[ translate ]

Debauchery.- An Essay towards a general history of whoring. From the creation of the world, to the reign of Augustulus, (which, according to common computation, is 5190 years) and from thence down to the present year 1697. Being a collection of the most remarkable instances of uncleanness..., vol.1 [all published, a variant removes 'Vol.1' from title], first edition, with initial and final blanks, some spotting and staining, lightly browned, brown morocco by Sangorski & Sutcliffe, [E3296A], 8vo, Printed for Richard Baldwin at the Oxford-Arms in Warwick-Lane, 1697.

⁂ An exhaustive compilation of sexual deviance and other vices, with a handy index. In addition to whoring, we encounter adultery, polygamy, incest, bestiality, sodomy, fetishism, and paedophilia, along with gluttony, excessive wine consumption, over-furnishing of houses, gnosticks, and plays in the theatres.
