The Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts will hear an appeal on the banning of Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (Fanny Hill) by the Commonwealth at 9:30 a.m. today in its thirteenth floor chambers of the new Court House in Pemberton Square, Boston.
Publisher G. P. Putnam's Sons and Suffolk County Superior Court disagreed last year over whether or not the eighteenth century novel is "obscene, impure, and indecent." The decision in this appeal will be an important one for Fanny's fate across the country.
