The history of the New England social experiment of the forties is here told in human and intimate terms.

An offspring of the Transcendental Movement, Brook Farm was started in an attempt to live out the principles of humanitarianism and Christianity which its founders professed even when they departed--as many of them did--from the folds of orthodox Calvinism and Unitarianism. 8vo.
