Description:
N.p.: [Washington, D.C.: by the Author, 1917], 1917. Octavo. Staple-bound wrappers; [3]pp. Offprint. Wrapper edges soiled and briefly chipped along upper margin; perforations for binding at bound edge; Very Good. Brief but quite sophisticated discussion of the issue of race eugenics and whether the "professional class" of Negroes would be self-sustaining through its own reproductivity;" Miller's preliminary conclusion is that "the upper class is headed towards extinction, unless reinforced from the fruitful mass below." Kelly Miller (1863-1939) was the first African American to receive graduate education in Mathematics (Johns Hopkins, 1887-89); he later founded the Department of Sociology at Howard University, where he taught until 1934. Though less widely-known today than his more famous contemporaries Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois, Miller was arguably the most influential Black intellectual of his era, a prolific, articulate, and widely-published advocate for Negro education and civil… Read More

Description:
Paris: P.-V. Stock, 1902. First Edition. 12mo (18cm.); contemporary green morocco-backed marbled boards, gilt spine in five compartments, original wrappers bound in; [6],484pp. Boards very slightly rubbed, spine leather almost entirely toned to brown, else a Very Good to Near Fine copy. At head of title: "Bibliothèque des Recherches Sociales - No. 7." Eugenicist utopian treatise by a leader of the French Socialist party and law professor at the Collège des Sciences Sociales. Based in part on Paolo Mantegazza's L'Anno 3000 (1897), Tarbouriech's proposal included the sterilization of degenerates, mandatory reporting of pregnancy, and state support in the rearing of unwanted children. The work failed to attract a following in part due to is overly authoritarian tone and "excessively harsh" propositions (William H. Schneir, "Quality and Quantity" (2002), p. 58), though it should be noted in sweetening the deal that the author also described a society in which "Men and women will share on equal… Read More

Description:
Oneida, NY: Office of Oneida Circular, 1872. First Thus. Second edition. Octavo (23cm). In printed blue paper wraps; 24pp; list of other Oneida publications to rear wrapper. Gently rubbed, staining to wrappers and first two leaves, else Very Good. 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, a much revised edition that is effectively a different work from the original of 1866, 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 shorter 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… Read More

Description:
[n.p.]: [Oneida Community], 1866. First Edition. First printing. Pamphlet, 4pp. Gently rubbed, lightly toned at edges, with moderate water damage and mildew damage: Good only. 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. This pamphlet explains the practice in some detail, in the form of a letter to Noyes and his response. Reprints that appeared after this 1866 edition extended the text, but censored the second half of the title. WELLS (The Oneida Community Collection in the Syracuse University Library) p.12. DARE (American Communes to 1860) 1485. LBRB possesses the remainder of this title--only a handful of copies. With only a dozen recorded in OCLC, this edition remains genuinely uncommon.
