Title: The Methods of Race-Regeneration
Author: Saleeby, Caleb Williams and Marchant, James
Seller: Biomed Rare Books LLC, ABAA, ILAB (United States)
Description: New York: Moffat, Yard & Co., 1911. First edition. 1911 "POSITIVE" AND "NEGATIVE" EUGENICS AND "RACIAL POISONS." 11.5x18.5 cm hardcover, olive green cloth binding, title to cover, [4], 64 pp. light wear to corners, light edge-browning to pages. Very good in custom archival mylar cover. CALEB WILLIAMS SALEEBY (1878 – 1940) was an English physician, writer, and journalist known for his support of eugenics. During World War I, he was an adviser to the Minister of Food and advocated the establishment of a Ministry of Health. He received his MD from Edinburgh University in 1904 and was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1906. He became known in particular as an advocate of eugenics: in 1907 he was influential in launching the Eugenics Education Society. JAMES MARCHANT (1867–1956) was a British eugenicist, social reformer and author. He was leader of the National Vigilance Association, concerned with social morality, and also the Director of the National Council of Public Morals. In 1917, he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. CITED by Engs in The Eugenics Movement (2005): "Another name for eugenics in the early twentieth century, 'race regeneration' was used by some British eugenicists. It was mentioned in two tracts published by the National Council for Public Morals, entitled 'New Tracts for the Times' by British eugenicists C.W. Saleeby in Methods of Race-Regeneration (offered here), and Havelock Ellis (1859-1939) in The Problem of Race-Regeneration. These tracts discussed basic concepts of positive and negative eugenics. Race regeneration included social reform that encouraged the fit to reproduce (positive) and employ measures to keep the unfit from reproducing, by means of segregation, eugenic sterilization, or eugenic marriage restriction laws (negative). The term had been replaced by eugenics by the mid-1920s."
