Waddy Frank Vincent; Shipley Maynard; Branigan Frank et al.
Notes on Cases of Sexual Suppression. Little Blue Book No. 1638
Girard KS: Haldeman-Julius 1931. Wraps. Good. Blue wraps. 32 pp. A collection of short pieces on sex and morality including a look at the psychological impact of suppressing the sexual impulses based on two case studies of woman and with a seeming stereotypical view of women by Frank Waddy. Also present is a short piece by freethinker Maynard Shipley in which he seems to advocate the sterilization of some people including those whose genetics may dispose their offspring to blindness or deafness. Shipley takes a dismissive tone to those opposing that view and subtly endorses the eugenics movement. Frank Branigan tackles the subject of vice focusing on Newark New Jersey and its hypocrisy: he cites the very low rate of white prostitutes in the city but notes the media and politicians do not mention the high rate of African-American prostitution in the city as well as the fact that whites are the primary patrons of the African-American prostitutes. GOOD condition. Heavy fading and browning. Haldeman-Julius unknown

Stated second edition with an added note not issued in the first edition being a statement from Judge John Pitman to Reverend Wayland. Pamphlet lacking any wrappers issued. 32 pp. A work reflecting on the events surrounding the then very recent Dorr's Rebellion Rhode Island recalling through allusion and in some detail the basic events of the rebellion taking a slight "Charterite" stance against Dorr and his actions although advocating for the enhanced voting rights sought after by Dorr and his supporters. Wayland alludes to the misfired cannon the non-attack on the Providence Arsenal as well as Dorr supporters from other states while also asserting that God was on the side of good in ending the insurrection. Dorr's Rebellion arose out of disenfranchisement incorporated into the original constitution that allowed only property owners to vote thereby giving rural citizens more power over the rising population of those in the cities. GOOD condition. Slightly ex-library with a few markings to the title page. Faint fold crease present. Minor toning offsetting and foxing. Light soiling. Some wrinkling. B. Cranston and Co. and H.H.
