/ Proudhan & His "Bank of the ~eople" 1 Charles A. Dana ! Kerr, Chicago, 1984 1; In 1849 Proudhon was imprisoned in France on the charge of libel against then-president Louis Napoleon Bonaparte. While Proudhon was "serving time", Charles A. Dana (editor of Tha lieu Yark Trihuns) I published a series of articles about him. I Shortly af rer the apFearance of .these ( articles, Dana revised them for The Spirif I of the Age, a weekly paper published in : New York and edited by the Rev. William Henry Channing. i In 1896, Benjamin R. Tucker collated the i series into a pamphlet; and now the I Charles H. Kerr Publishing Co., an old-! line publisher of radical literature, has ' reprinted Tucker's pamphlet with a new I introduction by Paul Avrich. As originally intended, Dana's articlcs do indeed serve as an excellent introductfon to Psoudhon's economic and political ideas, which he termed "Mutualism". The Kerr Company is to be congratulated for making this pamphlet available once again.
