He assisted in a secondary way in the revolution of 1830, and obtained the See also:appointment of procureur-See also:general in See also:Corsica under the See also:government of See also:- LOUIS

exile in See also:England in 1834, where he became an ardent See also:disciple of See also:Robert See also:Owen. On the See also:amnesty of 1839 he returned to See also:France, and attracted some See also:notice by the publication of a badly written and fiercely democratic See also:history of the Revolution of 1 789 (4 vols., 1840), and of a social See also:romance, Voyage en Icarie, in which he set forth his See also:peculiar views. These See also:works met with some success among the See also:radical working-men of See also:Paris. Like Owen, he sought to realize his ideas in practice, and, pressed as well by his See also:friends, he made arrangements for an experiment in communism on See also:American See also:soil. By negotiations in England favoured by Owen, he See also:purchased a considerable See also:tract of See also:land on the Red See also:river, See also:Texas, and See also:drew up an elaborate See also:- SCHEME (Lat. schema, Gr. oxfjya, figure, form, from the root axe, seen in exeiv, to have, hold, to be of such shape, form, &c.)

Accordingly in 1848 an expedition of 1500 " Icarians " sailed to See also:America; but unexpected difficulties arose and the complaints of the disenchanted settlers soon reached See also:Europe. Cabet, who had remained in France, had more than one judicial investigation to undergo in consequence, but was honourably acquitted. In 1849 he went out in See also:person to America, but on his arrival, finding that the See also:Mormons had been expelled from their See also:city See also:Nauvoo (q.v.), in See also:Illinois, he transferred his See also:settlement thither. There, with the exception of a journey• to France, where he returned to defend himself successfully before the tribunals, he remained, the See also:dictator of his little society. In 1856, however, he withdrew and died the same See also:year at St Louis.
