This
simple narrative, stamped with deep sincerity, and often displaying
an unstudied, pathetic eloquence, may lead to reflections, which mere
argument and sentimental appeals do not call forth. It will serve to
hasten the day of reckoning between society and the sailor, which,
though late, will not fail to come.
_Social Destiny of Man: or Association and Reorganization of
Industry._
By ALBERT BRISBANE. Philadelphia. 12mo. pp. 480.
This work is designed to give a condensed view of the system of
M. Fourier, for the improvement and elevation of productive industry.
It will be read with deep interest by a large class of our
population. The name of Fourier may be placed at the head of modern
thinkers, whose attention has been given to the practical evils of
society and the means of their removal. His general principles
should be cautiously separated from the details which accompany their
exposition, many of which are so exclusively adapted to the French
character, as to prejudice their reception with persons of opposite
habits and associations. The great question, which he brings up for
discussion, concerns the union of labor and capital in the same
individuals, by a system of combined and organized industry.
