Misc. Quotes

“It is a source of forbidden pleasure to see that which is not permitted to be seen."

“Openly or secretly, they enjoy seeing anything which they have been taught to believe is indecent."

“It was better than the burlesque because this was private -- it was not a public nudity display and I was watching something forbidden!"

“If the child finds that, simultaneous with the inescapable sex play of children and the inevitable sex urges of physical growth, he is constantly impressed by stern and intolerant parents that sex is unclean and a "filthy" habit; that, if the parents are frenetically and puritanically religious, he will suffer eternal damnation if he indulges in such activity -- then the child will grow into maturity as a victim of a severe conflict between his natural sex urges and the moral prohibitions fostered by such parental training. Therefore, the voyeur indulges in a compromise between ignoring sex completely, and actually engaging in sexual intercourse."

Rev. Byrd's Book Review

"The Bizarre World of the Peeping Tom" (cited edition) by Judson Riordan is among the rarest titles found in the bibliography. But it's not impossible to track down, as of this review it seems to range between $60 to $100. Even the author is elusive, the only information I've been able to cull on him from the internet being that of only two books, both published in 1967, including "Hypnosis And Sexual Pleasure" and our featured title. Another interesting note is that the book is listed simply as "Peeping Tom" in The Compleat Witch's bibliography, its cover has the title "The Bizarre World of the Peeping Tom," while its title page has the title, "Peeping Tom: A Medico-legal Study of the Voyeur."

The book itself reads like a psychological textbook trapped inside a sleazy paperback novel. Interesting case studies, sound theories for the most part, although some of the views on drugs and homosexuality are painfully dated. The obvious Satanic connection here is in the cultivation of the Law of the Forbidden, particularly with quotes like "It is a source of forbidden pleasure to see that which is not permitted to be seen" and "It was better than the burlesque because this was private -- it was not a public nudity display and I was watching something forbidden!"

"Peeping Tom" also has an interesting little bibliography of its own, featuring an assortment of now-vintage psychological sex books, including a couple also found within the bibliography of The Compleat Witch.

This, the most authoritative and comprehensive body of information about witchcraft and demonology ever compiles in a single volume, was written by an outstanding scholar who spent years accumulating material from the great libraries of the world. Here is a full-scale compendium of fact, history and legend about every phase of this fascinating subject from its origins in medieval times to its last eruptions in the eighteenth century. Included are articles about witches’ sabbat and pact, night flight and metamorphosis, incubi and succubi, verbatim report of trials, werewolves and vampires, devils, demoniacal possession and exorcism, poltergeists, the classical demonologists, the Inquisition, how and why witches are accused, barbarous tortures, and accounts of the major witches’ trials of Europe and New England. Accompanying the text are 250 illustrations, many published here for the first time, from rare books, contemporary prints and old manuscripts.

(From the 1981 Bonanza edition:)

First published in 1959, this is still the most authoritative and comprehensive body of information about witchcraft and demonology ever compiled in a single volume. It has been lavishly acclaimed in academic and popular reviews: "This prodigy of scholarship betrays the bloody fingerprint of truth on every page" (London Spectator); "outstripping current crime stories and whodunit fiction for blood curdling, gory details and sheer suspense reading" (Springfield Republican); "a prodigious and brilliant production" (Renaissance News); "the rare encyclopedia that one could read with continuous pleasure... a brilliant job" (Washington, D.C. News). It is listed as the standard reference in the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Misc. Quotes

“One of history’s ironies is the justification of witchcraft on biblical texts, written originally for a religion which had no devil. Catholics and Protestants quoted Exodus xxii. 18, ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.’ But the Hebrew word kaskagh (occurring twelve times in the Old Testament with various meanings) here means, as Reginald Scot pointed out in 1584, ‘poisoner,’ and certainly had nothing to do with the highly sophisticated Christian conception of a witch. Yet the domination of Holy Scriptures was such that these mistranslations fostered the delusion.” - Bible Witchcraft, page 46

“Every witches’ sabbat was supposed to include a diabolical service, but the ‘black mass’ as such is not found in any contemporary account of witchcraft, and the term became current only at the end of the nineteenth century in connection with Satanism (first used in English in 1896). No matter how titillating, all accounts of black masses (with one exception) must be dismissed as unfounded speculation.” - Black Mass, page 50

“Devil’s marks [stigmata diaboli] or the devil’s seal [sigillum diaboli] occur in nearly all reports of witches or witch trials and illustrate how perverted intelligence and hysterical stupidity could misinterpret natural phenomena and so bring about the murder of thousands of men and women and children.” - Devil's Mark, page 135

