LEROUX, Jules. - Le proletaire et le bourgeois. Dialogue sur la question des salaires ...

Paris, Perrotin &c 1840. Octavo modern quarter morocco and mottled boards; 32pp. Trimmed a bit close at the top, an excellent fresh copy. ¶ While older brother Pierre was the philosophical centre of socialism, he claimed the word as his, it seems universally accepted that Jules was the economic brain in the mix. Like so many of his troublesome contemporaries he ended up in exile, first in Jersey then in Kansas where he established the settlement New Humanity. He didn't stay long and from Neuchatel - still in Kansas - he published the newspaper L'Etoile du Kansas, to me one of the more beguiling titles I've come across. Sounds like it belongs in a Weill/Brecht opera. In 1880 it was on to California and a new community, Icaria-Speranza, where he died in 1883.
