Henry Edger (22 January 1820, Chelwood Gate – April 1888, Paris) was an English positivist active in the nineteenth century.
[1] Although originally attracted to the Fourierist community in Red Bank, New Jersey, he stayed there for only a few months.
He built an oratory with a steeple attached to his log cabin, and conducted the Comtean religious rites.
However aside from his friends John Metcalf and Charles Codman, his efforts to spread positivism had little impact outside his family.
With his convert, John Metcalf, he provided a range of Positivist reading material available by mail including Modern Times, the Labor question, and the Family which he written himself.
