17875031London: Charles Eyre & Andrew Strahan 1787. First edition. 27 George III Chapter 44. A Fine copy measuring 310 x 190mm and collating complete: 2 987-988. A scarce and important piece of legal history which ESTC records at only one library Lincoln's Inn and which does not appear in the modern auction record. The present is the only example on the market. <br /> <br /> At the start of the Restoration "English church courts were revived by an act of Parliament on 27 July 1661 to resume their traditional task of correcting spiritual and moral misdemeanors. Soon thereafter parishioners across England's dioceses once more faced admonition fines excommunication and even imprisonment if they failed to conform to the laws of the restored Church of England" Aklund. As much as these courts sought to reestablish a monolithic Anglican communal identity during Charles II's reign their position in the 18th century became "a case study in the secularization of the legal system" particularly given their theoretical justification based in the problematic concept of divine right Harris. Numerous acts the present example among them "represented an important step in the direction of limiting the reach of of ecclesiastical jurisdiction" Harris. <br /> <br /> An Act to Prevent Frivolous and Vexatious Suits in Ecclesiastical Courts was passed in 1787 drawn from a bill presented in Parliament the previous year. Its major accomplishment was the removal of Church authority in the regulation of private sexual behaviors: "It shall be further enacted by the Authority aforesaid That no Suit shall be commenced in any Ecclesiastical Court for Fornication or Incontinence of for any striking or brawling." While the Church may have voiced its moral codes or enacted social shaming within its own communities it no longer had the legal authority to regulate or punish sexual behavior. Such secularization had significant benefits across a number of communities. For survivors of assault it ended the Church's ability to mandate that a woman marry her attacker; for queer communities it prevented Biblically based persecution; for sex workers it took away the risk of arrest or fines for conducting their livelihoods. Ultimately the jurisdiction of ecclesiastical courts over sexual behavior whether in the form of obscene or defamatory words sexual engagement and sensual pleasure was terminated by this act. Little to no legal regulation of sex would be enacted until the next century when the 1861 Offences Against the Person Act and a series of Contagious Diseases Acts would seek to give secular courts more control over individuals' bodies. <br /> <br /> ESTC N58717.

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. SMITH H-442. Not in Bleiler despite clear fantasy content. O. M. Heath & Co unknown

Sánchez "depicted human nature as strongly sexualized and proclaimed that a wide range of sexual pleasures could be enjoyed in marriage without being tainted by mortal sin" Watt. The Church disagreed with his permissive stance on some activities and caused some passages to be expurgated in 1610. Later in 1666 and 1679 multiple Popes placed the third volume on the Index of Prohibited Books. Nonetheless the work was frequently reprinted from its first appearance in 1602-1605 until this 1754 edition. <br /> <br /> Sánchez whose other well-known work discussed lying and mental reservation is also recognized as "one of the greatest casuists" FRAXI i.e. Ashbee Bibliography of Prohibited Books II p.81.

19821913<p>First Edition. 72 pp. illustrated program book for an event officially known as The Scholar and the Feminist : Toward a Politics of Sexuality held on Saturday April 24 1982 at The Women's Center now the Barnard Center for Research on Women. 8vo. Very good. Illus. Glossy wrappers slightly creased. 1772</p><p><em>A landmark document of the so-called "feminist sex wars" of the 1980s most copies of this conference program were preemptively seized and destroyed by Barnard College officials under pressure from activists associated with Women Against Pornography WAP. The episode remains a hotspot of conflicting allegations and rumor. Leading up to the date of the conference Ellen V. Futter then President of Barnard College became the focal point of an anti-pornography phone call campaign by WAP members and their allies. In response to the calls College officials confiscated 1500 copies of the Diary hours before the event was scheduled to begin. The booklet which had been intended for distribution to conference attendees consists of steering committee minutes personal narratives information about conference events and sex-positive artwork by feminist illustrators including erotic images that had provoked the ire of anti-pornography crusaders. Examples rarely surface.</em></p> [Barnard College Women's Center]
