THE FIRST EXTENSIVE PUBLICATION OF THIS IMPORTANT AMERICAN UTOPIAN COMMUNITY. 'A statement of the principles upon which the Society was founded and of its aspirations ... printed on their own press ... [and] probably edited by Father Rapp himself' (quoted in Sabin). The Society had earlier published just one other work, a small leaflet of songs. Sabin 95698.
