Commissions on "Noxious Material"

Via Google Print, a colleague has found a couple of intriguing Congressional publications:

Hearings of the Commission on Noxious Printed and Pictured Material (1960)

Hearings To Create a Commission on Noxious and Obscene Matters and Materials (1965)

For unknown reasons, Google has made these publications available via "snippet view," which means we can read only a few sentences in each publication. This makes no sense, since anything created by the US government is automatically public domain (i.e., it has no copyright). Google could (and should) make these available in "full book view."

Anyway, not only are the publications themselves extremely rare, the two commissions are incredibly obscure. The first commission yields exactly one Google hit, and that's just a bibliography. The second yields 42 hits, but all of them are bibliographies or similar reference materials with skeletal information.

I'd be grateful if someone would send a photocopy of either or both publications.

Swinburne's flagellation poems

The highly respected nineteenth-century British poet Algernon Charles Swinburne wrote an untold number of flagellation poems signed by "Etonensis" and perhaps other pseudonyms. Some of these showed up in the short book The Whippingham Papers and the periodical The Pearl, but there are supposedly more. Does anybody know where these others are?

American Journal of Religious Psychology

I'd like to get a copy of an article from the American Journal of Religious Psychology in 1908. I don't know which issue, but the author of the article is Theodore Schroeder. If you have access to the journal for that year, please get in touch and I can give you a little more detail.

Clinical Lectures on Mental Diseases

Does anyone have access to the book Clinical Lectures on Mental Diseases by T.S Clouston? Several editions were published between at least 1884 and 1904. I think the material I'm looking for is in the 1904 edition, but I'm not sure. I need a photocopy or scan of just a page or two.

Icelandic translation

I'd be overjoyed to get a translation of this work by the Icelandic poet Jóhannes úr Kötlum:

Aftur fann hún það upp á víst:
undur mjúklega á brjóstin þrýst,
- öllu öðru hún gleymdi.
Unaður, meiri en orð fá lýst,
inn í skaut hennar streymdi.

Blóðheit, frjósöm og fagurbyggð,
fann hún komið við sína dyggð,
- engan segginn þó sá hún.
Heilögum anda yfirskyggð
aftur á bak þar hún lá.

Ástleitni guðsins ofurseld,
ævintýrið það sama kveld
syrgði hin sæla meyja:
Almáttugur! Ég held...ég held...
- hvað skyldi Jósef segja?
