Author: BRIANCOURT, Math. [Mathieu].
Title: L'Organisation du Travail et l'Association.
Description: Paris, Librairie Phalansterienne 1848. 13x9cm contemporary roan backed mottled boards (rubbed); 8pp catalogue of the Librairie Societaire at the end. ¶ I'm pretty sure these are the sheets, with a new title page, of the second printing published by the Librairie Societaire in 1846; the first edition appeared in 1845. They might have used standing type or stereos but I doubt it. There were fairly speedy German and American translations. This is dangerous rabble-rousing socialist stuff in the wake of Fourier. There is a photo of an old Briancourt online but it could be any flint-hearted stubborn old Frenchman. He was a dedicated and dogged Fourieriste until the end.
