[New Harmony Imprint] Maclure, William. OPINIONS ON VARIOUS SUBJECTS, DEDICATED TO THE INDUSTRIOUS PRODUCERS.
1837. HOWES M162, 163. Maclure was a pioneer geologist and agricultural educator. In 1817, he published the first geological map of the United States, "the first map of its scope in the history of geology." Intent on establishing an agricultural school to educate the working classes, Maclure purchased a large tract of land in Spain. This land was subsequently seized by the Spanish church and Maclure moved operations to Robert Owen's projected community of New Harmony in Indiana. He convinced Thomas Say, Charles LeSueur, and a number of other prominent scientists to accompany him. There he continued in his efforts to organize adult education societies for the working classes. The failure of Maclure's health drew him to Mexico. From there, he corresponded with his scientific friends and wrote articles for the New Harmony "Disseminator". These papers were collected & published as above, joining the list of rare New Harmony imprints. Maclure died in Mexico in 1840. 2 vols., 1837 1st eds. (3rd issue of vol.1, pub. in the same year, & evidently from the same sheets as the 1st issue). 8vo.; {4}, 483; {8}, 556. 19th century full calf (some wear to joints); foxed, as usual; slight dampstaining to endpapers, affecting a few pgs. of text.

Las Casas had voyaged with Columbus in 1498 and again in 1502 to the West Indies, spending much time as an observer to the barbarities the Spanish inflicted on the natives.

This narrative chronicles many atrocities and offers proposals to prevent what he termed "the further Ruin of the West Indies." This is enlarged from the 1697 ed.
