This copy, like the two on COPAC, lacking the title leaf, which, according to the WorldCat entry, gives the place of publication as New York, and the full title as 'No female suffrage! Attila: theology, logic, anatomy, physiology and philology united, to establish the truism that the woman is no human being'. From the style, not written by a native English speaker. The author names himself as 'Attila' on the first page, and the work is on the outer reaches of misogyny. Final paragraph (p.31): 'However much indignation this, our work, may provoke, we believe to have conscientiously acted according to our motto: "Every being must be instrumental in the progress of truth." And we really believe to have told the truth. The woman is no human being like man, she has therefore no claims to "usurp power over man" and claim female suffrage. Let her remain the helpmate of man, attend to her domestic duties, and she will from her beginning to her end be man's blessing.'.
