Bergeret, Louis François Étienne
GLI ABUSI DI VENERE FRA I POPOLI DELL’EVO ANTICO, MEDIO E MODERNO. Traduzione italiana del D.r Mario Alberti.
Brossura, cm10x16, pp 128. Bella brossura editoriale con titolo in bruno e rosso entro cornice decorativa, a sua volta circondata da annunci di altri titoli proposti dall’editore (igiene sessuale, chiromanzia..). Abitudini sessuali e prostituzione presso i popoli d’Europa, e proposte di regolamentazione. Dell’Italia: “I frati si insinuano in qualunque casa dove fiutano qualche bella donna”, e ancora “Il piacere contro natura, è un male così intimamente legato alla corrotta costituzione d’Italia, che la sua estirpazione è sperabile solo se il benefico genio dell’umanità facesse sprofondare quel suolo che lo sostenta”.

Manhood and Marriage
364 pages. "This book endeavors to raise up the fallen, to shed the light of knowledge where only the darkness of the vilest prudery reigns, to place health of body and purity of mind whithin the reach of every human soul now struggling in the mire of weakness, disease, mental and moral filth. An to men who have been tortured almost beyond mortal endurance as the result of ignorance and sin, at times welcomed inknowingly, this book is reverently dedicated." - from Dedication page. A fascinating readable and nostalgic coverage of the topic, from a Christian perspective. The thirty-four chapters cover such topics as: Selecting a wife; Love-making and its dangers; Establishing the intimate relations of marriage; Should husbands be present at childbirth; The Erring Wife; Sowing Wild Oats; The truth about masturbation; how virility is destroyed, and much much more. Black and white photographic frontis of author and his young family. Spine leans slightly to right. Small spot of white paint on front board. Infrequent markings by prior owner in ink.

vii, [3], 477 pages. Index.

His conclusions are the more convincing because of the thorough study of feminine glandular make-up and the social history of woman which precedes his discussion of modern woman's place in society." - dust jacket.
