Freedom and Independence for the Golden Lands of Australia; The Right of the Colonies, and The Interest of Britain and of the World - John Dunmore Lang, D.D., A.M. (1799-1878) (Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1852)
Non-fiction argument for Australian independence, but in the process the author discusses an at least partially eutopian future for the South Pacific. Specifically, he discusses opportunities for advancement for young men who would not be able to advance in Britain or in a colony and the room provided for more British poor to become self-sufficient. Freedom and independence will also lead to a more educated, moral, and Christian citizenry. In addition, he argues that Australia will provide raw materials for British industry and an increased outlet for its goods, and that both will be enhanced by freedom and independence. According to him, New Zealand would be bound to join the federation.

The Book of the New Moral World, on Government and Laws. Part Sixth - Robert Owen (1771-1858) (J. Watson, 1844)
Owen's The Book of the New Moral World was published in seven parts between 1836 and 1844, each with a separate, different title page. The first five parts lay down and explain his principles, and the seventh part argues that his system will be adopted. This sixth part is the only explicitly utopian part in that it gives a detailed constitution and legal system for the Owenite eutopia, which differs from the text under the same title in 1830 Owen. See also 1813, 1830, 1839, 1841, 1843, 1846, and 1855 (2) Owen.

The United Worlds: A Poem in Fifty Seven Books - [General] [Nathaniel] [King] (1767-1848) (Printed for the Proprietor. Smith Press, 1834)
On the first page, the author says, “The writer of this poem aims at the moral improvement of the reader. Chiefly he would inculcate the love of civil and religious liberty,--of justice,--of peace and mercy,--of temperance. These virtues cannot come single. He would also encourage public enterprise--ardor in undertaking, and perseverance in accomplishing.” Using the theory of John Cleves Symmes (1780-1829), the interior of the Earth immediately under America consists of six concentric Orbs that have been linked by roads and bridges and has a democratically elected government with representatives from each Orb. It is inhabited by peaceful people descended from Noah who have advanced technology based on advanced steam technology, including giant machines “in the form of man” called Androides (34-35). The capitol, Golden City, is located directly under corrupt New York. The Subterraneans meet with a Christian missionary and are converted. They meet in a great conclave and conclude that they should bring peace to the surface. They meet in Washington and an agreement is reached, which is then undermined by a group of conspirators. War follows, which the Subterraneans win. Delegates from all nations and regions of the surface convene and adopt a Constitution for the United Worlds that includes two legislative branches and an elective Chief with no veto. No despotism, no slavery. “Peace, truth, right, temperance, pureness, mercy’s reign/These the world’s order that the law sustain” (248). The Copy of the book at the University of Virginia is from the granddaughter of Nathaniel King and is inscribed as from grandfather.

Dystopia attacking Robert Owen (1771-1858) citing his New View of Society (1813). A cotton mill run on what are described as Owen's principles is designed to treat the "Man Machine", including children, in such a way as to produce the greatest profits for the proprietor. Equality was the rule, and care was provided for children and seniors. Life was machine-like with everyone working long hours and eating and sleeping on schedule. But "human nature" manifested itself in pride and envy. The story then traces other failed attempts to apply Owen's principles. The stories told by the second and third wise men of Gotham, "The Perfection of Reason" (143-233) and "The Perfection of Science" (235-324), present other failed attempts at human betterment.

Poem beginning with a visit from a prince of the moon to a wealthy Persian man in hopes of marrying his daughter. Much detail on the lavish wealth of the Persian, but Persia is presented as a absolute and cruel monarchy with women obedient. The eutopia on the moon is a limited monarchy with gender equality. Few clothes. High morality. Authors are fined for wasting their time, and the fines support the poor. The poem is followed by "Wonders, A Lunarian Poem, In Two Parts" (49-64), which is an example of a poem for which an author was fined.

The Empire of the Nairs; or, The Rights of Women. An Eutopian Romance, in Twelve Books - James [Henry] Lawrence (1773-1840) (Ptd. for T. Hookham and E.T. Hookham, 1811)
Largely adventure and romance but presented as a picture of a eutopia of equality for women. Men are completely free from all duties except warfare. Women are revered as mothers and supported as such by the state. No marriage and women choose their lovers as they wish. Every house belongs to some woman and men live with relatives or lovers. Lawrence drew inspiration from and refers to Mary Wollstonecraft's (1759-97) Vindication of the Rights of Woman (1782). The description of sexual freedom influenced Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792-1822); see 1817 and 1821 Shelley, both of which were so influenced. Shelley wrote Lawrence on August 17, 1812, saying "Your 'Empire of the Nairs,' which I read this Spring, succeeded in making me a perfect convert to its doctrines" (The Letters of Percy Bysshe Shelley. Ed. Frederick L. Jones. 2 vols. (Oxford, Eng.: Clarendon Press, 1964), 1: 323. See Walter Graham, "Shelley and The Empire of the Nairs." PMLA 40.4 (December 1925): 881-91.

"A plan of a Peace Office for the United States" - [Benjamin] [Rush] (1745-1813) (Banneker's Almanack, and Ephemeris for the Year of Our Lord 1793, 1793)
Essay giving a detailed proposal for a Department of Peace presented in seven proposals: Appointing of a “genuine republican and sincere Christian” to head the office. Establishing free schools “in every city, village and township of the United States. Providing every family with a copy of “a copy of an American edition of the BIBLE.”  Inscribing every “State and Court house” with the words “the son of man came into the world, not to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” Rejecting capital punishment. Repealing militia laws. Eliminating military uniforms, parades, and titles. Has been read as a satire, and while the above proposals appear perfectly serious, the last proposal, which is to adorn the office of the Peace-Office with pictures of those currently at war in peaceful interaction, and a daily singing of a peace song. The War Office would, in contrast, be adorned with reminders of the horrors of war. A United States Peace Institute was established by Congress in 1984; see http://www.usip.org.

"The Paradise of Negro-Slaves.--a dream" - [Benjamin] [Rush] (1745-1813) (The Columbia Magazine: or Monthly Miscellany, 1787)
Those who had been slaves are in their own heaven, where, knowing they are saved, wait for the final judgement. Visited by the author in a dream, they are frightened by seeing a white man but learning that he supports abolition, they welcome him, and a few tell him their stories. Each tells of the horrors of slavery and how they were mistreated and killed, but they hope that those who mistreated them will repent and be saved rather than face damnation for their actions in life. The dream ends with the arrival and welcome of another white man, Anthony Benezet (1713-84), the founder of world's first anti-slavery societies, the Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage, which, after his death, was reconstituted by Benjamin Franklin and Rush as the Pennsylvania Society for the Abolition of Slavery; the first public school for girls in North America; and the Negro School at Philadelphia.

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.

Parker and W. Weyman, 1753)
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 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.
