(UTOPIAN COMMUNITIES.) The Circular, Devoted to the Sovereignty of Jesus Christ. 52 weekly issues of the "New Series" (Volume I, complete), each 4 pages, 17½ x 12 inches, in one volume. 208 pages. Folio, stitched; intermittent moderate dampstaining, minimal wear; uncut. Brooklyn, NY, 6 November 1851 to 31 October 1852 The Oneida Community was founded by John Humphrey Noyes (1811-1886) in upstate Oneida, NY in 1848. They practiced complex marriage, and are credited with coining the phrase "free love." They later instituted a eugenic breeding program, had communal child care, and endured grueling sessions of mutual criticism. In these pages, "Noyes expounded his doctrines of spiritualism, communism, and free love; though uneven in its editing, it was often well written and interesting"--Mott, page II:207. The issues include community gossip and international news in addition to the many essays reflecting Oneida doctrine. Lomazow 568.
