About This Item
Lausanne: Marc Chapuis & Compagnie, 1774. 4th. Very Good. Contemporary mottled calf with splitting joints but holding. Speckled edges with worn title on spine with equally worn gilding. Pages are crisp and clean with almost no toning. Written as a scientific text prior to the routine adoption of the scientific method, this was an influential work by Tissot on the risks and issues with masturbation which influenced contemporary and later authors and led to the concept that masturbation was itself bad for the health.

About John and Tabitha's Kerriosity Bookshop
I love books. Always an eager reader, I started collecting Antiquarian books while a teenager and studying history. Flash forward a couple of decades and I am excited to open a new all-digital bookstore to continue my love of books, while bringing desired books to readers, collectors, and other sellers. From Post-Incunables to modern First Editions, I will be regularly adding new stock.
