The feminine personage who occupies the principal place in this romance whose pages you are about to turn, is an antique courtesan, but be reassured, she will not convert herself.

She will be loved neither by a monk, a prophet or a God. In actual literature, this is an originality.

Rather she will be frankly a courtesan, the ardor and also the pride of every human being who has vocation and who holds in society a freely chosen place; she will have ambition to raise herself to the highest point; she will not even imagine a need for excuse or mystery in her life.

Limited number of copies only printed. What the nameless author does care for, is his telling of the love story, the passion of Aucassin and Nicolete.

Edition limited to 750 copies printed entirely on Japan paper. The two series of antique sketches contained in this volume show the art of rhythmic prose, so successfully used in French by such writers as Baudelaire and Pierre Louys, presented directly in the English language.

A keen perception of beauty has not distorted a necessary faithfulness to subject-matter; and those who still admire the flowers of past ages will find them here, still fragrant.

15 Amatory. Longinus on the Sublime. Translated into English by H. L. Havell. With a 12-page introduction by Andrew Lang. Post 8vo. original cloth, uncut. London, 1890 Scarce. $5.00

16 Amatory. The Thousand and One Days. Persian Tales. Edited by Justin Huntley McCarthy. Frontispiece. 2 vols. Post 8vo. original boards, vellum backs, uncut. London, 1892. $5.00

If the Thousand and One Days are not such splendid stories as The Thousand and One Nights, what stories in the world are so splendid? We may love the (The Thousand and One Nights) with all our hearts, and yet be willing to welcome The Thousand and One Days for the sake of that enchanted and enchanting Orient of which they tell.

17 Amatory. For a Night. By Emile Zola. Translated by Alison M. Lederer. 8vo. cloth. Phila., 1911. $1.00

The imaginative realism, the poetic psychology, of this story of the abnormal Therese who kills her lover; of the simple-minded Julien who becomes an accessory after the act for love of her, and finally "let himself fall" into the river, having first dropped the body of Colombel over, are gripping and intense.

This volume contains two other typical Zola stories: The Maid of the Dawber and Complements—two delightful, crisp bits of literature.

18 Amatory. The Diary and Letters of Madame D'Arblay (Frances Burney.) With Notes by W. C. Ward. Engraved frontispieces. 3 vols., post 8vo. ½ red levant morocco, raised bands, gilt tops. London, 1890. $15.00

20 Amatory. Sonnets from the Patagonian. 8vo. boards, uncut. Phila., 1918. $2.00

Limited to 750 copies printed on Italian hand-made paper. This volume when it first appeared was not liked by divers nice people—it was thought nasty—but none put it down till he had finished it, a terror was on him lest he miss a word. And the terror was the sword of Beauty which slayeth all.

21 Amatory. The Grove; or, a Collection of Original Poems. Translation by W. Walsh, Dr. J. Donne, Mr. Dryden, Mr. Hall, The Cady E—— M——; Mr. Butler, Sir John Suckling, and other eminent hands. 8vo. contemporary blind tooled paneled calf, (neatly rebacked.) London, 1721. Curious old work. $7.50

The list of subscribers includes the names of several ladies, and some clergymen, but some of the pieces are decidedly unfit for either women or the clergy.

22 Amatory. Two Deaths in the Bronx. By Donald Evans. 8vo. boards, antique wove paper. Philadelphia, 1918. $1.50

The modernism, mistakenly called Futurism, that in the Sonnets from the Patagonian sometimes merely amazed, in the present instance, stimulates and satisfies. The volume is a series of pitiless photographs of profligate men and women who fritter away life, seeking new pleasures, new sensations. It is a gallery of incurable poseurs. A curious little volume.

22A Amatory. The Bohemians of the Latin Quarter. (Scenes de la Vie de Boheme.) By Henri Murger. A literal translation into English. UNEXPURGATED EDITION. With portrait and several very fine etchings printed on Japan vellum. 8vo. original buckram, uncut. Societe des Beaux-Arts. Paris, London and New York, 1915. $2.25

These three plays and sixty-odd sonnets are written with lucidity and emotion. A human heart throbs through them. The sonnets have evoked a fine critical eulogy from the greatest student of the Elizabethan sonnets (including Shakespeare's).

23A Amatory. The Lady with the Camellias. By Alexander Dumas, fils. UNEXPURGATED EDITION. With portrait and several fine etchings by Albert Lynch, printed on Japan vellum. 8vo. buckram, gilt tops, uncut. Societe des Beaux-Arts. Paris, London and New York, 1915. $2.25

Madame Bovary is a most fascinating story of a woman of culture and refinement, but ultimately followed the course of so many others.

