The poem also contained criticism of priests and lawyers. Mostly well reviewed in the press, however the TLS disliked its crudeness. ***This third, extended edition obliquely criticising the Lord Halifax as a religious madman. Consequently the authorities tried to suppress the book, and Waldo Sabine was charged with publishing an obscene libel and was fined £500 at Leeds Assizes. [ref. page 92 of A. Craig: The Banned Books of England. Allen & Unwin. 1962.] *** Full name: William Henry Waldo Sabine; author, historian and writer on parapsychological subjects; born April 2, 1903, Birkenhead, England.
