Complete as two volumes, bound in one.

A 'New Edition, Enlarged and Fully Illustrated', of this vanishingly scarce work.

With a title page to each volume.

Illustrated with a frontispiece to volume I, and with vignette illustrations throughout.

This work offers a comprehensive examination of male sexual development and health across various life stages, from childhood through married life. It delves into topics such as sexual ethics, masturbation, and the physiology and pathology of male reproductive organs.

With further discussion of such topics as infidelity, sexual diseases, prostitution as an evil, sexual depravity, legislation, and 'confidential advice to the wives of licentious men'.

With an advertisement leaf to the rear.

The work reflects the medical and moral perspectives of its time, emphasizing the importance of sexual moderation and the potential health consequences of practices like excessive masturbation.
