It appears from Mr. Alcott's Ms. diary that in October, 1840, while the whole matter was taking form, he met George Ripley and Miss Fuller at Mr. Emerson's in Concord, for the purpose of discussing the new theme. Neither Alcott nor Emerson accepted the project in its completeness. Alcott's Ms Diary, XIV. 170. During the follhe prevailing tendency as to offer to share his house with Mr. Alcott and his family, while suggesting that other like-minded. persons should settle near them in Concord. Mr. Alcott himself speaks of Brook Farm as our community; but perhaps uses the words in a very general sense. At any rate, Brook Farm established itself withhat would have insured several weeks of stillness and solitude for her; she being tired to death of dissipation. This failing, she expresses willingness to go to Concord, but, should that be inconvenient, she can go to Brook Farm, as the next best medicine:-- They will give me a room at Brook Farm, if I wish, let me do as I p

I feel more hopeful as he builds less wide, but cannot feel that I have anything to do at present, except to look on and see the coral insects at work. Ballou was with him to-night; he seems a downright person, clear as to his own purposes, and not unwilling to permit others the pursuit of theirs. Ms. The Rev. Adin Ballou was a well-known leader among the Associationists in that day, yet did not live at Brook Farm, but at Mendon, Mass.

During the following month Alcott enumerates these persons as being likely to join the proposed community,--Ripley, Emerson, Parker, S. D. Robbins, and Miss Fuller. Alcott

It was a day when it certainly was very pleasant to live, although it is doubtful whether living would have remained as pleasant, had one half the projects of the period become fulfilled. The eighty-two pestilent heresies that were already reckoned up in Massachusetts before 1638, or the generation of odd names and natures which the Earl of Strafford found among the English Roundheads, could hardly surpass those of which Boston was the centre during the interval between the year 1835 and the absorbing political upheaval of 1848. The best single picture of the period is in Emerson's lecture on New England reformers, delivered in March, 1844; but it tells only a part of the story, for one very-marked trait of the period was that the agitation reached a

But I know no reason to suppose that any of these, except Mr. Ripley himself, had any such serious intention; though Mr. Emerson himself was so far influenced by the prevailing tendency as to offer to share his house with Mr. Alcott and his family, while suggesting that other like-minded. persons should settle near them in Concord.

an ardent Fourierite, though not actually a Brook-Farmer. Outside the door was painted in flaming colors a yellow sun, at the centre of whose blazing rays was the motto Universal Unity, while beneath it hung another inscription in black and white letters, Please wipe your feet. This emblazonment and this caution symbolized the whole movement. The gateway of Brook Farm might have been similarly inscribed. There was a singular moral purity about it which observers from the point of view of Paris or even London have since found a little contemptible. With the utmost freedom in all things, and a comprehensiveness to which that of the latitude-men about Cambridge in England was timid conservatism, Brook Farm, like all other haunts of the come-outers of the period, was as chaste as a Shaker household. But it will readily be seen that amid this impulse of universal reform some such enterprise as Brook Farm was inevitable. Already at New Harmony, Zoar, and elsewhere in the Western S

The anti-slavery movement was the profoundest moral element, on the whole, but a multitude of special enterprises also played their parts. People habitually spoke, in those days, of the sisterhood of reforms, and it was in as bad taste for a poor man to have but one hobby in his head as for a rich man to keep but one horse in his stable.

us habit of life was decidedly soberer and better ordered than that of to-day; stricter in observance, more conventional in costume. There could hardly be a better illustration of this fact than when Emerson includes in his enumeration of eccentricities men witli beards; for I can well remember when Charles Burleigh was charged with blasphemy, because his flowing locks and handsome untrimmed beard was thought to resemble — as very likely he intended — the pictures of Jesus Christ ; and when Lowell was thought to have formally announced a daring impulse of radicalism, after he, too, had eschewed the razor. The only memorial we retain unchanged from that picturesque period is in some stray member of the Hutchinson family who still comes before the public with now whitening locks and vast collar that needs no whitening; and continues to sing with unchanged sweetness the plaintive melodies that hushed the stormiest meeting when he and his four or five long-haired brothers stood grouped

but for one single cause,--the magic wielded by a man of genius. Zenobia in Hawthorne's Blithedale romance has scarcely a trait in common with Margaret Fuller; yet novelist, it is especially true of the most ideal of all writers of fiction, Hawthorne. Even his real people, when he writes what he means for sober history, becomer lorded it over the other cows; this was all that she really contributed to Hawthorne's Zenobia ; and much less than this would have been sufficient for his purpos labors. The very costume was by no means that monotony of old clothes which Hawthorne depicts in the Blithedale romance, for some of the youths looked handsome as erson, joined occasionally in its merry-makings. In his American note-books, Hawthorne once describes them as appearing together at a festival. But to her, from tha member, nor an advocate of the enterprise; and even Miss Fuller's cow which Hawthorne tried so hard to milk American note-books, II. 4. was a being as wholly imag
