1/1, November 6, 1851-7/41 (new series), December 26, 1870. This was the organ of John Humphrey Noyes's perfectionist utopian and communistic communities. The group is most noted today for its advocacy of what would come to be called "karezza"--prolonged sexual intercourse without ejaculation. In the early days and occasionally thereafter there are articles on the position the communities should take with regard to spiritualism (or "spiritualisms," as they often preferred to name the new movement). NYS Library, microfilm, 1851-1879; SUNY Buffalo; University of Utah; University of Central Oklahoma.
