Front Cover/Spine:
This is a very unique old book as it covers many subjects that were considered taboo at the time. The book was published in 1922 by Bretano’s, New York. The book measures 5 ˝ inches by 7 5/8 inches and contains x, 333 pages. The blue cloth cover has an embossed textured finish with the title in gilt on the front and down the spine. The cover is a bit soiled and the spine is a bit faded. The pages show no signs of rips. There are occasional discolorations/spots but they do not appear to be foxing. The pages have passages underlined throughout. The signature of a previous owner is on the half title page. It appears that the front free end page is missing and the half title page is partially glued to the front paste down. A previous owner has glued in newspaper clippings on the half title page, on the reverse side of that same page and on the title page-verso. Exceptions noted, this is a good readable copy.

Life would be much simpler if love among human beings were similar to love among the animals. At mating time, any animal of any species feels automatically attracted to any animal of the opposite sex belonging to the same species. Age, appearance or relationship seem of no account in the animal world. The love activities begin at a definite time of the year, have as their obvious and exclusive purpose the reproduction of the species and, after attaining their goal, end very early in the summer of the same year. An exception may be made for a few wild and domesticated animals which have several mating seasons and for a few survivals of the prehistoric fauna, like the elephants, among which the family group seems more permanent than among more recent biological specimens…
