Item description from seller

An enlarged edition, embellished with several fine engravings. Contemporary full sheep. 360 pp. Half title. Frontispiece and seven further illustrations to the Complete Masterpiece; The Experienced Midwife with another three illustrations; Book of Problems and Last Legacy are not illustrated. A good or better entirely unsophisticated example, the binding firm but worn especially at the corners. The contents, with marginal tears to the two pages (133 and 212), the odd corner crease or stain to the blank margins, are otherwise clean throughout. Binder's waste visible to the gutter after the endpapers, front and rear. A scarce York printing of the four popular pseudo-Aristotelian manuals on procreation, gestation, and childbirth. Aristotle's Complete Masterpiece, the most influential of these texts, was the first sex manual in English when it first appeared in 1684, and was reprinted multiple times throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Further details and images for any of the items listed are available on request. All items are catalogued by humans. Lucius Books welcomes direct contact with our customers.…
