79065Single-page manuscript from an 1839 deposition filed on behalf of an Ohio woman swearing she was of “good moral character and chaste conductâ€.<br /> <br /> The reasons for the deposition are not made clear; however it is likely Nancy Chambers née Delong 1809–69 stood accused of sexual relations with someone other than her husband just before their marriage. Signed by eight of her friends the deposition states specifically they were aware of her conduct from July 1833 until May 1834. On May 14 1834 she married Elias Chambers 1806-70 a brick mason. Their first son Matthew was born 10 months after their marriage.<br /> <br /> The deposition was made August 5 1839 before a justice of the peace at the home of the accused’s friend in Cross Creek Township Ohio. At the time the Chambers had three children. They later moved to Illinois where two additional children were born.<br /> <br /> Chastity until marriage was a strong societal expectation for women during the 19th century. The divorce laws of the time would have favored the plaintiff’s husband under adultery laws and fraudulent contract if he discovered she was not a virgin. unknown

1934List3641New York: Leo Feist Inc 1934. Folio sheet music color pictorial cover. 5 pp 9 ⅛ x 12 inches. Near Fine. Sheet music for the title song from the Fleischer Studios animated short Poor Cinderella a 1934 Paramount production starring Betty Boop. Directed by Dave Fleischer and produced by Max Fleischer the film was issued as part of the studio’s Color Classics series and is notable as the only Betty Boop cartoon originally produced in color during the Fleischer studio’s classic run. The cover illustration shows Betty in her ragged Cinderella costume before a mirror the fairy godmother’s wand transforming her reflection into a princess an image that captures both the Depression-era fairy-tale theme and the character’s Jazz Age style.<br /> <br /> Although the cartoon itself contains no explicitly Black performers the cultural origins of Betty Boop’s voice and persona emerged from Harlem nightclub entertainment and became the subject of a widely publicized 1934 lawsuit involving singer Helen Kane and the African American child performer Esther Jones whose vocal style was introduced as evidence during the trial. Kane sued Fleischer Studios and Paramount claiming that Betty Boop’s distinctive “boop-oop-a-doop†singing style had been taken from her stage act. During the proceedings however theatrical manager Lou Bolton testified that the same vocal mannerism had been performed several years earlier by Jones in Harlem cabarets undermining Kane’s claim of originality. The court ultimately ruled against Kane.1<br /> <br /> Created in 1930 Betty Boop quickly evolved from an anthropomorphic cartoon figure into a humanized Jazz Age flapper and one of the earliest animated sex symbols. Early Fleischer cartoons frequently placed the character in adult urban settings: nightclubs stage performances and surreal jazz environments. The character’s exaggerated blend of innocence and sexuality wide-eyed baby face combined with flapper dress and nightclub mannerisms made Betty one of the most recognizable figures in early American animation. With the strict enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code in 1934 Betty Boop’s image was softened: skirts were lengthened risqué humor diminished and the once flirtatious character gradually recast into a more domesticated and wholesome figure. Issued by the prolific Tin Pan Alley publisher Leo Feist Inc. the sheet is a representative and surprisingly scarce item from this period. <br /> <br /> 1 Erin Blakemore “The People v.

193554115New York: Falstaff Press Inc. Privately Issued for Cultured Adults 1935. 8vo. 16 pp unpaginated. printed on sepia-tinted paper with numerous text illustrations printed in brown ink. Self-printed softcovers uncut very slight dustsoiling NF copy. First edition of this very rare pamphlet on birth control issued by the notorious mail-order erotica publisher Falstaff Press which specialized in republishing many of the Panurge anthropological titles including titles on sexuality sexual disorders birth control eugenics phallic worship scientific sexualia and flagellation. Most of these titles were written by some of the most significant anthropologists and sociologists working in the new and growing field of sexual sciences in the 1930s including Hirschfeld Reclus Niemoeller and Rohleder. Solomon Malkin was a young New York University scholar who had studied under Magnus Hirschfeld at the Institute for Sexual Science in Berlin and oversaw the choosing of illustrations and text for the birth control pamphlets. This work details the very unreliable “Rhythm Method†of contraception depending on the charting of menstrual cycles however notes that this is has only 50% effectiveness and should be combined with artificial birth control methods.

Maupas' paper: pp. 356-359. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this classic paper in whic Maupas determined that fertilization in protozoa is essential to the indefinite continuation of a cell strain. His discovery proved an importent stimulus to subsequent investigation not only upon protozoa but also in the area of parthenogenesis."He found in Paramecium that after generations of division the stock becomes infeebled. Ultimately the individuals die unless they meet partners for conjugation. When two such enfeebled individuals meet their bodies are approximated and they interchange nuclear elements. Next division takes place. The stock has regained its vigour. No differentiation of sexes is evident in the conjugatory process though such differentiation can be traced in other prorozoa."Singer "The Story of Living Tings" p. 531 ff.Thomas Hall "A Source Book in Animal Biology" pp. 458-60. </em> unknown
