It was at the suggestion of my friend, Mr. W. D. Howells, to whose able leadership the Atlantic Monthly owes much of its well-earned popularity, that these papers were written as a serial for his Magazine. I owe to him many pleasant, and I hope profitable hours, since a calm retrospect, at an advanced age, of past hopes, labours, errors, experiences, can never be without its use. If the public, passing these in review, finds itself under similar obligation toM r. Howells, I shall be glad that I was invited to a task which, till he incited, I had not thought of undertaking. R.

Robert Dale Owen, the eldest son of Robert Owen, was born in Glasgow, Scotland, November 9, 1801.
After studying for 4 years at Hofwyl, Switzerland, he came home to head his old school, which he celebrated in his An Outline of the System of Education at New Lanark (1824).
Born in Glasgow, Scotland, Owen emigrated to the United States in 1825, and helped his father create the community of New Harmony, Indiana, where he taught and edited its Gazette.
When Owen returned to New Harmony he found it in decay; still bent on social change, he organized a group of "Free Enquirers" who repudiated religion, exalted education for all, and urged lenient divorce laws and fairer distribution of wealth.
Owen moved to New York City in 1829, and with Frances Wright urged his causes in the Sentinel and the Free Enquirer, as well as through the short-lived New York Working Men's party.
In 1836 Owen was elected for the first of three terms in the Indiana Legislature.
There he advocated liberal causes, including universal education.
In 1842 he was sent as a regular Democrat to the U. S. Congress.
During his second term in Congress he prepared the bill (1845) creating the Smithsonian Institution.
Defeated for a third term in Congress, Owen helped liberalize rights for women in Indiana.
Back in America 5 years later, Owen joined other antislavery Democrats in crossing over to the Republican party.
He was a moderate on slavery, but the increasing gulf between pro and antislavery forces gave contemporary distinction to such writings as The Wrong of Slavery (1864). In Italy, Owen had been converted, like his father, to spiritualism, and he wrote eloquently on its behalf in Footfalls on the Boundary of Another World (1860) and The Debatable Land between This World and the Next (1872).
His last years were hectic, owing to the death of his wife in 1871, embarrassments caused by unscrupulous spiritualists, and his own bout with mental illness in 1875, from which he recovered.
The town of Dale, Indiana was named in Owen's honor on the lawn of the Indiana Statehouse.
In 1911, the women of Indiana dedicated a memorial to Owen on the grounds of the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis that included a bronze bust of the statesman created by New Castle, Indiana native Frances Goodwin. The bust of Owen disappeared in the early 1970s; only its pedestal remains.

During 1829–30, Owen became an active leader in the Working Men's Party in New York City. In contrast to other Democrats of the era, Owen opposed to slavery, although his partisan radicalism distanced him from the leading abolitionists of the era.
After Working Men's party (1829–1831) Owen joined Democratic party (1832–1858).
He was a member of the Indiana House of Representatives and a member of the U. S. House of Representatives.
In 1832 Owen married Mary Jane Robinson in a ceremony repudiating male dominance.
