Transcript of a debate on censorship of indecent content in books between Ernest Boyd, an author and book critic, and John S. Sumner, secretary for the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice. The subject is stated on the title page: "That limitations upon the contents of books and magazines as defined in proposed legislation would be detrimental to the advancement of American literature." The League for Public Discussion brought together individuals to discuss, debate, and lecture on various topics. Other volumes included Bertrand Russell on Soviet Russia and Clarence Darrow on capital punishment.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the arguments against censorship from Ernest Boyd, challenging the very premise of literary restraint and obscenity laws. The author posits that there can be no objective definition of obscenity, making any attempt to censor literature, subjective, and therefore, potentially biased. Boyd points out the absurdity of using subjective standards to measure the morality of books, and argues that such censorship has more to do with the pathology of the censor than the content of the book. In the end, the author implores readers to recognize the value of artistic freedom and the dangers of censorship, which ultimately stifles creativity and innovation.
