Revolutionist's Handbook and Pocket Companion

An essayist argues that political revolution alone cannot remake human nature and urges deliberate social and biological reform: cultivating superior minds through selective breeding, widening mate selection by removing barriers such as property and restrictive marriage, and promoting equality to broaden hereditary choice. Institutional change is portrayed as superficial unless it serves the larger aim of improving the unconscious qualities that make people strong or creative. The author rejects reliance on providence, favors human agency and experimental methods over fixed prescriptions, and balances social critique with provocative prescriptions for intentionally shaping future generations.