“Unlike witchcraft, a Christian aberration restricted to western Europe, possession and exorcism are universal, common to all religions and beliefs at all times and places.” - Exorcism, page 180

“There was no such thing as Jewish witchcraft. Witchcraft was a blasphemous parody of Christianity with relevance only to Christians.” - Jewish Witchcraft, page 281

“The pact with the Devil was the essence of witchcraft. ... Take out the pact, and the witchcraft heresy disappears.” - Pact with the Devil, pages 369-370

“Gilles de Laval, Baron de Rais (1404-40), belongs more to the history of alchemy and magic than witchcraft, for he invoked devils to learn how to make gold. It was charged ‘he adored and sacrificed to spirits, and by their means to have and receive, if he could, knowledge, power, and riches.’ For this, he was executed. His notoriety, however, rests largely on his alleged sexual perversions.” - Rais, Gilles de, page 403

“Theologians and demonologists were puzzled as to how demons, who were spirits, could have relations with humans. The fact itself was accepted, for it had the authority of the Bible and Church behind it.” - Sexual Relations with Devils, page 461

Misc. Quotes

"The market value of feminine comeliness has always been high, but the nature of the market changes from generation to generation as the standards of propriety and desirability change. In the early years of the century a woman could put her beauty on the marriage market, but she could hardly exhibit herself publicly for pay without losing her reputation, especially if the exhibition could be classified as exposure."

"It is a sign of our times that glamor is now generally advertised as attainable by all American women, and as very easy to come by - you buy it in a jar. Few manufacturers feel today that to sell their products they must make women identify themselves mentally with the wealthy or socially elect. The snob appeal has become less potent than the appeal of glamor arrived at through purchase of the right products and through careful schooling in their appropriate use. Anybody can have it, whatever her background, for a little money and some effort. Glamor has been democratized."

"The theatre, like literature, has long provided an opportunity for women of talent to distinguish themselves, and theatrical history is studded with the names of brilliant feminine stars. Although the profession as a whole was eyed askance by the ultra respectable, well into the nineteen hundreds, there have always been actresses of unimpeachable personal dignity."

Misc. Quotes

The ancients, being much more interested in the broad questions of human conduct than in race, had a favorite problem of discussion which ran something like this: If a man who had never seen another human being were to meet with one suddenly in the woods would he fight him or make friends with him? The idea was to determine whether human beings were inherently friendly to one another - whether war was natural to mankind.

The old philosophers were never able to solve that question. There was no way of getting at the facts. However, in this day when war and race occupy the centre of the world stage, a similar question could be put and with more profit, namely: Were two men of different races, say a white and a black, to meet suddenly for the first time and alone would they fight or make friends?

[...] 'Race' has become mankind's supreme calamity; the greatest agent of slaughter the world has ever seen.

One writer has called it a Frankenstein monster. But that comparison is too feeble. However, it has this point of resemblance: Frankenstein's monster was built from scraps - scraps of corpses, a hand from this one, an eye from that, a patch of skin from this other. The evil genie of race is also created from scraps - scraps of false philosophies of past centuries; a quotation from this or that prejudiced traveller; lines from this and that semi-ignorant divine of colonial days; excerpts from Gobineau, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, the Bible; passages from this or that badly mixed-up ethnologist, all jumbled together with catch-phrases from greedy plantation owners, slave-dealers, and other traffickers in human flesh.

A Razor For A Goat

A Discussion Of Certain Problems In The History Of Witchcraft And Diabolism

This book is concerned with one aspect of the history of witchcraft - the idea that witchcraft is a religion rather than a trade, whether this religion is a form of pagan survival or a depraved Christian (or anti-Christian) heresy. This idea was widespread in the days when society was most afraid of witchcraft and was a prominent feature in witch-hunting propaganda. Similar theories are current today, and they have been more widely accepted as products of scholarly research than they deserve. Competent historians may deride books which perpetuate these theories, but they still receive respect from highly educated people in other fields. A Razor For A Goat began with the wish to do something to right the record.

The author has made some suggestions about the reality behind popular beliefs about witchcraft societies and Sabbats. He has surveyed witch-scares, fairy folklore, "ritual" deaths, the Canon Episcopi, goliards - all part of the evidence for witchcraft. To the goat, symbolic of the Devil worshipped by witches, he has applied Occam's razor - the economy of hypotheses.

This unusual book will interest those who have already made some study of the subject but will also intrigue the educated non-specialist, including scholars other than historians. Closely reasoned, it is also written with a rare wit, which makes it difficult to put down.

