""Saint-Simon and Saint-Simonism: A Chapter in the History of Socialism in France"" is a book written by Arthur John Booth in 1871. The book provides a comprehensive account of the life and philosophy of Claude Henri de Rouvroy, Comte de Saint-Simon, a prominent French philosopher, economist, and social theorist of the 19th century.

The book covers Saint-Simon's early life, his education, and his intellectual development, including his ideas on social organization, industrial development, and the role of science and technology in society. It also delves into the social and political context of France during Saint-Simon's time, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Restoration period. Booth examines the key ideas and principles of Saint-Simonism, including the importance of industrialization, the role of experts and scientists in society, and the need for social and economic reform. He also discusses the influence of Saint-Simonism on other socialist movements, such as Fourierism and Marxism, and its impact on the development of socialist thought in France and Europe. Overall, ""Saint-Simon and Saint-Simonism: A Chapter in the History of Socialism in France"" provides a detailed and insightful analysis of one of the most important figures in the history of socialist thought, and his lasting impact on the development of socialism in France and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
