185553636Peoria: printed by Benjamin Foster 1855. First edition 8vo pp. iv 5-72; some foxing on the early leaves else fine in original printed salmon wrappers. "Root was a former common-school teacher who moved to Peoria County from Ohio in the fall of 1830. He apparently became a farmer after moving to Illinois" Byrd. An eccentric populist attack against big banks and the American legal system from an aging Peoria county farmer who notes that for "more than fifty years I have seen that there was some thing radically wrong in the political and religious world . I exerted myself for more than half a century politically and religiously for the sole purpose of heading and stopping those evils but all to no effect. The public journals both religious and political would not publish my communications because they were Truth." He was apparently a member of the National Reform Association an organization bent on re-Christianizing American society. He puts forth a libertarian philosophy saying that the greatest evils are: first and foremost Land Monopoly; Chattel Slavery; Alcohol; and Monopoly of the Law.

187751868Oneida NY: Office of the American Socialist 1877. Second edition. Octavo 22cm. Printed pale green wrappers; 32pp. A fresh apparently uncirculated copy Near Fine. <br/><br/>A singular aspect of Noyes's Pefectionist philosophy as practiced by his followers at Oneida was the sanctification of the human sexual bond through the practice of "male continence" i.e. coitus reservatus or the withholding of the male orgasm during intercourse. The current pamphlet falls somewhat short of elucidating technique at least to the satisfaction of the uninitiated reader but does provide at some length Noyes's Biblical justifications and his defense of the practice. The first edition appeared in 1866 with the full title Male Continence: or Self-Control in Sexual Intercourse. That title having drawn the attention of Noyes's censors all of the sub-title was dropped from the Second Edition - save the semi-colon which remained a mysterious punctuational ghost or vain apostle; universal symbol of something more to come. <br/><br/>Full disclosure: we are in possession of a substantial remainder of the Second Edition.