Elliot Rose was born and educated in England. He was a scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge, where he read history. For the past six years he has been a lecturer in the Department of History in the University of Toronto. He is co-author of The Modern Era.

Back Cover Copy

(from the 2003 University of Toronto Press edition)

"This model historical monograph is an analysis of witchcraft in the western European culture complex from the ninth to the eighteenth centuries . . . Mr. Rose carefully examines all the pertinent documents and ends up shattering most of the positions held by the various schools of witchcraft theory . . . His 'no nonsense' approach coupled with the background knowledge he possesses enables him to get at the core of a problem without sacrificing sound historical data. His sketchings of either broad or specific historical events are marvels of historical writings . . . The reader will be grateful that the author's sense of humor never leaves him; this definitely spices the taste of an already well wrought historical piece."

Leonard Dosh, Catholic Historical Review

"With an amazing knowledge of his subject (and also of related matters, e.g. mythology and Jungian psychology) the author here discusses witchcraft and diabolism in a way that arouses admiration for his exact and critical aptitude. The central theme is the historical origins (and, as a sidetrack, the psychological functions) of some forms of witchcraft. The question whether these should be regarded as survivals of the ancient pagan cults, or whether they should be supposed to be linked to Christendom as heresy, is given extensive treatment."

International Review of Social History

"An excellent survey treatment of the history of witchcraft and the literature about it."

Arthur Freeman, Western Folklore

Misc. Quotes

"Accusations of practicing a secret degraded religion seem to go together with accusations of excessive and malignant power [...] Such charges are easily made when a scapegoat is needed; and a scapegoat may serve two purposes. He may satisfy an inarticulate desire for vengeance against Fate or the Government, with luck diverting vengeance from where it properly belongs; or he may be made to carry away absolutely fabricated guilt in order to get him out of the way."

Every facet of the sleep story... for each age group... any member of either sex... endomorph, mesomorph, ectomorph... egghead... slugabed... insomniac... aesthete... athlete... student of the supernatural... and the vast mass of those who secretly believe that anything you can't do in bed probably isn't worth doing at all.

An investigation of every theory from the pathological one that sleep occurs when the system is poisoned by toxic substances to the theological contention (Psalms CXXVII) that sleep is simply God's gift to His beloved... An exploration of the staggering importance of sleep and sleep's effect on brain and body... A man may go 40 days without solid food, seven days of longer without food or water, but five days is the maximum he may live without sleep.

The book is thoroughly researched and authoritative, but written with a light touch instead of the usual heavy hand and fearsome footnotes.

The potential audience for this book is enormous. A survey made by The American Institute of Public Opinion indicates that more than 50% of our entire populace has a sleep problem of one sort of another. Psychologies, pathologists, pedagogues, and mattress-makers are all prying into the how, when, where, and why of our unconscious hours... and not all of these efforts are completely altruistic.

(continued from back panel)

The plain truth is that tossers-and-turners spend a pile of money in pursuit of Morpheus. The imaginary Sandman of our youth has mushroomed into a multi-million dollar industry. It's my contention that anybody who'll buy an oscillating bed and sleep-provoking incense sticks can probably be talked into a book as well.

Though unaccredited medically, clinically, or by a Bedstead Baron, I consider myself a fully equipped expect... an authority who has qualified by spending almost 100,000 hours in sleep or search for same. I have been comatose in 35 states and 22 countries... on everything from an earthen floor to a pallet of pressed rose petals... with swinging hammocks, splintered spruce boughs, soggy sleeping bags and super-aerated, permanently perfumed, whipped foam between those extremes. I've met the back-scratcher who is under exclusive contract to an oil tycoon, and I've been chastised by a Chinese friend for awakening her so suddenly that her soul was nearly scared clean our of her skin.

My own sleep pattern has baffled the best brains. Occasionally I'll siesta for 18 hours at a stretch... or three hours a night for days on end. During the last ten years many of my newspaper deadlines have been made with the aid of acute insomnia. Several really good sieges have accounted for my previously published books.

Misc. Quotes

"The arguments are still substantially the same; with allowances for individual kinks and historical quirks, the dreams are too. If I study an old drawing of Dante's Inferno, I can spot my own little demons sprawled all over the scene. When scholars decipher a dead language, they inevitably turn up an accurate description of a dream I enjoyed just last night. The testimony of dreams supplies ample evidence that human nature hasn't changed one whit since the world began. Inherent appetites have always struggled against imposed mores, and the wise men of each era have ever scoffed at each other's ideas."

