Close to 500 colonists settled there. These included writers, musicians, artists, artisans, and free spirits, but only two farmers. As might be expected, a couple of years of utopian bickering and successive Texas droughts brought the experiment to a speedy collapse." Clark, <I>Old South</B></I> III: 292. Howes c697. Raines, page 53. Considerant's book excited great interest in socialist circles in Europe, and his "Manifest de la Democratie Pacifique" is considered by some to be a forerunner of Karl Marx's <I>Communist Manifesto</B></I>. The large map of Texas, based on Colton, is outlined in pale pink.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Books & Catalogs (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
