In the early modern period, the popularity of manuals on conception, pregnancy and childbirth -- especially Nicolas Culpeper's Directory for Midwives (1651) -- intersected with the continued popularity of Aristotelian works and the skills of writers and booksellers in reacting quickly to such trends for their own benefit. In this environment, the pseudo-Aristotelian Aristotle's Masterpiece (first published in 1684) became 'the best-selling guide to pregnancy and childbirth' and witnessed 'more editions than all other popular works on the topic combined' through to the late nineteenth century (Mary E. Fissell, 'Hairy Women and Naked Truths: Gender and the Politics of Knowledge in Aristotle's Masterpiece', The William and Mary Quarterly 60 (2003), pp. 43-74, at p. 43). Indeed, such was its impact on popular culture that references to it can be found in the literature of the early twentieth century; for example, Leopold Bloom is shown a copy in a Dublin bookshop in James Joyce's Ulysses (1922) and references to the text recur in the novel. The first edition of the text, which appears to have survived in three main states, was a combination mostly of Levinus Lemnius's Secret Miracles of Nature (1559, first and only English edition 1658) and the anonymous Complete Midwives Practice, which was itself a compilation of earlier texts, and the text was revised, reworked, and modified throughout the following two centuries. The present copy appears to be one of a number of variant editions produced in the latter part of the nineteenth century, which continued the tradition of making these topics attractive to a popular audience, through the use of red, ochre, and black lithographic plates as illustrations. The textual contents are comprehensive and interesting, and the first two sections discuss many aspects of sexual health, conception, and childbirth, from virginity to the assignation of the child's sex in the womb; from the difficulties and complexities of conception to the perils of each month of pregnancy; and from the progress of and complications in childbirth to children's diseases. They are followed by Aristotle's 'Book of Problems', his 'Remarks on Physiognomy', and 'The Family Physician, being Choice and Approved Remedies for the Several Distempers Incident to the Human Body'. This last is more practical, and is divided into two parts. The first offers recipes for remedies such as 'A Vomit for a Swimming in the Head', 'An Ointment for the Itch', 'A Distilled Water for the Jaundice', and 'For St. Anthony's Fire', and the second part is an alphabetical glossary of illnesses, providing definitions and recommended treatments. Taken together, these sections give the reader a comprehensive account of not only conception and childbirth, but also a broad spectrum of domestic medical issues. This edition is rare and we cannot trace a copy which matches ours in UK institutional collections. ¶¶¶FURTHER INFORMATION: please contact us for further information about this item and prices for shipping.

with a woodcut frontispiece and 8 woodcuts in the text, poorly printed, a few edges frayed with the loss of some letters on one leaf, some foxing and soiling, 2 of the woodcuts scribbled on in pencil, pp. [ii, half-title - reading 'A new and enlarged edition'] iv, 360, 12mo, contemporary half calf, flat spine gilt in compartments, black lettering piece lettered 'Milton', corners worn and lacking leather, sound, inscription inside front cover (see below). 'Second edition' means second Kendrew printed edition. This edition is not only rare, it has a most interesting ownership inscription. The inside front cover is inscribed in pencil 'Miss Chester, Beach Lane, Stretton, [Nr?] Burton-on-Trent, Given to her by her Grandma.' Liking this book as we do, we have had many copies in various editions, but we don't recall any with such a inscription, demonstrating grand-maternal solicitude. This may explain the Milton on the label.