Misc. Quotes

"Whether an act is deviant... depends on how other people react to it. You can commit clan incest and suffer from no more than gossip as long as no one makes a public accusation; but you will be driven to your death if the accusation is made. The point is that the response of other people has to be regarded as problematic. Just because one has committed an infraction of a rule does not mean that others will respond as though this had happened. (Conversely, just because one has not violated a rule does not mean that he may not be treated, in some circumstances, as though he had.)"

- From Howard S. Becker's essay, "On Labeling Outsiders", from the first chapter of Deviance/The Interactionist Perspective, "The Process Of Social Typing."

"An unusually sane, sensible, and scholarly treatise on verbal obscenity. This book should be required reading for those who keep needlessly upsetting themselves when they encounter so-called dirty language."

—Albert Ellis, Ph.D.

Author of Sex Without Guilt, The American Sexual Tragedy, and other works

"It seems to me that this work is a valuable contribution to the field of language taboos, both from the linguistic and the sociological viewpoint. It explores not merely words and their origin, but also the individual and collective mental attitudes that underlie these words, their use and their prohibition. Above all, Edward Sagarin's attitude toward the problem is a Allman and humane one. He voices a plea, not for the indiscriminate use of words which are regarded as being on an obscene and objectionable level, but for a revision in the frame of mind underlying the popular concept in which those ,words are held, along with the activities of which they are a linguistic token.
"Whether or not his view is accepted by society as at present constituted, he has at least had the courage to face the problem and give it a frank and fearless discussion."

Inside Flap Copy

(from cited edition, second printing, 1968)

The forbidden words of the English language, once unmentionable, unspeakable, unprintable, have in recent years become mentioned with considerable frequency, spoken with utter abandon, and have even found their way into the world of print. But just what is the significance of the widespread use of these words? Is this a sign of the relaxation of the once rigid and puritanical attitudes toward sex and other biological functions?

In a penetrating analysis, Edward Sagarin examines the manner in which dirty words are used in the English language, and with irrefutable evidence and numerous examples he shows how all obscene words are today being used in two entirely different ways. First there is the literal meaning: biological, pertaining to sex, excretion, and the body; second, there are the figurative meanings, that always carry a negative connotation.

How is it, the author asks, that the most common words to describe sexual union also signify that a person has obtained a raw deal? How is it that an individual is so clearly insulted if he is equated with the male sexual organ? How is it that, in dirty words, to be filled with feces also means to be a liar, or that an expletive of dismay is appropriated from the synonym for testicles?

With scholarship and wit, the author presents the evidence of this dual usage of forbidden words and shows, its significance for modern society. He utilizes, on the one hand, material which he gathered from observation, from listening, and from discussions with young people and old from many economic and social areas; and on the other, he has delved into the literature of anthropology and linguistics, has examined unpublished manuscripts, and utilizes the most modern theory of the relationship between language and social reality.

To our knowledge, this is the first book-length study of obscene language that has ever been written; one that the reader will not put down until he has finished, and one he will not forget for a long time thereafter.

Misc. Quotes

"The search for euphemy by modern man is evidently not satisfied by speaking of the bathroom when one means the toilet. Otherwise civilized men and women, almost as if they are mocking themselves (as indeed they may be doing), are now heard to say that they are going to the little boy's room or the little girl's room. Still others say: I have to see a man about a dog. To save us from this fate, there are men's rooms, ladies' rooms, washrooms, rest rooms, and powder rooms, and in England there are cloak rooms, all available for those who find the toilet too horrible to mention and who would rather die of constipation than go to the shithouse."

THE SCIENCE AND ART OF PERFUMERY

By EDWARD SAGARIN

The story of perfumes and odors is told in this book which includes the scientific, commercial, and popular details of the industry. The book covers the history of perfumery, the raw materials of the perfumer and the methods of their production, the art of perfumery, the relationship of odor to flavor, the commercial development of the odor business, the psychology of perfumes and the role of perfumery in the life of man.

Telling the entire story of odor, this book is intended chiefly for the chemist synthesizing odorous chemicals, who is seeking information on the history of perfumery; for the perfumer, who wishes to read the story of aromatic chemicals; for the salesman, purchasing agent, executive, or clerk in the odor business. In the historical treatment of perfumery, scientific advances of the most recent mature are treated in detail. The book includes data on the development of the musk from the Louisiana muskrat, the most recent proposals on odor language and measurement, and bibliography references up to 1945.

