The first edition of this novel, which was entitled Confession générale du chevalier de Wilfort, is usually dated 1758. However, the BL have an edition with imprint `Leipsik: 1755' (pressmark: 1094.d.6.) and another copy of this, listed in Galitzin (385), is described as the original edition. The BL also possess a reprint done at Brussels in 1882 by Gay et Doucé, entitled Les Leçons de la volupté ou Confession générale du chevalier de Wilfort (pressmark: 1609/6055) and what would appear to be a Dutch version called Lessen in den wellust, of Generale beicht ...

This work is noticed in Poulet Malassis's own periodical, die Bulletin Trimestriel for 15 November 1867. In the course of the notice, Poulet- Malassis provides the information that the introductory matter to this reprint of Lemnius's violent satire on Luther is from the pen of M.

This would seem to be the first edition; Perceau (132:1), who was unable to see a copy, reproduces the title, imprint and publication date from a clandestine catalogue. The only difference between the title etc., as quoted by Perceau and the book itself, is that in Perceau's entry the words `2e édition revue et corrigée' are inserted between the name of the author and the place of publication. All that is required to complete Perceau's entry is to add that on the titlepage there is a device showing the heads of a faun and a woman, kissing, surrounded by a banderole without inscription.

Perceau (131:2) lists what seems to be this edition, but there is a discrepancy in the paginations; the text of the present volume concludes at p. 93, the reverse being blank. Perceau gives the following: `Un vol. de 89 pp. (Page 90 blanche).'

Ashbee (vol. 3, pp. 189-190) in noticing Letters from a Friend in Paris says nothing which contradicts the place and date of publication as given on the titiepage; this suggests that they are correct. The work was certainly printed prior to 1877, since it is briefly mentioned by Ashbee in the first volume of his bibliography which was published during that year. (p. liv. note 82.) A pencil note in the present copy (not by Ashbee) proposes that the publisher was Edward Avery, but I am inclined to disagree, since the date, 1874, if correct, is almost certainly too early to allow it to be one of his productions.

This is a reprint; the first edition was published at London in 1883, and Ashbee (vol. 3, p. 403) states that it was written by its original publisher, whom he does not identify. The work to which this is an appendix or sequel will be found in this handlist entered under its title, The Sins of the Cities of the Plains.

A greatly enlarged third edition of this work, entitled Correspondance d'Eulalie, ou Tableau de libertinage de Paris (Londres: Jean Nourse, 1785. 2 vols. in-12mo) is in the BL at pressmark 012550.de.73.

Manuel de civilité has been translated into English twice, to my knowledge: I have before me "A Handbook of Good Manners for Little Girls" (N.Y.: Grove Press, 1971) and "An Erotic Manuel of Etiquette for Little Girls" (Los Angeles: Avanti Art Editions, 1972). This latter version presents the English and French texts on facing pages, and includes the illustrations to the `Londres' edition, noticed above, reproduced in monochrome.

With an Introduction by Maurice Gloser, Ph.D. Los Angeles, Calif.: Holloway House (1969). 8vo. pp. 247 + (vii) of advertisements. Original wrappers preserved. Gloser's Introduction argues strongly against Pierre Louis being the author of this work, leaving the purpose of its republication obscure. (30 April 1973.) P.C. 28.aa.9.
A third English edition of "Trois filles de leur mère" was published in New York in 1969 by Grove Press. The translation was credited to `S. d'E.', presumably `Sabine d'Estrée who was also responsible for translating the Grove Press edition of Louys's Manuel de civilité. This edition, which is entitled "Mother's Three Daughters", is interesting in that it includes specimen pages of the facsimile Ms edition of 1926; while, acting as a frontispiece, it reproduces the titlepage of French edition with imprint `A l'enseigne du chat pour chat, 1897 (c. 1935?), a copy of which is described in La Léonina, pp. 88-89.
A rather unusual modern French-language edition of this work has also come to my attention. Under the title "Trois filles et (sic) leur mère", it was issued in 1972 by Publications Avant Gardists Inc., of Casier Postal 21, Succursale Victoria, Montréal, Québec, Canada. In appearance, this volume is hardly different from the many pornographic effusions issuing from the United States in English; indeed, from the advertisements at the end of the book, listing such works as Prisonnière de la Gestapo - (`Pour oublier les tortures des nazis, l'amour est un merveilleux remède') - there is little to tell them apart. It is, however, the first publication of its sort that I have seen of Canadian origin and for this reason seems worthy of mention. See also the note on Les Véritables chansons de Bilitis (1937), at no. 1826 post.

1065. "LOVE AND SAFETY," or, "Love and Lasciviousness with Safety and Secrecy". A Lecture delivered with practical Illustrations by the Empress of Asturia (The Modern Sappho) ; assisted by her favourite Lizette and Others. London-New York: The Erotica Biblion Society (Paris: ?Carrington), 1908. 8vo. pp. 160. Original blue-grey wrappers, printed in red and black, preserved. The imprint is false; printed at Paris. The text of "Love and Safety" concludes at p. 130, and the rest of the volume is taken up with a text of "Only a Boy", which has been firmly ascribed to Eugene Field. The back wrapper carries advertisements for the following works : The Autobiography of a Flea - Flossie. - The Horn Book. - Love and Safety. - Maidenhead Stories. - "The Memoirs of Dolly Morton". - Memoirs of the Celebrated Fanny Hill. - School Life in Paris. (30 June 1968.) P.C. 26.C.9.
Love and Safety would seem to be a translation of part of a French work entitled Instruction libertine. This was probably circulated in Nis copies during the 186o's, before being published in part only by J. P. Blanche at Brussels in 1870. This published portion, itself of extreme rarity being issued in just so copies (BL copy: Cup. 363.d.58.), was later translated as The Horn Book and published in 1898. The unpublished portion of the French original appeared, in English as Love and Safety, at about the same time and from the same publisher. The complicated history of this work is explored thoroughly in the title essay of Mr. G. Legman's "The Horn Book" (New York, 1964, pp. 46-70). Love and Safety was reprinted in 1968 by Greenleaf Classics Inc. of San Diego, Calfornia.
