A Discourse on the Christian Union: The Substance of Which Was Delivered Before the Reverend Convention of the Congregational Clergy in the Colony of Rhode Island; Assembled at Bristol. April 23, 1760 - Ezra Stiles A.M. (1727-95) (Printed and sold by Edes and Gill, 1761)
Projects New England into the next century. Most of the book is concerned with what Christians agreed upon and where they disagree. From page 145 (1799 ed.) a lot of space is devoted to the increase in population of each of the four sects he finds worthy of attention, Episcopalians, Friends (Quakers), Baptists, and Congregationalists, with the last showing the greatest increase in population and in the number of churches. His concern is that without unity among Christians, or at least Protestants, the coming generations will become indifferent or tempted by other churches. Therefore, he gives suggestions for those who in the future will found new communities. He stresses the need for such new communities to establish churches and bring in ministers. At page 154 (1799 ed.) he projects one hundred years into the future, when he foresees the plain churches of his day replaced “with temples whose colonades [as spelled] are deckt with guilt busts of angels winged. . . .” Seven million Congregationalists at that time.

Christian allegory inspired by reading Virgil’s description of the Elysian Fields. Young men travel to the island of Pleasure where they are told that reason in the days of youth consists entirely in the choice of pleasures. But as they are about to enter the Temple of Pleasure, an old man warns them of the negative consequences of a life oriented toward pleasure. Th dreamer awakes unsure which path he would have chosen.

A critique of utopianism. Happy Valley has a supposedly perfect life for the children of an emperor but seems dull to Rasselas, and he explores the world finding problems with almost all activities. Eutopia is found neither in the Happy Valley nor in the outside world. A continuation that is sometimes called a utopia, e.g., by Glenn Negley, Utopian Literature: A Bibliography with A Supplementary Listing of Works Influential in Utopian Thought (Lawrence: Regents Press of Kansas, 1978), 79, that I cannot make fit any reasonable definition of utopia is [Ellis Cornelia Knight], Dinarbas; A Tale: Being a Continuation of RASSELAS, Prince of Abissinia.

Eutopian educational system. The Miranians believe that a good education is required for a good society and that a common education is needed to bring together the varied peoples who inhabited the country. The students were divided into two groups taught by different people in separate institutions, those intended for the learned professions and those intended for “Mechanic Professions, and all the remaining People of the Country” (14). The first are taught learned languages; the rest are not and finish their education at age fifteen. Those intended for the professions are taught English and Latin to age 15 then one year each of Greek; mathematics; philosophy, meaning ethics and physics; rhetoric and poetry; and agriculture and history. Much concern with the ability to speak and write well. Includes specific details of the education of the first group. Although there is an earlier Christian allegory, this is the earliest known utopia published in what became the United States. Influenced the founders of both King’s College, now Columbia University, and the Academy and College of Philadelphia, now the University of Pennsylvania.

The Adventures, and Surprizing Deliverances, of James Dubourdieu, and His Wife: Who were taken by Pyrates, and carried to the Uninhabited-Part of the Isle of Paradise. Containing A Description of that Country, its Laws, Religion and Customs: Of Their being at last releas'd; and how they came to Paris, where they are still living. Also, The Adventures of Alexander Vendchurch, Whose Ship's Crew Rebelled against him, and set him on Shore of an Island in the South-Sea, where he liv'd five Years, five Months, and seven Days; and was at last providentially releas'd by a Jamaica Ship. Written by Himself - [Ambrose] [Evans] (Ptd. by J. Bettenham; C. Rivington; J. Brotherton and W. Meadows; A. Dodd; and W. Charwood, 1719)
The first is a eutopia. The people go nude and are very healthy. No government, although elders get respect and deference. Monogamous and the marriage ceremony is described in detail. No private property, and there is no source of wealth. Religious and the people see every day as service to God. They believe that God has imprinted the law in people and reason is the guide to those laws. Reject Christianity when told of it. Spend their time tending the plants and trees, from which they get their food and create their buildings (from the living plants), singing and dancing, and raising their children. Do not understand the concept of gain or riches. "How happy we are, who want nothing that's necessary to life, nor have any desires or wishes for what we do not want" (78/Claeys 83). The second is an adventure and romance story which ends with the separated couple being abandoned on the same island and creating a brief lover's eutopia.

The Adept's Case, Briefly Shewing: I. What Adepts are; and what they are said to perform. II. What Reason there is, to think that there are Adepts. III. What would invite them to appear, and be beneficial in a Nation. IV. What Arguments there are, for and against, the taking of such Measures - A Philadept [pseud.] (Np, 1700)
Sequel to 1698 A Philadept. An Essay Concerning Adepts appealing for adepts to identify themselves.

They will be allowed to have 15,000 pounds of gold and silver minted each year as long as they pay the government 5,000 pounds each year. See also 1700 Annus Sophiae Jubilaeus.

"The Law Book" - Sir Ambrose Crowley (1658-1713) (The Law Book of the Crowley Iron Works, 1700)
A very odd book that presents one hundred and thirteen "laws" for the operation of the author's iron works. It is borderline as a utopia but is included because it details all the daily activities of the workers in a large factory including "welfare services" and "poor relief".  See the discussion in J.C. Davis, Utopia and the Ideal Society: A Study of English Utopian Writing 1516-1700 (Cambridge, Eng.: Cambridge University Press, 1981), 351-55.

Apparently intended as a serious analysis of Ireland and its people, it proposes the complete suppression of the Irish people, the expropriation of all the land, exchange of the Irish among counties where they will work for English landlords, slaughter of cattle, and taxing the Irish to pay for the military that will suppress them. Argues that the Irish are descended from the barbarian Scythians and that resisting English law indicates that the Irish are “the lowest form of savages” (Hadfield and Maley ed., xx).
