‎Very scarce edition of Owen’s seminal four-part work, which constitutes “The Birth of Socialism”, parts I & II being the first printings, and II & IV presumably the second editions (after the privately printed 1814-edition of both parts, which were for private circulation), later used for the 1816 overall second edition of all four parts together (which is continuously paginated, 184 pp. in all). The copy corresponds to Kress B6194, where it is listed first, and Goldsmiths' 20855. Goldsmiths' notes “The first and second essays have separate title-pages and pagination. The third and fourth essays each have a half-title, but their pagination is continuous. There are a number of textual alterations in this edition of the third and fourth essays, most of which were adopted for the 1816 edition.” Parts I & II have separate title-pages and are separately paginated. The title-page of part I does not mention Owen, but the dedication to Wilberforce is signed Robert Owen in print on p. IV. The title-page of part II reads: A new View of Society, or, Essays on the Principle of the Formation of the Human Character, and the Application of the Principle to Practice. Essay Second. By Robert Owen of New Lanark. Parts III & IV each have a half-title, both included in the pagination, which is continuous. The half-title of Part III reads: Essay Third. The Principles of the Former Essays Applied to a Particular Situation, and states on verso: Printed by Richard and Arthur Taylor. The half-title of Part IV reads: Essay Fourth. The Principles of the Former Essays Applied to Government. ""The theory of socialism has a long and distinguished history [...] the first practical statement of socialist doctrine came not from a theorist but from one who based it on practical experiment. Robert Owen became the manager of a cotton mill at the age of nineteen. He was brilliantly successful, not merely as a manager, but as an innovator, introducing the first imported cotton from America and improving the quality of the yarn. Before he was thirty he already had the experience, and the confidence born of it, to undertake his great experiment."" (PMM). Having bought a factory with some of the poorest and workers’ quarters in the country and worst working conditions, Owen began improving conditions in all ways possible, including housing, working hours, education for the children (he founded infant schools in Great Britain), limitation of drinking, and he opened a store, where they could buy goods close to cost price. ""'The Lanard Experiment' was a great success, and the mill ran a profit"" nevertheless, Owen’s partners were dissatisfied at the cost of his social schemes and he was forced to dissolve the partnership and form a new company, in which Jeremy Bentham and William Allen, the Quaker philanthropist, were partners. It was at this juncture that A New View of Society came out. In it Owen laid down the principles which had determined his experiment. Having no belief in any kind of religion, he had thought out a new system of beliefs for himself. The chief points were that man's character is made not by but for him and that it has been formed by circumstances over which he has no control. The prime necessity in the right formation of character is therefore to place him under proper physical, moral and social influences from the very beginning. These principles - the fundamental irresponsibility of man and the effect of good early influence - lie at the root of Owen's theories and his practice. New Lanark continued to show their efficacy, and it became a model community, much visited by the statesmen of Europe… [T]he vitality of the word “socialism”, first coined by Owen about 1835, is testimony to the enduring value of his work"" (PMM).

