...Young Girl's Diary, anonymous, is not a novel, but the diary of an anonymous German fraulein a little before and after the age of puberty. As a pathological and psychological document it is of some importance?it should certainly impress on anybody who reads it the importance of proper sex education for the young? but the average reader will find it extremely tedious?a tedium only occasionally relieved by passages of unconscious humor.

He added that many of "the 40" would not have signed the document if it had said in plain English that man was descended from brutes and that Jesus was not born of a virgin...
