies have a 22-page notebook with a preface by Voltaire which is absent from our copy [cf. Bengesco].