25 Amatory. Secret Memoirs of Louise, Crown Princess, The Court of Royal Saxony, 1891-1902. From the pages of her diary, lost at the time of her elopement from Dresden with W. Andre ("Richard") Giron. By Henry W. Fisher. Illustrated from photogravures, ½ vellum, board sides, gilt top and back, as issued. N. Y., 1912. $5.00

This edition printed on Japanese vellum paper, is limited to 250 copies only. UNEXPURGATED.

If Louise had lived at the time of Phryne, the philosophers would have characterized her as "an animal with long hair," if he had known her, the great Mirabean might have coined his pet phrase, "a human that dresses, undressed and talks" (or writes) for Louise; as a matter of fact, she is one of those "Jansenists" of love who believe in the utter helplessness of natural woman to turn down a good-looking man.

26 Another Copy of the same edition, printed upon a beautiful laid deckle-edge paper. UNEXPURGATED. Cloth, 8vo. gilt tops, New York, 1912. $3.00

Finely engraved frontispiece, and several head-and-tail pieces. Post 8vo. new ½ polished brown calf extra, gilt tooled backs, with green levant labels, gilt top. London, 1720. $12.50

The works of Ovid having been some time translated, and met with so favorable a reception, the translator thought it would not be disagreeable to introduce a polite contemporary of his, in our language, one whom Ovid himself imitated, and for whom he had so great a value that he recommends his pupils in Art of Love, to read his works, and gather from them all the tender sentiments expressed of the tenderest of passions.

ANTHROPOLOGICAL WORKS SOLD ONLY TO DOCTORS, LAWYERS, AND EDUCATORS.

28 Anthropology. (Davenport, John). Curiositates Eroticæ Physiologiæ, or, Tabooed subjects freely treated. Six Essays, vis.: Generation; Chastity and Modesty; Marriage; Circumcision; Eunuchism; Hermaphrodism, and followed by a closing essay on Death. Small 4to. ½ morocco, gilt top, uncut. London: Privately printed, 1875. $15.00

Let it not be supposed that the author's intention has been that of writing an obscene book, or even to employ obscene words. He holds that the grand subject—the Reproduction of the Human Race—which runs more or less through all the essays in this volume, is, in itself, most pure, and that the words which are necessary, adequately, and correctly to describe it in its various phases and ramifications, have acquired the stigma of obscene only in modern times, and, though an ultra-fastidiousness, which would hesitate to apply the word breech to a man's small clothes, but would rather designate them as unmentionables, indescribables, or femoral habiliments.

29 Anthropology. Aphrodisiacs and Anti-aphrodisiacs: Three Essays on the Powers of Reproduction; with some account of the Judicial "Congress" as practised in France during the Seventeenth Century. By John Davenport. Illustrated. Small 4to. ½ levant morocco extra, gilt tooled back, gilt top, uncut. London. Privately printed, 1869. $15.00

The reproduction powers of nature were regarded by the nations of remote antiquity with an awe and reverence so great as to form an object of worship, under a symbol, of all others the most significant—the Phallus; and this was founded a religion, of which the traces exist to this day, not in Asia alone, but even in Europe itself.

30 Anthropology. Psychopathia Sexualis. With especial reference to the Antipathic Sexual Instinct. A Medico-Forensic Study. By Dr. R. V. Krafft-Ebing. Translated from the German by F. J. Rebman. 8vo. buckram. New York, 1910. $3.50

Few people are conscious of the deep influence exerted in sexual life upon the sentiment, thought and action of man in his social relations to others. Shiller, in his essay, Die Weltweisen, touches upon this subject in these memorable words: "So long as philosophy keeps together the structure of the Universe so long does it maintain the world's machinery of hunger and love."

31 Anthropology. A Problem in Modern Ethics. Being an Inquiry into the Phenomenon of Sexual Inversion. Addressed especially to Medical Psychologists and Jurists. By John Addington Symonds. 8vo. cloth. London, privately printed, 1896. $3.50

Inverted sexuality, the sexual instinct diverted from its normal channel, directed (in the case males) to males, forms the topic of this volume. The study will be confined to modern times, and to those nations which regard the phenomenon with religious detestation.

32 Anthropology. A Problem in Greek Ethics. Being an Inquiry into the Phenomenon of Sexual Inversion. Addressed especially to Medical Psychologists and Jurists. By John Addington Symonds. 8vo. cloth. London, privately printed, 1901. $3.50

For the student of sexual inversion, ancient Greece offers a wide field for observation and reflection. Its importance has hitherto been underrated by medical and legal writers on the subject, who do not seem to be aware that here alone in history have we the example of a great and highly-developed race not only tolerating homosexual passions, but deeming them of spiritual value, and attempting to utilize them for the benefit of society.