THE SCIENCE AND ART OF PERFUMERY gives the reader a cross-section view of the entire industry. It sketches its historical background, explains its scientific development, and correlates the industry with the life, the work, and the aspirations of man.

Misc. Quotes

"The imagination of man is intrigued by the idea that animal materials are used in perfumery. And the layman is even more astonished to learn that these products, some of which are revoltingly malodorous, are necessary to give fixative qualities to most good perfumes."

"A perfume is a symphony. To express a single emotion, no two composers, no two perfumers, would arrive at the same conclusion. The odor symphony must have harmony, unity, originality. It must evoke something in the heart of every man who has the sensory power of perception and the aesthetic power of evaluation. To each recipient of its message it will have a different meaning, but if it is a great creation, it will stir the soul to its very being, and will attain deserved immortality."

THE USES OF INEPTITUDE
or/How Not To Want To Do Better

by NICHOLAS SAMSTAG

When the first chapter of this book was featured in the Saturday Review under the title "Surcease for Caesars," it produced a spate of enthusiastic letters. Apparently people agreed with the author: they indeed ardently wished not to want to do better at many things so they could, instead, become perfectly smashing at one thing. And the reader may well discover that he, too, is tired of serving indiscriminate ambition and, like the man on the horns of a dilemma, riding off in all directions at once.

But breaking the pattern is not easy. As the author points out, all the forces of society, spousery and self-delusion conspire to keep him in bondage.

In The Uses of Ineptitude, Nicholas Samstag examines some important and sensitive areas in which the passion to do better may have paled. He describes in detail how to recognize and fan the spark of rebellion, how to stop treadmilling away at things you don't really want to do and start relaxing creatively among the things you do want to do. He writes with wit, wisdom and sometimes terrifying frankness No holds are barred; no cows are sacred here. For many this book will be a revelation. For some revolution. For others a sort of litmus paper with which to test the relative acidity of their lives.

Misc. Quotes

"He vows that from now on, he will accept himself with all his faults, or at least with most of them. At any rate, he is not going to spend as many hours or as much vitality in remorse or prayer or good works to alleviate the pangs of conscience as has been his habit. He determines to disregard the disapproval of family, friends and the community while he moves aheads on his new course, to all appearances sans conscience, sans prayer, sans Freud, sans everything."

“Consider what you would do with some of the many hours and a share of the energy that you now squander on people who contribute little or nothing to your income or happiness or development as a human being.”

“The wonder is not that so many people have sick or battered souls, but that they think they have souls at all.”

Misc. Quotes

"If the Venus de Milo were to walk the streets today, she would very likely be ignored by the girl-watchers. For her measurements were 48-37-41!

SUPERIOR SEXUALITY

Yet two psychologists, Drs. Howard Osofsky and Seymour Fisher, recently announced that greater sexual response in women was 'positively correlated' with a positive attitude toward eating. [...]

Not that lean people cannot be wonderful lovers, too. But only if they are naturally lean. If their thinness is a result of the American diet-sickness, then their attitude toward sex will usually be somewhat disturbed, just as their attitude toward food must be."

William Seabrook addresses this book to rational people only. It consists of the candid adventures of a great reporter among living witches in the world today. It is one man's testimony to the existence and the limitations of witchcraft now. It is the lowdown on actual sorcery (Black Magic and White Magic too) by one who confesses not merely to have witnessed the stuff, but to have been a practitioner himself, for both good and evil.

In his earlier great books of travel and adventure, Seabrook left many questions concerning witchcraft wide open, and suppressed many episodes because their treatment would have seemed out of place. But these things cannot stay suppressed: the dirty doings of modern witches, white and black; the current sorcerers, incantations, human vampires on the Riviera; panther men in Africa and Satanists in Paris; Devil worshipers in New York; werewolves in Washington Square -- take these things how you will, there are observed experiences which remain intractable, and there are stories which, for fascination and for candor, beat anything that you have ever read.

WILLIAM SEABROOK

William Seabrook was born in 1886 in Westminster, Maryland. After receiving his education in southern universities and spending a year on the Augusta Chronicle, his restless spirit led him to Switzerland, where for nine months he worked his way through the University of Geneva studying philosophy and metaphysics. The next year and and a half he spent wandering about Europe, before he returned to Atlanta and entered the advertising business. After the war, at the encouragement of H. L. Mencken, he began to write. His books won him a firm place in the literature not only of America, but of England, France, Germany, Spain, Sweden, and Italy. Mr. Seabrook died in 1945.

