The herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1835-1837, 1836-01-15

BENJAMIN H. Day. is an Inhdel of the immoral school
of Fanny Wrght-also the impudence 10 ndorse again
the calumnies of Judas Iscariot No. 81 against Dr.
Slegh-also the folly attack public and private
character.
We shall not stop moment to reply TO any attack
upon personal character. Ii is too well known in
this community, TO require defence. From 1929
1882, when editor of the Courier & Enquirer
and put down Fanny Wright, and Day her printer,
they attempted to parry the shafts of truth in the
way. IL had no effect then-it will have none now.
We shall therefore proceed in our exposition with
moments thought for any personal attack. And
6rst, of Days n6dslity and immoral doctrines
In the year 1880, when Day was associated with
Fanny Wright they published Carlles infamous pam
phlet entitled Every Woman's Book or, What is
Loyei Abridged for extensive circulation" In
order to deceive the public, it had London title
page but its dedication to the editor of the Courier &
Enquirer and Others revealed the truth. This book
contains some of the atrocious recommendations
addressed to the Working People," in particular,
is species of child murder urged upon poor people
who may chance have larger families than they can
support TIE give copious from this pamphlet
is utterly impossible. IL is unfit for publication We
can only venture upon the following from the
first and second pages;-
WHAT Is LOVE 1.-The first person entitled to answer
IA the langushng maid of twenty. She will say, that
love delightful passion, which can only be felt by
maids Of her years. and If hers be unrequited love-
she will DENY its existence in the other Children
she will say, cannot love- because she never felt such
sensations when a child. Older women cannot love
because they not giddy as herself. She tell
ven who cannot and who do not love; but though she
feels and thinks hundred things, she cannot tell you
what love is. If she attempts TO describe il, you will
find that il the company of some particular male
person. If she ENJOYS that persons company, her
sations excited she cannot tell why she breads his
departure and would aside all the rules Of social
life TO keep him about her. When he goes il is like
final FAREWELL every interval OF seeing him Is an age
his absence voyage. He returns but he eases not
her sensations II he be agreeable, if he has the of
pleasing bis very company Is a torture; but to
meet him at appointment is the very acme of human
cruelty.
III the Young man be the wooer he is the love-sick
aid ali over where there is nothing wooed and money
here must be out of the question: will deal with
nothing but pure love. The custom OF society
ages him TO make his advances boldly; If he receives
No he tries again and again, and assures himself of
victory IL he able to discriminate at the time,
he wosd perceive that the condescenson to utter
No is but An affirmative transposed, and he would be
wise not TO press the monosyllabe but always TO as
sume the affirmative, and to act upon il with appear
ance OF prematureness.
Love is subject which some women will not
ak and Is only necessary TO this TO act without
1eaking, to answer for them to make them confess
at the passion Is reciprocal.
IN is barDarous custom that ferbids the female to
a advances IN love, OF tndt advance
a he eyes, the gesture, the motion, and the manner.
n re pamphlet goes for thirty pages in strain of
- ossest immortality indecency, and wickedness,
on~ ending the destruction of all moral ties-an un-
..,,r. and wicked species of child mufder to the
- ne grossest RIGHTEOUSNESS TO the rch-and the
s..ao. nent of all morality aud religion to ALL

male person OF mature years, who has the slight
