Two letters from the social reformer Robert Owen, New Lanark, 14 November 1819 (f. 35), and [London], 11 [?December] 1819 (f. 36), to the lawyer William Tooke FRS, both seemingly referring to Owen's 'Plan to Improve the Condition of the Lower Classes', as unveiled at a meeting at Freemasons' Hall, London, the previous June, as well as personal matters.
Owen states his intention to 'act in complete unison with the principles I have patiently advocated' (f. 35), has sent copies of his address to the Prime Minister and others (f. 35) and has been busy lobbying members of parliament (f. 36). A debate on the plan in the House of Commons on 16 December came to nothing.

The preface, etc. to a work on 20th century social reformers, translated from a later edition of a work first published in 1840, possibly H. R. L. Reybaud: Études sur les réformateurs ... où socialistes modernes.
