Description

The Vegetarian Society was established in Manchester, England in 1847, and is the oldest vegetarian organization in the world.

The Vegetarian Messenger became the official journal for The Vegetarian Society. This is volume 1.

The influence of Bronson Alcott's cruelty-free philosophy is clearly visible in The Vegetarian Messenger, first printed in 1849, which advocated for a lifestyle free of animal products.

Bronson Alcott's "Vegetable Diet" is referenced, repeated, and defended throughout the periodical, which meticulously outlines the principle, theory, and practice of vegetarianism.
