fine Domain three miles square. in the centre OF
which il would erect commodous and elegant

would be represented by Stock divided into Shares,

boat, and Manufactures. Persons would own
Stock according to the amount Of Capital which
they invested BY this means individual Property
will be- maintained.
We will now proceed to describe the Edhcc

for another article.
The Edihce. outhouses, and the distribution Of
the grounds of an Association, whose Operation,
and Industry are regulated by concert and com

fssed mass of small houses, which compose our
tswns and villages and cover our farms, and which
vie with each other in dirt, uglincss and neon
venience an Association would build regular
Edifce, combining the highest degree OF architcc-
tura beauty and convenience. The Edtccs OF
Associations will conform, to a great degree, IN
ali countries to one general plan, which Fourier

will ne a place Of meeting, where the inhabitants
can discus. their public and private Affairs con-

Observatory, Gallery of Fine Arts and Scientific
Collections, which later every ASSOCIATION "ou'u
