"Subscription Rigidly Restricted to Mature Students of Jurisprudence, Medicine, Art, Literature And Their related Branches. Only Three Thousand Copies.. No. 1785 ." Limited first and only edition. A very good original illustrated binding. 9.75" x 6.5" x 1.5". pp.434 (including numerous sepia plates). Ivory coloured (watered silk) boards with gilt illustration to front board by Audbrey Beardsley. Ivory coloured paper spine with intricate gilt decoration and titles, somewhat rubbed. Top page edges trimmed, other page edges with deckled (rough-cut) finish. Clean throughut. A very good copy of this scarce and bawdy work. VG. ** "Iwan Bloch (1872-1922), the “father of sexology”, was a Berlin dermatologist. His many socio-cultural studies in sexology earned him an international reputation as a medical historian. He also discovered de Sade’s manuscript of the “120 days of Sodom” in 1904, which had been believed to be lost. This work (Das Geschlechtsleben in England, mit besonderer Beziehung auf London), was originally published under the pseudonym of Eugène DŸhren in 1901-3 (a name underwhich he published his more controversial works). It is a detailed study of England’s more esoteric sexual history, including debaucheries of court life, sexual quackery, perversions and usual practices, with the theme that repression of normal sexual urges leads to such outlets. It has numerous bibliographical references drawn from historical memoirs, literature, the press, etc, dealing with such topics as prostitution, homosexuality, sadism, masochism, flagellation and other sexual perversions. The present edition was “translated” (some say with much embellishment) by Richard Deniston. Added to it are numerous illustrations from English artist and examples including letters from Frank Harris (noted English libertine and author).".
