“Mr Brisbane offered to lend me a volume of Fourier now in your hands. Will you, when you have done with it, have the kindness to leave it with Miss Peabody directed to me?”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. III. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1986.

Inferred Hudspeth identified indicate she read Fourier's Nouveau Monde industriel et societaire in September 1844, suggesting this may be the circulating volume, though Albert Brisbane's Association: or a Concise Exposition of the Practical Part of Fourier's Social Science was also in circulation at the time.
