pp, 186 + Engraved title page. Damp stained. Original boards. Spine taped. "Platos praise of the poets Sappho and Anacreon (Phaedrus 235c) is a sincere tribute to their vivid presentations of the shock of love." Sappho's poetry centers on passion and love for various personages and genders. The word "lesbian" derives from the name of the island of her birth, Lesbos; her name is also the origin of its less common synonym sapphic. The narrators of many of her poems speak of infatuations and love (sometimes requited, sometimes not) for various women, but descriptions of physical acts between women are few. First edition of this influential German translation. SMALL BOX 8
pp. vii, 476 + Publisher's advertisements + Portrait frontis from a photograph by Elliott & Fry, engraved by William Hall. Large 12 mo. 210 mm. First American Edition, with "J.B.L. & Co." at the base of the spine. Original full cloth binding; beveled boards. Some loss of cloth at extremities. Very good. William Hepworth Dixon (1821-1879) was an English historian, journalist, and traveller. "Spiritual Wives" grew out of his trip to the U.S., and much of its content is about Mormonism and polygamy; but he includes interesting first hand observations on Robert Owen's community, and other places in the U.S. where Free Love, Communalism, and Socialism are practiced. At the end of the book appears an essay in German on Pietism. Quite a remakable book. L19
