Author: LEROUX, Pierre. Title: De l'Humanite de son Principe, et de son Avenir ...
Description: Paris, Perrotin 1840. Two volumes octavo, uncut in modern boards, original wrappers preserved. Adhesion spots on the inner margins of the wrappers, suggesting it has been in a couple of binding; general foxing but not too strident. ¶ First edition. Leroux eagerly dove into the Saint-Simon pool with Enfantin and Bazard, writing what became the manifesto of the group. He climbed out again quite soon, disillusioned with bourgeois individualism; no two zealous reformers can stay in the same water for long. Sometimes those groups ruptured and splintered so explosively it's hard to see how each came out with their own body parts. In a way he was the first socialist: he claimed the word socialisme was his.
