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.

uncut. Privately printed for subscribers only. =$5.00=

Lang. Post 8vo., new half calf, gilt top and back, uncut.
London, 1896. =$5.00=

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. His originality lies in his charming
medley of sentiment and humor, of a smiling compassion and
sympathy with a touch of mocking mirth. The Love of Aucassin
and Nicolete.

11 Amatory. The Greek Anthology. (Palatine MS.) The Amatory

photogravure plates. 8vo. cloth, gilt top, uncut. N. Y. (London

luxurious European court at the most brilliant epoch of its
existence.

14 Amatory. Ephemera. Greek Prose Poems. By Mitchell S. Buck.
8vo. boards, vellum backs, uncut. Philadelphia, 1916. =$2.25=

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.

Lang item.

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. 1/2 red levant morocco, raised bands, gilt
tops. London, 1890. =$15.00=

The cream of the diarists and memoir writers.

Privately printed Vizetelly edition. Scarce. Regarded as a
series of pictures of the society of the time, the Diary is
unsurpassed for vivid coloring and truthful delineation.

vols., 8vo. 3/4 crushed blue levant morocco, extra, gilt
paneled backs with raised bands, gilt tops, uncut. Phila.,

Ballad of the Nun, The Fay and the Peri, Oh, When I Sleep, To

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,

Latin Quarter).

on hand-made paper and illustrated with 7 etchings. 12mo.
cloth, uncut. Phila., 1916. =$3.50=

Volume I, The Bard of Mary Redcliffe, a play in 5 acts.
Vol. II, Rinaldo, the Doctor of Florence, a play in 5 acts.
Chatterton, a 1-act play. Sonnets.

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=

handsome woman, courted by royalty itself, but at last met the
fate of so many others of her class.

EDITION. With portrait and several fine etchings by Faurie,
printed on Japan vellum. 8vo. buckram, gilt top, 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, 1/2 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=

Design of Elegiac Verse; with Characters of the most Celebrated

frontispiece, and several head-and-tail pieces. Post 8vo. new
1/2 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. 1/2 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.
1/2 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=

Limited to 100 numbered copies only.

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=

Limited to 100 numbered copies only.

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. 1/2 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.

39 Flagellation. The Rodiad. By George Coleman. 18mo. original
red boards, leather backs (new.) London, 1810 (reprinted.)
