This author's review of a work of technological utopianism by John Adolphus Etzler served as the basis for his essay "Paradise (to be) Regained". He described Mount Wachusett as "the observatory of the state" in one work, and he claimed that "the preservation of the world" lies in "wildness" in another. In one of his works, the section "Higher Laws" is preceded by an episode involving a visit to John Farmer's hut. That work by this man opens with the chapters "Economy" and (*) "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For". He asserted "that government is best which governs least" in a work that was partly inspired by his refusal to pay a poll tax that indirectly supported slavery. For 10 points, name this American author of "Civil Disobedience" and Walden.
