This work was first published in 1924, and had the same title and imprint except for the addition of the words `Ouvrage orné de douze eaux-fortes libres.' Copies of the illustrated first edition are extremely hard to find; an exemplar was, until 1927, in the Enfer (no. 885) but, as Perceau rather amusingly says, it has `strayed.' Perceau (327:1), who describes this work as "l'un des plus curieux de ceux qu'on a publiés sous le manteau au XXe siècle," provides a detailed description of it.
The present edition is a pirated reprint.

958. [KIRKWOOD, John Poole.] "Sadopaideia." Being the Experiences of Cecil Prendergast, undergraduate of the University of Oxford, shewing how he was led through the pleasant paths of Masochism to the supreme joys of Sadism.

The attribution of Sadopaideia to J. P. Kirkwood is made in the Catalogus Librorum Prohibitorum of Lawrence Forster, a Ms bibliography of erotica, written between c. 1913-1923, and as yet unpublished. I was
- Page 215 KRYPTADIA
permitted to examine this Ms at the premises of a well-known London bookseller, in November 1973. I am reliably informed that this bookseller has since moved to the United States, and the present whereabouts of the Ms unknown to me, although I have reason to believe that a Xerox copy of it is in the hands of an English publisher, Mr. Charles Skilton, formerly based in South London, but since moved to Somerset. The original entry in the Catalogus Ms for Sadopaideia gives merely the initials of the author; at some later date, probably after 1920, these were expanded to give the entire name. The reason for this later addition is to be found in the note accompanying the entry, which says that Kirkwood had received his education at Oxford, been a well-known actor in the provinces and had apparently died insane in a mental hospital in 1920. Clearly, the death of the author made the discretion of the original Ms entry no longer necessary.
Two other ascriptions should be noted. In his book "Sexual Deviation" (London: Pelican Books, 1970 ed. p. 37), Dr. Anthony Storr states that "Sadopaideia" was written by Algernon Swinburne, a poet who has been credited with far more erotica than is his due. However, Dr. Storr provides no information or evidence to support his claim. And Mr. G. Legman in the first volume of his monumental "Rationale of the Dirty Joke" (N.Y.: Grove Press, 1968, p. 335), says that the book has been attributed to Havelock Ellis, but again the origin of the rumour is not given, and Mr. Legman believes there may be confusion with "Gynecocracy", which has been much more reliably attributed to Ellis. Two modern reprints of "Sadopaideia" have come to my attention. The first was published by Grove Press at New York in 1967, while the second, which I have been unable to see, was included in an anthology entitled The Pendulum Reader which was edited by Dale Koby and published at Atlanta, Ga., by Pendulum Books. The date of this volume is unknown to me; the information is from an advertisement in another Pendulum publication dated 1968.
