Milton: Areopagitica
FOREWORD
By E. M. FORSTER
This book is about banned books, and the foreword
to it ought really to have been written by an educa-
tionalist or by a lawyer. Who is a literary man, that
he should here preface or pronounce.^ He is merely
the ordinary reader. And the best I can do is to indi-
cate to other readers Mr. Craig’s general attitude
towards his subject, so that they may decide in
advance whether he is likely to interest them. Well,
he is quiet and matter-of-fact, he isn’t sanctimonious,
he isn’t naughty-naughty, and tliough he feels
indignation he controls it. Those who S3mipathize
with such an attitude — do myself — ^will appreciate
his work. Those who feel that sex is terribly sinful
hot-stuff should not read him, but should stick to
their favourite newspapers, where they will find vice
denounced in an exciting and enjoyable feshion
every Sunday.

INTRODUCTION
The average young EngKshman derives his ideas
about the freedom of the printing press from the
numerous passages dealing with that matter in the
classics of his national literature. He hears of the
works containing these passages at school, and even
if he does not read them, he supposes that the un-
answerable arguments there set out for all time are
accepted as current coin of the realm. Perhaps he
knows vaguely that the police have powers to deal
with “feelthy postcards” and “dirty books,” but it
certainly does not occur to him to connect these with
those grave and high principles of liberty which he
is taught to believe are the very breath of his native
coimtry. A shock of surprise is therefore his usual
reaction when he finds that certain works by reputable
authors are unobtainable in England, or when he
hears for the first time of a prosecution of a literary
work (perhaps by one of his friends) for obscenity.

THE CUSTOMS
The power under which Ulysses suffered its mediaeval
fate derives from Section 42 of the Customs Con-
solidation Act of 1876 which forbids the import of
certain goods and provides that if they be brought
in they “shall be forfeited and may be destroyed
or otherwise disposed of as the Commissioners
of Customs may direct.” The forbidden goods
include “indecent or obscene prints, paintings,
photographs, books, cards, or other engravings, or
any other indecent or obscene articles.” When this

Mr. Birkett said that from any point of view this was
a prosecution of great and far-reaching importance. It was
important, not only to publishers, important not only to
authors whose work might be impugned, but of vital
importance to literature in general. The first matter of the
very greatest possible importance was the fact that this
book, which was challenged by the prosecution, was a
book which had been received by all the critics with a
chorus of praise, emphasising the dignity of its treatment,
and emphasising moreover the fact that its publication,
so far from being a matter calling for suppression, was
for the public good.

authoresses, who would say they had read the book and
in their view it was not obscene. Other witnesses would
include booksellers, ministers of religion, social workers,
magistrates, biologists (including Professor Julian Huxley),
educationists (including the Registrar of Durham Uni-
versity), medical men and representatives of the London
libraries.

* Counsel for the defence led heavily with Halsey v. iV.K. Society
in which Sumner had incurred damages for the malicious prosecu-
tion of Gautier’s Mademoiselle de Maupin^ a book with a similar
theme. See item 40(a) of the Bibliography.

The Law of Obscene Libel
47
48
^ Dcdly Telegraphy October ii, 1934, See also The Times for
March 13, 1935. It is a point of contrast between the banning of
Zola and the banning of Louy s, that in the latter instance The Times
did not so much as mention the author’s name or the titles of the
books condemned. In executing warrants issued under Lord
Campbell’s Act the police are allowed to take “obscene” matter
other than that specified. In this case they seized a copy of
Lawrence’s Pornography and Obscenity as well as a Bible. The
offence of the former was apparently the inclusion of the word
“masturbation.” Neither was ultimately proceeded against, and
the prosecution against a translation of Plato’s Symposium was not
pressed, although plates were ordered to be removed from this
and other books.
* Quarter Sessions appeals have the advantage of being heard,
as a rule, without a break.

open and that every subject can see for himself that
it is fairly and equitably dispensed. There are a few
exceptions to this general principle (unhappily they
have been increased in number of recent years) but
it holds so far as the bulk of the law is concerned. If
A is mulcted in ftpoo damages for libelling B anyone
can get a newspaper or a law report, read what A
wrote about B, judge the truth or otherwise of the
statement from the evidence given, and generally
form his own view on the justice or otherwise of the
judgement. Similarly if C is sent to prison for six
months everyone can know exactly what he did, the
evidence on which he was convicted, and what his
character was. The reader will not be surprised to
learn that where “obscenity” is involved there is an
exception to this desirable state of affairs. It is no
defence to a charge of publishing an obscene libel,
that the matter complained of is a fair and accurate
report of judicial proceedings or of a public meeting.
This is common law doctrine^ and it has been expressly
enacted in the Law of Libel Amendment Act, 1888,
and the Judicial Proceedings Act, 1926. One of the
consequences of this state of the law is that no adequate
reporting of obscene libel cases is possible. The British
citizen must accept the findings of the Bench or the
jury in the dark. Even if he attends the Court the
passages complained of are often not read out but
