About this Item
16pp. Original publisher's printed buff wrappers. Worn, with stitching perished (the text block is therefore loose in the wrappers), extremities rubbed and marked, several short tears. Occasional light marginal dampstaining. A rare chap-book edition, printed by the notorious radical printer James Watson, of Scottish-born social reformer and emancipationist Robert Dale Owen's (1801-1877) tale warning of the dangers of overinterpreting scripture and withdrawing from worldly responsibilities. The author was the son of philanthropist and social reformer Robert Owen (1771-1858), and spent most of his life in the United States, where he actively promoted the educational and scientific achievements of New Harmony, Indiana, long after the utopian community founded there by his father had failed. This included serving in both the Indiana legislature and the U.S. House of Representatives. Size: 8vo. Seller Inventory # AQ31325