Misc. Quotes

"To poison the mind of an individual against some other individual is an easy, all-too-common practice - so common that the phrase describing it is familiar in all languages. 'His mind was poisoned against her.' Thus friendships, loves, and family ties are broken. Thus Othello, his mind poisoned by Iago, murders Desdemona."

"In the male the 4 1 5 is one of the weakling somatotypes, and so obviously or conspicuously so that other youngsters usually treat him with a certain deference or neutrality which at one stage in their development they typically reserve for girls. This is not a somatotype that is 'picked on,' except perhaps occasionally by other weaklings who are not quite so weak."

This is the most extreme of the microsplanchnic physiques. The trunk is excessively flat, and is relatively narrow and relatively short. In the first region (head), we find a small, hypoplastic face, fragile features, and the moderately long, extremely slender neck. Both face and cranium are of variable shape in the 117. The cranium is occasionally of fairly large size, but the face is always small. The nose is usually both slender and short. The jaw is weak and receding. The upper trunk usually shows a sharp, high kyphotic curving of the vertebral column, with flat upper chest and marked lack of anteroposterior depth..."

Misc. Quotes

"V-4. Love of Eating. Love of food and a warm appreciation of the process of eating, for its own sake. Not to be confused with a mere voracious appetite. There is a deep joy in eating, and a considerable fuss and ceremony are made over eating. Usually there is a history of having overeaten and of having desired more food than was needed to maintain normal weight or growth. In a true motivational sense the individual lives, partially at least, to eat. Eating is one of the principal pleasure of life, if not indeed the greatest pleasure. Even when not eating, it is very pleasant to be doing something with the mouth - sucking or chewing. (Viscerotonic people are indefatigable kissers). If well educated, such a person usually has a deep interest in cuisine and a wide knowledge of foods and their preparation. At lower levels he tends merely to become a glutton."

A Pictorial History of Burlesque

(from the cited edition)

Here in lively text and a wealth of pictures is the history of burlesque from Aristophanes to Minsky. For all practical purposes, however, burlesque in America began with the leg show when Lydia Thompson and her British Blondes, all of whom wore tights, delightfully shocked New York audiences in the 1860's.

When it reached its peak in the early years of this century, burlesque was a composite entertainment that took its components from the minstrel show, variety, extravaganza, comedy "bits," and Extra Added Attractions like boxing bouts and the can-can. It owed its demise to Prohibition, the cinema, and the advent of short skirts when the sight of a woman's legs ceased to be a rarity.

Target for periodic attacks by press and public, burlesque fell into I'll repute with the inauguration of such refinements as the striptease, but Mr. Sobel maintains that it fulfilled a useful function for many years as the poor man's clubhouse when, for an amount within the means of almost anyone, men could escape from nagging wives and business worries. Not that the audience was confined to the poverty-stricken, for men from every class of society were constant, though often surreptitious, habitués. For many also it was the ideal school for a vicarious sowing of wild oats and for learning the facts of life by way of glamour and merriment.

The influence of burlesque can be clearly traced in the modern entertainment world. Many of today's stars of stage, screen, TV and night clubs owe their start to burlesque. Gypsy Rose Lee, Bobby Clark, Phil Silvers, Joe E. Brown, and Sophie Tucker first flaunted their wares in honky-Tonkin and burlesque olio; Eddie Cantor, W. C. Fields and Fanny Brice cut their teeth as comedians in the hurly-burly of wisecracking burlesque audiences.

THE AUTHOR
Bernard Sobel is the outstanding expert on American burlesque history. Variety states that his Burleycue, published in 1931, is "the only authoritative book on the subject." He has contributed to the Oxford Companion to the Stage, Collier's Encyclopedia, the Saturday Review, American Mercury, Theatre Arts, etc. His Theatre Handbook has been selling consistency for sixteen years. Mr. Sobel was for many years press agent for Florenz Ziegfeld, Earl Carroll, the Messrs. Shubert, M-G-M, Paramount, United Artists, etc.

"The various steps were known in succession as the 'flash' or entrance, the 'parade,' or the march across the stage in full costume; the 'tease,' or increasing removal of wearing apparel while the audience, lusting for bed and body, shouted, 'Take'em off. Take'em off. More. More"; and the climactic strip or denuding down to the G-string, followed by a speedy retreat into the obscuring draperies before the police could move in."