‎Correspondance d’édition.‎

‎ 26 lettres et cartes postales manuscrites signées adressées à Michel Bulteau, écrites à l’encre violette entre octobre 1994 et avril 1998 sur papiers de couleurs : projets de traductions et publications en France, évocations littéraires, artistiques, pécuniaires, mélancoliques… Quelques extraits, 16-X-94 : « Dear Michel, I think you and I have very similar tastes in music, literature, art, decadence – and life itself. I shall send you some of my books. Is there anyone in French publishing who would be interested in my book about Lou Reed ‘Waiting for the Man’ – which Picador will publish here in November ? » 20-XI-94 : « I want to thank you so very much for the Baron Corvo books, your essay and the marvelously explicit Venetian letters. I feel we are already good friends, and I’m looking forward to the time when we can meet. (…) I don’t know if you could encourage Du Rocher to look at my very individual book about Rimbaud, and perhaps at my homocratic novel ‘Isidore’ which is about another of my heroes : Lautréamont, our legendary Ducasse. And by the way I love Corvo’s exotic style and eccentricities. We share very similar tastes in our pantheon of the stars. I find it so hard to exist from writing. I’m hugely prolific, and I make almost no money. It’s terrible. But we do it for love of the imagination and to proclaim the great, the bizarre, the beautiful. Thank you for being. With love and starlight, Jeremy. » 28-XII-94 : « Here is the gift of my Lou Reed book for you, how I wish we could find a French publisher for it, and that you could be the translator. End of the year blues. I always find Christmas/new year particularly melancholy, so much work done, sadness accumulated – but still there’s a brilliance attached to the moment, and I’m always working on new books, pushing the imagination beyond frontiers. I send you gold stars ». S. d. : « I would be so grateful if you would try Du Rocher with ‘Isidore’. It is an extraordinary beautiful and unusual novel, and I don’t think there are any other novels on Lautréamont. Life would have been so much easier for me if I had been born French, all my heroes are the anarchic French poets. The wild imagination, vibrant with images. » 1-II-95 : « I hope all is well with you. There are little tints of spring in the air, and I have pink hyacinths in my room. Their languid scent Is intoxicating. My book about Lou Reed is handled by agents. If they prove problematic, I would sell the book personally to a French publisher, so that you could translate it. I’m desperate for some money at present. Surely some French publisher would wish a book on Lou Reed. I’m currently writing a book about Marc Almond, called ‘The Last Star’. He’s my favorite torch singer. » 23-I-96 : « I’m working on a novel about Elvis Presley, ‘Heartbreak Hotel’, and I’ve also been performing and recording with David J, who used to be in ‘Bauhaus’. I will send you some tapes. Is there any new of ‘Isidore’ ? Peter Owen’s very disappointed not to have heard. Please do let him know. We should do a reading in Paris, you and I, at a venue where we could use our respective musicians. Let’s think about it. Much love and starlight, Jeremy. » 28-I-96 : « How I know that topology of hallucinated madness – it fuels both our works – but the suffering is huge. Buddhist chanting helps me through the intimate hells. I went through a terrible breakdown in 1990. As your work is close to Michaux’s, I imagine you suffer deeply. » 3-III-96 : « Wonderful to receive your letter, and I haven’t forgotten ‘Flowers’ (de Michel Bulteau, un livre consacré à Warhol). I’m going to work at finding a publisher for you here. An independent. We may be able to interest Peter Owen in your work. He likes you a lot, and is coming back to Paris in May. » 15-VI-97 : « I’m busy working on new poems, essays, fiction, etc. The usual galaxy of creative energies. And I’m sure you’re writing too, working the imagination towards apocalypse. » ‘Invention d’Isidore Ducasse’ est finalement paru aux Éditions de la Différence en 1996. On joint 9 lettres tapuscrites signées de l’éditeur anglais Peter Owen sur papiers à entête, contemporaines à ces projets de publications. 5-IV-95 : « Jeremy Reed has advised me of your interest in ‘Isidore’ and that your publishers La Difference want to buy it. I am awfully pleased that you wish to take on this exceptional author. » Puis, 12-IX-96 : « Sorry we missed – I got your message that you could be late but I wonder if you went to the La Nouvelle Agence office ? Anyhow, I am sorry I missed you. La Difference have not paid the advance. Jeremy is upset. Mary and I are very annoyed. They are, of course, illegal if they try to publish without the advance. Could you explain this to them and of course, if they do not pay none of us will ever want to deal with them again. The whole thing is very bad publishing practice and it has gone on so long ! Thank you for your help. Sincerely, Peter Owen. » Bon état. ‎

‎Later edition of Owen’s highly influential work on Psalm 130 also known as the ""De Profundis"" or ""Out of the Depths"". This work reflects Owen's commitment to both the rigorous study of Scripture and the practical application of biblical truths to the lives of believers. John Owen (1616-1683) was a prominent English theologian and minister in the Puritan tradition during the 17th century. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest theological minds in the Reformed tradition. Owen was born in Stadhampton, Oxfordshire, England, and he attended Queen's College, Oxford, where he studied classics and theology. Owen's theological writings covered a wide range of topics, including theology proper, soteriology, ecclesiology, and pneumatology. He was a staunch defender of Calvinism and Reformed theology, and he engaged in theological debates with various religious factions of his time, including Arminians and Socinians, two different branches of Pietism.‎
