Fourteen pieces by two prominent members of Fourierist circles: François Barrier and Jean Journet.
The set was probably assembled by François Barrier. Two presentation copie. one from Barrier to his mother and one from Jean Journet to Barrier.
François Barrier (1813-1870), a doctor in Lyon, converted to Fourierism in the early 1840s. He played a very important role in the founding of a societarian colony in Saint-Denis du Sig, Algeria. He was part of the organizing committee that set the project in motion and was one of the administrators of the society of the Agricultural Union of Africa. He was the main driving force and financial supporter of the Ecole sociétaire de Lyon in the 1850s. He created a "Fourierist" bank that notably financed the Texas phalanstery. In 1864, he left Lyon and his career as a surgeon to go to Paris and reorganize the Ecole sociétaire, run the societarian bookstore and devote himself to writing Fourierist treatises.

- [BARRIER], Examen et Réfutation du Discours de M. Massot, Lyon, Dorier, 1846 62 pages. First edition. Work in which Barrier defends the societary doctrine.

- Commemorative banquet of the birth of Ch. Fourier, Given in Lyon on April 7, 1846 (2 bl.) - 16 pages. First edition. The Fourierists, after the death of Charles Fourier in 1837, adopted the practice of Republican Banquets and met each year to celebrate the anniversary of his birth (April 7, 1772) with a banquet. In Paris, in the provinces, abroad, many banquets were thus organized, during which the speakers took turns to praise the social theories of the master and to make many toasts. Here a handwritten note (p.9) attributes one of the "toasts" to François Barrier. - BARRIER, De L'Hygiène dans ses rapports avec l'état social, (March 15, 1845) 15 pages. Article taken from the Revue sociale, a socialist review from Lyon.

Work in which François Barrier presents the phalansterian project of the Agricultural Union of Africa. In 1846, if the civil society leading the Union had been created, it had not yet obtained a concession from Louis Philippe. The Fourierists' project came at a time when the French State, after having conquered Algeria, was asking itself the question of a settlement colonization to make its military expenditure profitable.

Works of Jean Journet:

Jean Journet (1799-1861) defined himself as a Fourierist apostle. He traveled through France, Belgium, and also Texas to spread the good word of Charles Fourier. A friend of the painter Gustave Courbet, he was immortalized in a painting entitled "The Apostle Jean Journet leaving for the conquest of universal harmony" in 1850. An eccentric character, he aroused the anger of the Fourierists who, like Victor Considérant, wanted to normalize the movement. He had books and brochures printed at his own expense, from 1840 until his death in 1861, imbued with mysticism, apostolic lyricism, and extravagance. Lacking sales in bookstores, Journet became a street vendor of his works. There, he begged for his bread and took on the shaggy appearance of an enlightened preacher.

- JOURNET, Cri d'indignation, complainte humanitaire, Paris, Charpentier, September 1846. 16 pages. First edition. Long poem whose incipit is addressed to the "lazy", the "gangrenous disciples" who indulge in a "voluptuous drowsiness" while waiting for Harmony.

- JOURNET, Cri de Délivrance. Intronisation du règne harmonien sur le globe, Paris, Charpentier, November 1846. 16-(2) pages. Sent by the author to François Barrier. First edition. Journet opens a subscription for the creation of a Phalanstère d'enfants, one of his major projects. At the top of the list of subscribers is Alexandre Dumas, to whom Journet dedicates a poem.

- JOURNET, Résurrection sociale. Félicité universelle, cri de Détresse, Paris, Chez The author, June 1849. 16 pages. First edition. Text that encourages Fourier's disciples to get moving and practically realize a phalanstery. Note that the price of the brochure, indicated on the title, is 5fr. for the rich, 1fr. for the well-off and 15 centimes in shops.

- [JOURNET], To the founders of Universal Harmony, the grateful human race, [1850] 16 pages. Second edition. Subscribers and statutes of the Society of Active Fraternity, an "experimental association" that provides for the installation of a "swarm of devoted men, the seed of a future harmonious phalanx", placed "one to five leagues from the capital", with initially 18 to 25 households. But Journet's project does not seem to have gone any further.

- JOURNET, Socialism Unmasked: Cry of Pity, The False Prophets, Paris, Chez tous les marchands, June 1850. 16 pages. Original edition. Long poem in the form of a diatribe against Proudhon. It opens with this stanza: "Proudhon, Proudhon, It is a song That will make sense Of your jargon."

- JOURNET, Socialism Unmasked: Cry of Alarm, The Promised Land, Paris, Chez tous les marchands, July 1850. 16 pages. Original edition. Poem whose target is undoubtedly Emile de Girardin, who supported the party of Louis Napoléon Bonaparte under the Second Republic.

Colonie Sociétaire de Condé-Sur-Vesgre. 

Paris, Au Bureau de la réforme industrielle, 1832.
More Details >
850 €

First edition.
Rare document on the creation of the colony of Condé-sur-Vesgre.

The societary colony of Condé-sur-Vesgre was the first Fourierist achievement and the only one in which Fourier participated. The initiative was launched in the second half of 1832 by Alexandre Baudet-Dulary with the support of the Fourierist newspaper "Le Phalanstère" which would relay the calls for funds.

Our publication presents the project for the creation of the society that would manage the colony. It presents the statutes of the future society and an approximate estimate of the expenses. The designated managers are Devay, Just Muiron, Victor Considérant, and A. Transon. The role assigned to Charles Fourier is "director of the societary mechanism".

This society will be created during the year 1833 with the installation of the first settlers on the site of Condé-sur-Vesgre. The colony, after many difficulties, is still in activity almost two hundred years later.
