8vo. [x], 7, [15], 51, [1], 48, [2], 48, 95, [1], 29, [3] pp. Engraved frontispiece, advertisements. Each book has a separate dated title-page, pagination and register. Modern half dark maroon morocco, marbled boards, gilt-stamped dark brown cloth spine label. Fine. C333(08) First English translation, as written by English Poet Laureate, Nicholas Rowe (1674-1718), who translated the Latin hexameters into English rhyming heroics. / The poem contains passages about marriage, sex, and childbirth. It was originally written in Latin in 1655 and published under a pseudonym, Calvidius Letus, due to some unflattering satirical verses regarding the author's protege Cardinal Mazarin. The book is a famous poem on the art of making or getting beautiful children. Claudius Quillet was a French abbot and physician. The book was well received as many people read the work, even as it is considered a poem written by a physician. / Quillet's poetic advice to prospective mothers: ". . . The morning for a male is best; The seed maturing in the Time of Rest, a firm and well-cemented Basis lays, From whence the lusty nervous Boy to raise". RERENENCES: ESTC: T19836.…
