1930210007331930. Very good to fine; minor wear to extremities. A quirky illustrated facsimile of an eighteenth-century treatise written as a hoax. The disgruntled author had been rejected by the Royal Society for membership in 1750 and his response was to publish proof "that a Woman may conceive and be brought to Bed without any Commerce with a Man". A facsimile of the 1750 edition was published in 1885 edited by Edmund Goldsmid and this edition is a facsimile of THAT edition with added in-text illustrations. Only some of the illustrations pertain to the subject matter there is a cartoonish gynecologist which vaguely relates to the topic but there is also a stick figure on a sail boat that appears to be random but all exude a playfulness and derision that echoes text's origin as a hoax/satire.<br /> <br /> No copies of this edition are recorded in OCLC March 2022. 8vo 9.5" by 6.5" pp. 6 32 2 with in-text illustrations stapled in original illustrated blue wrappers. unknown