(from the Cited Edition)

This famous work is of the greatest psychological and historical importance. Written by two Dominican Inquisitors, Henry Kramer and James Sprenger, who were accredited by Pope Innocent VIII in his bull Summis desiderantes, 9 December 1484, its encyclopedic pages deal with every phase of witchcraft, and discuss in detail the most curious and even the most fantastic bypaths of this dark and esoteric cult. It is hardly too much to say that hence a score of demonologists, Jean Bodin, Boguet, Del Rio, Guazzo Mengo and the rest have largely drawn the material for their pages. The influence of the Malleus was unbounded, and again and again it is appealed to by Pontiff and King, Bishop and Judge, as supremely authoritative and complete. The first edition of this great and terrible book as published at Cologne in 1489, and there were at least four issues before the end of the century.

This is the first translation into English.

EDITION LIMITED TO 2,000 COPIES

Back Cover Copy

(from the Dover reprint)

For nearly three centuries Malleus Maleficarum (The Witches’ Hammer) was the professional manual for witch hunters. This work by two of the most famous Inquisitors of the age is still adocument of the force of that era’s beliefs. Under a Bull of Pope Innocent VIII, Kramer and Sprenger exposed theheresy of those who did not believe in witches and set forth the proper orderof the world with devils, witches, and the will of God. Even if you do not believe in witchcraft, theworld of 1484 did.

Contemporary cases illustrate methods by which witches attempt to control and subvert the world: how and why women roast theirfirst-born male child; the confession of how to raise a tempest by a wash woman suspended “hardly clear of the ground” by her thumbs; methods of making aformal pact with the Devil; how witches deprive men of their vital member; and many others. Methods of destroying andcuring witchcraft, such as remedies against incubus and succubus devils, are exemplified and weighed by the authors.

Formal rules for initiating a process of justice are set down: how is should be conducted and the method ofpronouncing sentence; when to use the trial by the red-hot iron; how the prosecutor should protect himself; how the body is to be shaved and searched for tokens and amulets, including those sewn under the skin. As Summers says, it was the casebook on every magistrate’s desk.

Montague Summers has given a very sympathetic translation. His two introductions are filled with examples of witchcraft and the historical importance of Malleus Maleficarum. This famous document should interest thehistorian, the student of witchcraft and the occult, and the psychologist whois interested in the medieval mind as it was confronted with various forceswhich could be explained only by witchcraft.

"QUESTION VI

Concerning Witches who copulate with Devils.

Why it is that Women are chiefly addicted to Evil Superstitions.

There is also, concerning witches who copulate with devils, much difficulty in considering the methods by which such abominations are consummated On the part of the devil: first, of what element the body is made that he assumes; secondly, whether the act is always accompanied by the injection of semen received from another; thirdly, as to time and place, whether he commits this act more frequently at one time than at another; fourthly, whether the act is invisible to any who may be standing by. And on the part of the women, it has to be inquired whether only they who were themselves conceived in this filthy manner are often visited by devils; or secondly, whether it is those who were offered to devils by midwives at the time of their birth; and thirdly, whether the actual venereal delectation of such is of a weaker sort."

(Interesting or pithy quotes from the book)

"Step by step, with the aid of questions and explanation, Tortsov led us to the conclusion that there are two kinds of truth and sense of belief in what you are doing. First, there is the one that is created automatically and on the plane of actual fact [...] and second, there is the scenic type, which is equally truthful but which originates on the plane of imaginative and artistic fiction."

(Interesting or pithy quotes from the book)

"Sexuality is an integrating component of the life concept. Just as all animal existence is linked to sex, so also does sex rule life's shape and course. Sex is at once the root and the crown of every higher form of life. Without it there can be no animal life and, concomitantly, life devoid of sex can be neither real nor complete."

WILHELM STEKEL, M.D.

Dr. Stekel, noted Viennese psychiatrist, was Director of Medicine at the University of Vienna for sixteen years. He was a close friend and one of the earliest pupils of Dr. Sigmund Freud, and later his assistant. He was editor of the first psychoanalytical periodical ever published, the Zentralblatt für Psychoanalyse, which he conducted with Dr. Freud and Dr. Adler, although eventually there developed differences of theory among the three men.

Dr. Stekel has long been recognized as one of the world's foremost authorities on psychoanalysis and psychotherapy. His books include Peculiarities of Behavior, Frigidity in Women, Impotence in the Male, Sexual Aberrations, Sadism and Masochism, A Primer for Mothers, Bi-Sexual Love, The Homosexual Neurosis, Technique of Analytical Psychotherapy, and many other basic writings. His works are recognized as authoritative and standard in the field of human behavior.

"The sale of this volume is restricted to the medical and legal professions, to ministers and educators, and to adult students of the psychological, biological and sociological sciences."

