LEROUX (Pierre Henri). To the States of Jersey on a means of quintupling, not to say more, the agricultural production of the country. Second printing. London, Universal Library; Jersey, L. Nétré, 1853. In-12, stiff vellum, modern title page (contemporary binding). One of Pierre Leroux's rarest titles. After the coup d'état of 1851, and the end of the utopian community of Boussac where Leroux gathered his disciples, the socialist theorist took refuge in Jersey, like Hugo, whose neighbor he was. Here, he attempts to give Jerseyans lessons in socialism and agricultural development.
