Schroeder, Theodore, [1864-1953]. "Obscene" Literature and Constitutional Law: A Forensic Defense of Freedom of the Press. New York: Privately Printed for Forensic Uses, 1911. 439 pp. Review copy with review slip laid in. Publisher's original cloth, with gilt lettered spine label. Warped, boards soiled. Definitely worn, but a good copy. $50. * First edition. This work provides a comprehensive argument in favor of free speech by the noted New York attorney and founding member of the Free Speech League. "Though put forth as a book, it is in reality a collection of pamphlets on various aspects of the problem which the author has published from time to time... and which are here brought together 'for forensic uses. For this purpose--as an arsenal of arguments, illustration, satire, and eloquence to be drawn on by public advocates of 'unlicensed printing'--the work leaves little to be desired.": G.W. Kirchwey, Columbia Law Review 12:384-385 cited in Marke, A Catalogue of the Law Collection at New York University (1953) 337.