"The courts of our country have gone on record as sanctioning rational sex education. They did so in the Stopes case (United States District Court), as well as in the Dennett case (United States Circuit Court of Appeals). In the latter case Federal Judge Augustus N. Hand stated: 'The old theory that information about sex matters should be left to chance has greatly changed . . . It may reasonably be thought that accurate information, rather than mystery and curiosity, is better in the long run and is less likely to occasion lascivious thoughts, than ignorance and anxiety.'"

THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS
New Developments and Technique
by
WILHELM STEKEL, M.D.

Translated by Eden and Cedar Paul

This book, which treats of dreams from a rational rather than a superstitious viewpoint, will appeal to all those who want to know more about the mysteries of human motivations. From this study of dreams, following the new technique described by Dr. Stekel, we are able to draw sound conclusions as to the dreamer's character, the nature of his overcharged ideas, his hopes and disappointments, and his internal conflicts. For the dream is an infallible mirror of the mind.

This is a genuine contribution, and should be in the library of every psychologist, educator, physician, and clergyman.

"c. Olfactory

Less frequent are the cases in which the sense of smell reigns supreme. It is known that certain body odors cause erotic stimulation and may be conducive to normal intercourse. However, there are 'odor fiends' who chase a definite odor, become inebriated, and reach an orgasm from it. I have known men who relished certain perfumes, other who used scented handkerchiefs, men who masturbated while following heavily perfumed women on the street. Others are attracted by the smell of perspiration, or they crave the smell of a definite zone of the body. The smell of linen, underwear, worn apparel, and the like may also become sexual stimulations.

Case No. 35: Mr. T.N., forty-five, a physician, has had since early childhood a craving for the smell of old bedsheets in which elderly women have slept. As a physician, he has had occasionally an opportunity to put his head under a bedspread while ostensibly engaged in examining a patient. At such moments he has had an emission."

PETISHISM

"Another woman divorced her husband because of his love for a five foot boa constrictor. He insisted that his pet sleep in the bed with them, usually coiled around his body, and when his wife, who was afraid of the snake, protested, he abused her and sometimes even hit her. While he was at work, the boa rested in a large wicker basket with a closed top, but he would bring it with him to the dinner table, coiled around his neck and shoulders. When he began to feed the snake live mice while he and his wife were having dinner, she decided she had had enough. She was granted a divorce on the grounds of mental cruelty, and his only comment was: 'Good riddance.' He acquired another boa and is now impatiently waiting for them to produce children."

"Petishism," our mounting obsession with pet animals, has become, in all its many forms, an alarming social phenomenon. This book takes the lid off that phenomenon.

Pets as status symbols, pets as surrogate children, husband, you name it. Pets as a cause (and the expensively equipped humane societies that proliferate while people starve), pets over people, pets on their way to church, pets as heirs, pets at the opera, pets in analysis, pets at pet tea-parties. Pet cosmetics, birth control pills, horoscopes, pension and insurance plans, cook books, travel and hotel accommodations, greeting cards, jewelry, special clothes to match your own and funerals. The industry follows the trend and now grosses several billion dollars a year. A green and gold stucco home, complete with gold drinking fountain and red velvet cushions, for a pet dog.

This is a stunning, horrific book. Mrs. Szasz goes behind the specifics to find that no longer capable of loving one another, we have anthropomorphized our pet animals to such an incredible degree that many of us prefer pet relationship to those with human beings. She is all in favor of pets as long as they are loved for the animals they are, but she believes that the extravagance of our affection for undemanding pet animals is symptomatic of our anxiety, that we must be returned to the primary concern for other human beings if we are to survive. Her book must be read.

Born in Budapest, Kathleen Szasz has been known primarily for her translations from Hungarian, German, French, and Spanish. Her research for Petishism took her all over the United States and Europe, but she has lived in London or the past twelve years.

Misc. Quotes

(Interesting or pithy quotes from the book)

"The rejection of human beings and their replacement by pet animals can take several forms, depending on the conscious or unconscious causes of the rejection and the measure of 'hatred, disgust and contempt' experienced.

An extreme example was that of Adolf Hitler, who had millions of human beings murdered and countless of his own followers assassinated if he suspected them of treason, but was so attached to his dog, Blondie, that he would, even during the last weeks of the war, come out from his 'bunker' at the risk of his life to let Blondie run around in the fresh air for at least fifteen minutes each day. However, one does not have to be a mass-murderer to cause the destruction of one's fellows. An infinite number of ordinary people who expend all their positive emotions on animals contribute, by their hatred, contempt, or mere indifference, to the oppression and physical or psychological annihilation of human beings."
