200 Broadway? nay, that it would be better to say, let
us be lovers and servants of that which is just; and straightway
every man becomes a centre of a holy and beneficent republic, which
he sees to include all men in its law, like that of Plato, and of
Christ. Before such a man the whole world becomes Fourierized or
Christized or humanized, and in the obedience to his most private
being, he finds himself, according to his presentiment, though
against all sensuous probability, acting in strict concert with all
others who followed their private light.
Yet in a day of small, sour, and fierce schemes, one is
admonished and cheered by a project of such friendly aims, and of
such bold and generous proportion; there is an intellectual courage
and strength in it, which is superior and commanding: it certifies
the presence of so much truth in the theory, and in so far is
destined to be fact.
But now, whilst we write these sentences, comes to us a paper
from Mr. Brisbane himself. We are glad of the opportunity of letting
him speak for himself. He has much more to say than we have hinted,
and here has treated a general topic.
