The book presents opinions on what qualities men and women should have to be attractive and gives advice on sexual technique, warnings about sexual health, and recipes to remedy sexual maladies. Explorer, writer scholar and soldier Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-90), had long had an interest in sexuality and some erotic literature. However, the Obscene Publications Act of 1857 had resulted in many jail sentences for publishers, with prosecutions being brought by the Society for the Suppression of Vice. Burton referred to the society and those who shared its views as Mrs Grundy. A way around this was the private circulation of books amongst the members of a society. For this reason Burton, together with Forster Fitzgerald Arbuthnot, created the Kama Shastra Society to print and circulate books that would be illegal to publish in public. Quite scarce, even in this Book Club edition.

Cloth. Condizione: Very Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very Good. 1st BCA Edition. Hardback. Very slight foxing to edge. Small mark to back of D/J. Edited with an Introduction and Additional Notes by Alan Hull Walton. This book has been described as a panegyric of love, a song of sensual delights, a collection of joyous imaginings, a work of rare and cruious erotic knowledge, a contribution to anthropological and ethnological research, useful alike to the student of languages, of orientalism and oif psychology. it is all of these, whatever the prudes may say; and many respected and austere medical writers in our modern world owe something of the success of their helpful and popular manuals to the chapters of Nefzawi and the aphorisms of the Kama Sutra. 271 pp.

FIRST US EDITION. 8vo. 8.75 x 5.75 inches. 271 pp. Bound in cream linen, gilt, boards and spine decorated with floral blocks. US style rough cut fore edge. A very good clean copy. Brief Arabic inscription on title page. Decorated by publisher's device on title page. First US edition of the Arabic text of erotic literature, also serving as a practical guide to sexual techniques for men and women to follow, interspersed with stories. The fifteenth century work is attributed to Sheikh Nefzawi from Tunisa. This version is based on the translation from the French by Sir Richard Burton (1821-90), soldier and orientalist; it is now considered, however, that Burton added much of his own material to his version, greatly exaggerating and expanding its content. The edition, first published in London in 1963, has a long scholarly introduction by Alan Hull Walton. An attractively bound and presented work. * This copy comes from the library of Mahmud al-Ghul the distinguished Arabist and Scholar. He specialised in ancient South Arabian languages; taught Arabic at SOAS from at least 1957-59, during which time he inspired Major M. D. van Lessen to collect and record South Arabian inscriptions; Ghul later taught at the American University in Beirut and Yarmuk University in Irbid, Jordan. During the early 1970s he was the first scholar to identify a class of so-called South Arabian minuscule inscriptions on wooden sticks which were used to record daily records, and for which he proposed an initial decipherment in late 1977. In 1959 he presented three ancient South Arabian stone inscriptions to The British Museum and published numerous scholarly papers on Arabian language and archaeology. He died in December 1983.
