From Pat Deveney's database:
This was another attempt by Owen to spread the word of the coming new existence of man upon the earth, an era brought about by man’s innate spiritual nature and the “advanced spirits in the higher spheres of the spirit world [who] are now most actively engaged in preparing men’s minds for this great and all-glorious change, when old things shall pass away and all become new.” Harvard University; University of Wisconsin; University of Minnesota; etc.

Robert Owen's Millennial Gazette is the aged reformer's own late organ, carrying the Owenite gospel of the New Moral World: character is formed by surroundings, and the 'regeneration of human society' will come through the Rational System rather than through religion. Reported from the Owenite hall in John Street, Fitzroy Square, its 'millennium' is a secular, socialist one — the coming co-operative order — though Owen's late conversion to spiritualism surfaces in talk of mediums and the spirit world. Owenite circles' taste for phrenology leaves a light trace as well. It reads as a founding document of utopian socialism in its founder's last years, shading into the spiritualism he embraced at the end.
