Abstract: Abstract Cornelius Camden Blatchly was born on 1 January 1773 in Mendham, New Jersey. As a physician, he practised among New York’s poor. His first important publication was the essay Some Causes of Popular Poverty which appeared in 1817 as an appendix to Thomas Branagan’s Pleasures of Contemplation (the author’s name is given as C.C. Blatchley). Around 1820 Blatchly founded the New York Society for Promoting Communities, which two years later published his An Essay on Common Wealths, containing a large number of excerpts from Robert Owen’s A New View of Society. Later in the 1820s he supported the working men’s political movement in New York City. Blatchly died on 5 December, 1831.
