144231Very Good. Duodecimo 4 pages on 2 conjugate leaves Hampstead 29 March 1899. Folded for posting; a few light smudges; paper a little unevenly tanned; in very good condition. The letter addressed to a Dr Williams begins with a declaration: 'I hasten to say that I personally am not a believer in telegony' a theory of heredity claiming that offspring can inherit the characteristics of a previous mate of the female parent. He corrects a misunderstanding that may have arisen from something he said regarding dog and horse breeders; 'It is also attested of negresses that have born to a white man that they will bear afterwards partially white children to a black man. some years ago I investigated the matter by testing for some five hundred pairs of sons & daughters whether the younger were more like the Father than the Mother but I could find no trace of it. Francis Galton at the discussion which followed the paper spoke of telegony as a superstition and Lankester Poulton & others had nothing to say in favour of it'. <p>He refers to Charles Darwin's account in '"Origin of Species" . of Lord Morton's quagga' and notes that Ewart has been trying to repeat the experiment without success. 'I should say that telegony like the inheritance of acquired characters may have an element of truth in it but all the arguments in favour of it so far deduced are from the scientific standpoint worthless. It is a widespread superstition'. <p>Karl Pearson 'has been credited with establishing the discipline of mathematical statistics. He founded the world's first university statistics department at University College London in 1911 and contributed significantly to the field of biometrics and meteorology. Pearson was also a proponent of Social Darwinism and eugenics and his thought is an example of what is today described as scientific racism' Wikipedia. He was the first Galton Professor of Eugenics holding the chair from 1911 to 1933. unknown

From the California Academy of Sciences Jordan "was a widely revered ichthyologist founding president of Stanford University and intermittent president and curator of fish at the California Academy of Sciences. Perhaps less well-known however fairly well-documented was his leadership role in the American eugenics movement. Jordan believed that people with traits he deemed desirable deserve to have children. He thought that people he deemed "unfit" should not reproduce and in many cases should undergo compulsory sterilization—or be surgically prevented from having children even against their will. In addition to his beliefs and practices rooted in eugenics Jordan held other racist sexist ableist and colonialist ideas. Our research into the archives at the Academy and at Stanford revealed a fuller picture of the life of Jordan and his influence that affects the Academy and science as a whole to this day American Unitarian Association hardcover

TLS on letterhead “Copy†and Osborn’s initials in ink crease folds wear & minor tears at folds some age toning still VG- set. These two scarce original promotional brochure and TLS reflect the ongoing efforts by prominent eugenicist Paul Popenoe dubbed “the father of marriage counseling†to spread and inculcate followers into his racist eugenics policies. The letter to the YMCA at Brown University to drum up speaking tour dates from the Institute’s Educational Director Loran Osborn writes that “his Popenoe’s fee is $100 per day . . . and he is perfectly willing to speak two of three times in a day. . . .†His speaking subjects included “A Biological View of the Jewish Problem†“The Progress of Eugenics†“Should Women Compete with Men†and others in the same vein. Popenoe advocated sterilization for those who were deemed unfit to reproduce and marriage counseling for healthy “White†couples and whose lectures often stated that “continued limitation of offspring in the White race simily inites the Black Brown and other races to finish the work already begun by Birth Control and reduce the “Whites†to a subject race. Most of Popenoe’s beliefs became institutionalized into conservative Christian movements and evangelical churches in Southern California and his Institute of Family Relations influenced generations of marriage counselors.

191385169Chicago: O. M. Heath & Co 1913. First Edition. First printing. Octavo 19cm. Purple ribbed cloth spine and cover titles in gilt; 3031pp; portrait frontispiece and five unnumbered leaves of photographic plates halftones. A tight clean copy free of markings with just a hint of sunning to spine cloth; very Near Fine. <br /> <br /> A collection of six short tales each intended to illustrate a different aspect of "the prevalence of degeneracy in the modern era" jacket. Composts of Tradition was self-published and marketed aggressively in contemporary periodicals including The Masses and Pearson's; one such advertisement in the January 1915 issue of Pearson's outlines the book's intention: "It is not a book for prudes either male or female. It is a book for aggressive and advanced thinkers. Among other doctrines it advocates: 1 Sterilization of physical social and mental defectives; 2 Annihilation of the stigma attached to the bar-sinister; 3 Encouragement of reproduction upon the part of the fit; 4 Maintenance of all children by society; 5 Monogamy but marriage ceremonies to be optional not obligatory; 6 Divorce by collusion." At least one of the stories "Maid of the Neptunian Strand" has fantasy elements. <br /> <br /> Oscar Morrill Heath c.1872-1952 was a Chicago secondary school teacher and lecturer-for-hire on social subjects; beginning about 1905 through at least the 1920s we lose sight of him around 1930 he was the proprietor of a Chicago correspondence school for schoolteachers The Cultural Review School through whose auspices he issued a few ephemeral publications as well as a monthly magazine Teaching As A Profession. Additionally thanks to the trade card mounted in the front we know that Heath was the proprietor of at least two Chicago beauty parlors. From contemporary newspaper acccounts it appears that the current work landed Heath at least temporarily in hot water; the Chicago Tribune for November 6 1913 includes an article stating that Heath's status as an instructor at Englewood High School was "under review" pending publication of a book that was "critical of the nuptial bond" and seemed to condone childbirth out of wedlock. It is quite possible that Heath lost his position over the book as in subsequent years we find him advertising his services as a freelance instructor in a variety of topics including a review course in math for candidates to Army Officers' Candidate School during WW1. <br /> <br /> Despite its fetching title the current work is somewhat uncommon with fewer than 20 locations in OCLC most apparently in circulating collections.

In the current work Blanchard writing in the voice of a woman librarian looking back from 22nd century America envisions a future world made perfect through collectivization land reform the emancipation of women and - sigh - as in so many technological utopias of the period Eugenics: ".Can you imagine a greater folly than asylums and prisons.making more and more criminals more unfits and misfits being born each year then burdening society with their care and support When Altruism gained power we blotted out those hopelessly unfit to live.we removed the cause of crime and purged the nation of its defective taint." Such "blotting out" was a common dream among a certain class of pre-war scientists and physicians turned into a horrifying reality by the Third Reich. An uncommon work especially so in the dust jacket which is rarely seen. HANNA 362. NEGLEY 116. SARGENT p.98. Medical Success Press unknown
