Claude-Generated Themes:   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.
