Harbinger, the (1845–49), weekly Fourierist newspaper, edited by George Ripley, was dedicated to “the examination and discussion of the great questions in social science, politics, literature, and the arts, which command the attention of all believers in the progress and elevation of humanity.” Until 1847 it was the official organ of Brook Farm, and it attained a circulation of approximately 1000. It was later edited from New York by Ripley and Parke Godwin for the American Union of Associationists. Among the contributors were Lowell, Whittier, C.A. Dana, Greeley, the younger W.E. Channing, and J.S. Dwight, whose critical articles made the paper one of the leading musical journals of the U.S.
