Leather. Zustand: Very Good. An eighteenth century edition of this important and controversial work on sex, childbirth and pregnancy, considered to be the first English sex manual and written anonymously under the guise of being a work of the famed philosopher Aristotle. A new edition of this important work.In a contemporary calf binding, retaining original endpapers.An eighteenth century edition of this important midwifery work and early sex manual. The work was falsely attributed to the celebrated philosopher Aristotle, though the work was written anonymously by a Pseudo-Aristotle due to the nature of the work, and often considered to be the work of Doctor William Salmon. This volume contains four parts, with the first part being 'Aristotle's Complete Master-piece', the popular and controversial sexual guide, often considered to be the first English sex manual. The work discusses the benefits of mutual sexual pleasure and the enjoyment of intercourse, stating the importance of women's pleasure for successful procreation. These ideas were unusual for the time period, and the book was supposedly banned due to the explicit nature of the work, though this has not been proven.The rest of the work is a midwifery book, discussing fertility, pregnancy, and childbirth, including a discussion about virginity, stating that virginity cannot be determined by the state of a women's hymen, a statement very ahead of its time. In contemporary full calf, retaining the original endpapers. Externally joints cracked, tender to the rear, with slight rubbing to the extremities and joints, marks to the boards and slight loss to the head of the spine. Marks to the rear endpapers. Internally firmly bound with minimal age toning and only the odd spot. Owner's signature to the verso of the front free endpaper. Very Good. None (illustrator). book.…