33 Anthropology. The Sexual Life of Woman, in its Physiological and Hygienic Aspect. By E. H. Kisch. Post 8vo. cloth. New York, 1916. $3.00

From the earliest days of the medical art this sexual life of woman has aroused in the leaders of medical thought the highest interest, and for this reason great attention has been directed, not only to the anatomy of the genital organs and to the diseases of the reproductive system, but also to the individual manifestations of sexual activity and to the influence exercised by these on the female organism as a whole.

34 Anthropology. The Sexual Question. A Scientific, Psychological, Hygienic and Sociological Study. By August Forel. English adaptation, revised and enlarged, by C. F. Marshall. Illustrated. 8vo. cloth. New York, n. d. $3.50

In the domain with which we are concerned the French public are too much afraid of crudities and of calling things by their proper name. By veiled words and by indirect locution one may say anything, but the author decided not to employ such subterfuges in treating of such a vital social question with the seriousness it requires.

35 Anthropology. Histoire de la Prostitution, chez tous les peuples du monde. Depuis l'antiquité la plus reculée jusqu'a nos jours. Par Pierre Dufour. 6 vols. 8vo. ½ green morocco, gilt tops, uncut. Paris, 1851. $50.00

This edition contains many engraved plates finely printed on India paper, which were omitted from subsequent issues on account of their free interpretation.

This is about the most extensive work on prostitution, no phase of the subject having been omitted.

36 Anthropology. The History of Prostitution. Its Extent, Causes and Effects Throughout the World. By William W. Sanger. With numerous Editorial Notes and an Appendix. 8vo. cloth. New York, 1913. $3.50

A vice which has been co-existent with the human race, which has prayed upon the morals as well as the health of all peoples in all ages, which in the past has defied the edicts of despotism no less than at present it defies the mandates of repressive legislation—such a vice should not in any spirit of prudery be put aside as unfit for public consideration.

37 Sex Worship. The Masculine Cross and Ancient Sex Worship, by Sha Rocco. Traces of Ancient Myths in Religions of To-day. A Compendium of Sex Worship based on standard, rare and expensive works. Long out of print. With 26 curious illustrations. 12mo. cloth. New York. $1.00

38 Flagellation. History of Flagellation among different nations. A narrative of the strange customs and cruelties of the Romans, Greeks, Egyptians, etc., with an account of its practice among the Early Christians, as a religious stimulant and corrector of morals. Many illustrations. 8vo. cloth. New York, 1903. $1.50

Contains anecdotes of Remarkable Cases of Flogging, and of Celebrated Flagellants. A most curious work on the subject.

"The Nights" of Straparola consist of an exquisite and delightful collection of humorous, witty and mirthful conversations, tales and enigmas, including singing, music and dancing during the thirteen nights of the Carnival at Venice, as related by ten charming and accomplished damsels and several nobles, men of learning, illustrious and honorable gentlemen of note at the entertainments of merriment and pleasure given by the Princess Lucretia at her beautiful Palace at Murano.

The masterpiece of Italian prose, The Pecorone of Ser Giovanni, ranks in celebrity with Boccaccio's Decameron. The great popularity of the Pecorone arose from the fact that the amorous stories of love, intrigue and adventure therein contained cover comparatively fresh ground. Shakespeare borrowed Falstaff from Ser Giovanni, and The Merchant of Venice is founded on the first novel of the Fourth Day.

134 Facetiae. The Amours and Adventures of the Chevalier de Faublas, by John Baptiste—Louvet de Couvary. Founded on historical facts, interspersed with most remarkable narratives.

Complete in 4 vols. Newly bound in ¾ morocco extra, gilt tops and backs, uncut. Edition strictly limited to 100 sets only. Privately printed for Societe des Bibliophiles, 1898. $40.00

Was this history a mere fiction, very likely the form of it would have been different. Marianne's reflections would be neither so long nor so frequent. It would contain more facts and less morality; in short, the author would have indulged the universal inclination of the present age, which, in books of this kind, does not relish abundance of arguments and reflections.

She published three volumes of poems by Rochester, Etherege, Crisp, and others, with some poetry of her own; and wrote seventeen plays, the heartless licentiousness of which was disgraceful both to her sex and to the age which tolerated the performance of same.

The colored plates, or Nature Prints, used in this work, are direct transfers from the insects themselves; that is to say, the scales of the wings of the insects are transferred to the paper while the bodies are printed from engravings and afterward colored by hand. The making of such transfers is not original with the author, but it took a good deal of experimenting to so perfect process as to make the transfers, on account of their fidelity to detail and their durability, fit for use as illustrations in such a work. And what magnificent illustrations they are, embodying all the beauty and perfection of the specimens themselves!

Edition limited to only 500 numbered copies, privately bound in a handsome levant morocco binding.
