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.
