''An Open Letter To Samuel Colgate: Touching The Conduct Of Anthony Comstock And The New York Society For Suppression Of Vice'' is a book written by Derobigne Mortimer Bennett in 1879. The book is a letter addressed to Samuel Colgate, a prominent businessman and philanthropist, in which Bennett expresses his concerns about the conduct of Anthony Comstock and the New York Society for Suppression of Vice. Bennett argues that Comstock and the Society are overzealous in their efforts to suppress vice, and that their actions are often misguided and harmful. He cites several examples of innocent people who have been wrongly accused and punished by the Society, and argues that their methods are not only unjust, but also ineffective in achieving their stated goals. Throughout the book, Bennett calls for a more rational and compassionate approach to dealing with issues of vice and morality, and argues that the Society’s tactics are ultimately counterproductive. He also raises broader questions about the role of government and society in regulating morality, and the dangers of allowing moral crusaders to wield unchecked power. Overall, ''An Open Letter To Samuel Colgate'' is a thought-provoking and passionate critique of the New York Society for Suppression of Vice and its controversial leader, Anthony Comstock. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the moral and social debates of the late 19th century, and raises important questions that are still relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
