The original edition, entitled "L'An 2440" was published in 1770. In this edition the translator has included a note stating that the only change he made in the book was rounding up the date. The text is that of the Dublin 1772 edition. xi, [i], 360 pp. 1 vols. 12mo. First Utopian Novel printed in America. Mercier's satire on France and the French. Trousson calls Mercier "the father of the modern Utopia" as his is the "first genuine utopia set in future times." (Lewis) In this work the writer sleeps 670 years and awakens in a reformed France without a monarchy, where there is a leveling of wealth, no international trade or colonies and the American colonies are independent but "united under one spirit of legislation." This was deemed seditious and banned.

The first Utopian novel printed in America. Rare. Bowe and Daniels F633; Bleiler p. 26; Shipton and Mooney 29068; Wilke, "L'Ans 2440", Harvard Library Bulletin; Lewis "Utopian Literature in the Pennsylvania State University Libraries" p. 120. For the first English edition of 1772 Block p. 160
