Fruits of Philosophy: A Treatise on the Population Question

Charles Knowlton

0/5 ( ratings)

'Fruits of A Treatise on the Population Question' by Charles Knowlton was a groundbreaking publication that caused controversy for its discussion of contraception in the early 19th century. Originally published anonymously in Massachusetts, the pamphlet detailed methods for controlling reproduction and preventing pregnancy, which was considered illegal and obscene material at the time. The book was later republished in Europe and used by activists in the first attempts to repeal obscenity laws in the United States and Great Britain. This slim volume provides a fascinating historical perspective on the then-taboo topic of birth control and includes chapters on limiting the number of offspring, generation, promoting and checking conception, and the reproductive instinct.
