! LEcrUREs on ASSOCIATION The Fourth Lecture
Of the Course on Association in Lyceum Hall, was de
uvered las, evening, BY Mr.. GEoRsE RIPLEY, on The
Life and Character Of CHAALES FouRIEA.' Mr.. Ripley
commenced his lecture by stating the position Of Four
Ter in the history Of the 10th century the d'eoverer
Of the laws Of social harmony and the scientific ex'
FOUNDER Of the principles which govern he destiny OF
man on earth lie then gave condensed narrative OF
the most important incidents in the life OF Eourier-the
circumstances which put him the track OF his great
scientific dscovery-he successive steps by which the
system Of Universal Harmony was developed In his own
mind and the devotion and constsney with which he
applied himself till his last moments TO the establish
ment and PRONUNCIATION Of his IDEAS for the social re-
dempnon Of Humanity.
The lecturer presented bns analysis of the System
Of Fourier in its scientific relsnons,-showed the prsc
ucsbity and importance OF ia application 10 social ins
tutons and forciby appealed 10 the friends oil socia
progress for their united influence to give the theory
the illustration Of practical experiment He showed
that Fourier was not to bs eonfounded with the quac
and charlAtAn. who in different ages have propoundec
, their own dream and fances for the construction o.
,ocety-but that be reverent and intelligent stu
dent of the divine lawhAt he cherished strong iaitt
in the reality Of divine social code for the regulation
of sociey-and that his system only an exposition
of this code ordained by the Deity for tbs establish
ment of social order
Mr.. R. spoke at some length on the coincidence Dc
tween the principles of Fourier and the spirit OF Chrf
tisnity nasmuch they both aim at the realEauon
Justice truth and love- in social resdons-si the Pre-
duction of Universal Harmony and obedience to IN
Divine VIII on Earth as in Heaven
The lecture was concluded with glowing descripuo
of the effects which would be witnessed in future age
from the application OF the laws OF Harmony 10 soc
