1883. After more than eleven years' experience contending for the moral purity of the children of the land, and seeking to prevent certain evils from being brought in contact with this ever-susceptible class, I have one clear conviction, viz., that Satan lays the snare, and children are his victims. Thus spoke Comstock, self-styled guardian of the moral purity of youth, special agent of the Post Office Department, founder and leading spirit of the New York Society for the Suppression of Vice, and premier anti-vice crusader in American history.
