Future utopia by this eccentric Ohio physician and philosopher whose mostly self-published works ranged from Lost Race fiction to straightforward medical treatises including The Epitome of Ambulent Proctology 1925 and Office Practice for the General Practician 1934. In the current work Blanchard writing in the voice of a woman librarian looking back from 22nd century America envisions a future world made perfect through collectivization land reform the emancipation of women and - sigh - as in so many technological utopias of the period Eugenics: ".Can you imagine a greater folly than asylums and prisons.making more and more criminals more unfits and misfits being born each year then burdening society with their care and support When Altruism gained power we blotted out those hopelessly unfit to live.we removed the cause of crime and purged the nation of its defective taint." Such "blotting out" was a common dream among a certain class of pre-war scientists and physicians turned into a horrifying reality by the Third Reich. An uncommon work especially so in the dust jacket which is rarely seen. HANNA 362. NEGLEY 116. SARGENT p.98. Medical Success Press unknown books
1913réf. 85169Chicago: 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. 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. 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. 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.

1958réf. 3732451958. Single unlined 8-1/2 x 11 inch leaf holograph text in blue ink recto and verso; old fold lines with small tear and crease to one edge; in franked autograph envelope with light toning and wear. A punchy humorous letter to Sybil Landeau while she was still an undergraduate student at Hunter College the school Audre Lorde was also attending at the time. Her friend Eugenia begins by apologizing for her "bad French" stating that since she was "on the verge of leaving New Orleans I wanted to make it really abstruse and delay comprehension until I arrived in S.F. which would make me in two places at once" After offering to contact any friends of Landeau's in San Francisco she then writes "What are your present interests aside from Opera exams and Audre Lorde" While it is unknown exactly when the friendship between between Landeau - a passionate opera fan and future lawyer - and Lorde became intimate this letter provides perhaps the first indication that Landeau's feelings toward Lorde had begun to evolve into something far more personal. Their resulting affair continued into their graduate years at Columbia University and though it ended at some point during the 1960s both women carried on working together for civil and gay rights and their friendship endured until Lorde's untimely 1992 death. An important letter in the biography of Audre Lorde sent to one of her earliest girlfriends. unknown books
