Quennell, Peter. "Introduction" to John Cleland's Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure. New York, Putnam's, 1963, pp. v-xiv. Q4 §
Since first published in the middle of the eighteenth century, John Cleland's erotic work, better known as Fanny Hill, has been both widely read and frequently suppressed. This introduction discusses the history and literary qualities of the publication. A note on the American History of the work (pp. xv-xxviii) includes reference to the case of Peter Holmes, Commonwealth v. Holmes, 17 Mass. 336 (1821), indicted for sale of Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure. This is generally believed to be the first recorded American case of suppression of a literary work on grounds of obscenity. The note closes with a report of the freeing of the Putnam edition by the New York, Supreme Court, with Justice Arthur Klein's opinion printed in full. A bibliographical record of Fanny Hill, taken largely from Pisanus Fraxi's Catena Librorum Tacendorum, is printed as an appendix.

A group of articles attacking literary censorship, particularly critical of the efforts of Justice Ford and the Clean Books League. Theodore Dreiser, in Why Attack Books, accuses women of being "responsible for this censorship talk" and for not raising the intellectual level of the nation. H. W. Boynton, in Native Versus Alien Standards, states that public taste and tolerance shape literature along racial and natural lines and that nothing is to be gained by official censorship but publicity for the banned book. Horace B. Liveright, in The Absurdity of Censorship, states that only the highest type of intellectual is capable of judicious censorship and such a person will not accept the assignment. Various points of view are given in letters to the editor on page 258. The Liveright article is reprinted in Beman, Censorship of Speech and the Press, pp. 470-73.
