In some of my old HETM lectures I found a margin note that the word 
"socialism" was coined by the French journalist Pierre Leroux in 1798.  
Unfortunately, I provided myself with no citation to such. Can anyone 
assess the veracity of this claim? 
 
I note that Brue (p. 180) indicates that the word "in the modern sense 
was first used in the Owenite Co-operative Magazine in 1827 to designate 
the followers of Owen's cooperative doctrines."
