Annotation

Eutopia established within twenty years through the efforts of one man, a Mr. Adams, an inventor who so improves the railroads as to radically enhance the British economy. He then sets about to reform the political and social systems as well as rationalizing the economy. Most of the standard reforms of the day, such as universal conscription, free marriage and divorce, health care, and more sense in the legislature, are included. Travel eliminates ignorance and hatred.
