Author: [TOURREIL, Louis-Jean-Baptiste de].
Title: Doctrine fusionienne : lettres apostoliques.
Description: Paris, Chez Madame Tourreil 1860. [Various printers 1845 to c1861]. Octavo half morocco (rubbed, cloth marked). A compilation of separately printed items that range between four and 78 pages. Each letter numbered by hand so as to correlate with the table of contents and solve the problem of making sense of it all. Without letters 16 and 17 - see below. Signs of use but nothing serious: corners bumped, scattered browning; pretty good. Neat inscription of Jules Remy who may or may not be the naturalist traveller. The errata have been transcribed into the text in an equally neat hand. ¶ From what I can figure out from skimming a few digested paragraphs, Tourreil's fusionism is a casserole of Fourier, Leroux, Saint-Simon, revelation and insect hives. A rich dish for academics in gender studies. He did have some disciples and they did more to propagate his utopian notions after his death than he managed. This contains the collected title page and preface leaf for his Lettres 1 to 22 dating from 1845 on (but for 16 and 17), a table of contents, a 30 page analytic table, and an errata leaf for those 22 letters. Then come four more items: 1. Lettre ... a notre frere D....., de Bordeaux ... February 1861; 30pp; 2. Oraison Pleniere [... &c], undated; 28pp and a plate; 3. Credo de la religion fusionienne L'Amour Divin-Esprit de Verite; undated 12mo, 12pp, title partly in manuscript; 4. Loi des Lois; undated folding broadside with an engraving. I found a description of a copy that apparently belonged to Gustave Mouravit which had all 22 letters and the four extra items, described by Mouravit as everything Tourreil published, without doubt unique. Claims by owners like this should be treated as dubious. The BN doesn't come up anything like all the letters but they do have something titled 'Religion fusionienne' apparently written with Leon Galibert and printed in 1845. Our copy has 32 blank leaves where letters 16 and 17 should be. It seems clear that when the first owner bought his letters Madame Tourreil had run out of copies of those two but she did have what had been printed since. This often happens with compilations of separate items put together by the author.
