[ILL-L] Can anyone help find this early tract?

You might check with some of the museums in New York City.  The Museum of
Sex and the Lower East Side Tenement Museum are two that pop into my mind as
likely candidates.

At the Oregon Historical Society there are a number of pamphlets that sound
similar to what you are asking for in the Oregon Social Hygiene Collection.
There were Hygiene Societies across the country in the early 20th Century
that were concerned with promoting health issues (primarily prevention of
syphilis) and combating what they called Social Evil (prostitution,
masturbation, smoking etc.). I don't think the Oregon collection goes back
quite to 1902, but perhaps a similar regional collection will. Given that
the publication is a tract and not a book, I wonder if your patron should be
looking in an archive instead of a special collection?

I am hoping against hope that someone may have this early 20th century tract
in their collections-perhaps in a rare book collection?

I say rare book because the one web reference I have found provides a
listing of the item in a catalog of Early American popular medical books.
That catalog is apparently the listing of items in the Edward C Atwater
collection at the University of Rochester which is the one holding in World
cat referred to below

 

The title is Regulation reviewed: reasons against state sanction of social
evil and the corporate author is the American Purity Alliance

The date is 1902?  It's a tract against the idea of regulating prostitution.

 

 

The Worldcat record is 20690117 and the one holding institution no longer
has the item.

 

It is only 16 pages according to the Worldcat record 

 

We would be interested in knowing if anyone owns this whether or not you are
willing to lend or copy since our patron may be interested in viewing on
site

 

I

 

Thanks
