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

Fri Jun 13 18:59:37 EDT 2008

Thanks to all who have provided very good suggestions for my hunt for
the tract from the American Purity Alliance

I apologize for neglecting to mention that I had also taken a trip down
ILL memory lane and used the NUC Pre'56 to look up this item-but to no
avail for this specific item. However, I am always glad to have my
searches confirmed.  

I will confer with the patron regarding all the good suggestions

Janet

NUC Pre-1956 is located, helpfully, just outside our office and, after
blowing off the dust, I had a look by both corporate author and by
title. No luck. There are several entries for American Purity Alliance,
and the Library of Congress appears to hold things like their annual
report and periodical publications, if that's any help.

Janet,

I wonder if the pre-1956 Library of Congress volumes might contain
additional holders of the  pamphlet?

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
