A SAYING OF SAINT-SIMON’S
...“There is
Saint-Simon
’s well-known assertion, on
account of which a court charge was brought against
him, that the loss France would suffer by the sudden
death of a thousand of her highest officials or the members
of the royal family would be infinitely smaller than that
which would be caused by the death of a thousand of
her best workers” (p. 11 in Emil Kaler’s “Wilhelm
Weitling”, Zurich, 1887, No. XI of the
Sozialdemokra-
tische Bibliothek
).

According to the Brockhaus
Encyclopaedia
,
German edition, Saint-Simon said this not about
1,000, but about 10,000 (N.B.)—in “A Political
Parable”, in the first issue of
L’Organisateur
1820).
