[notice], Boston Investigator, 19, 21 (September 25, 1849), 3. The letter of friend Warren, in another column, should not be passed over on account of its length.

[notice], Boston Investigator, 19, 2 (May 16, 1849), 2. Josiah Warren, the indefatigable pioneer of Reform, accompanied by Amos E. Senter, and his accomplished wife, passed through here last week to join the brotherhood who give “Labor for Labor,” in Utopia. A few friends called upon them, and had a graphic sketch of the cheering reception given to friend Warren’s views, in Boston; where, during their exposition in public, the closest scrutiny of questioning brough only satisfactory responses, and faully satisfied the most skeptical opponents of progress, that “Equitable Commerce,” which makes “cost the limit of price,” is the true […]

“Equitable Commerce,” Boston Investigator, 19, 2 (May 16, 1849), 2. Equitable Commerce. We extract the following paragraphs from a pamphlet with this title, by Josiah Warren, published at Utopia, Ohio:— If a traveller in a hot day, stops at a farm house and asks for a drink of water, he generally gels it without any thought of price. Why?—Because it costs nothing, or its cost is immaterial. If the traveller was so thirsty that he would give a dollar for the water rather than not have it, this would be the value of the water to him; and if the […]

“People’s Sunday Meeting,” Boston Investigator, 18, 45 (March 14, 1849), 3. People’s Sunday Meeting:—Mr. Warren’s lecture last Sunday afternoon on Music was well attended, and listened to with much interest. He commenced by going into a long and critical examination of the present system of teaching the art, and after showing the difficulties of acquiring it in consequence of the vague and ambiguous mode in which it is written, he presented his new system of writing music, which he maintained was so simplified and easy to understand as to be reality acquired by the masses. He has paid much attention […]

Senter: 1849.” We have not yet had an opportunity to examine this pamphlet carefully, but from a cursory glance at its pages, we are satisfied that it is written with much ability, and with a sincere desire to promote the happiness and improvement of mankind. Independent of Mr. Warren’s peculiar theory, […]

“People’s Sunday Meeting,” Boston Investigator, 18, 44 (March 7, 1849), 3. People’s Sunday Meeting:—By reference to the advertisement of this Society, it will be seen that Mr. Warren will deliver next Sunday a lecture on Music and Singing. We understand he has a new and original theory on this very pleasing subject, and being also practically acquainted with it, having for some years past been an occasional teacher, we have no doubt of his ability to five an interesting and instructive lecture. We ask for him a crowded Hall. The position he takes is, that the reason why people do […]
