Text foxed pages 375-382 bound out of order but present. Good.<br/><br/> Joe Felcone's long note on this title explains how "Barclay's 'little troubles' as he called them began to develop into a major crisis." Barclay had a weakness for the ladies and was charged with having attempted to seduce several of them; as well as lying horse stealing baptizing a horse and "of inhumanely beating his 'negro wench' Chloe." Though exonerated he was nevertheless "admonished and his pastoral connection was dissolved." Kerr who was a member of Barclay's congregation appealed and though rebuffed continued to press his case so persistently "that he was barred from attending church." He wrote this book in order to vindicate his position. <br/>FIRST EDITION. Felcone 820. Cohen 11959. AI 31861 2. Sabin 37628. Printed for the Author, by R. and P. Canfield unknown books

1969139943London: Macdonald Science Fiction 1969. Octavo boards. First British and first hardcover edition. A rebellious misfit becomes a good citizen as the result of harsh behavioral conditioning. "A society sterile and corrupt itself sentences its outcasts to 'Ultra Conscience' and the ring. Ultra Conscience -- the society's moral code imprinted by computer into the subconscious of the outcast -- and the ring -- a shocking device sealed on the finger -- operate in conjunction to form a prison of the mind. Though still holding the same beliefs and inclinations as before 'ringers' many not even entertain a thought contrary to Ultra Conscience without a cruel shock from the ring." - Berger Science Fiction and the New Dark Age p. 107. Perversely the authors' victimized hero "realizes that the ring is in fact a good idea in this vision of an unusually coercive technological utopia." - Pringle The Ultimate Guide to Science Fiction second edition p. 305.
