Title: The Petticoat: An Heroi-comical Poem. In two books
Author: [Erotic Literature] [Chute, Francis]
Seller: Whitmore Rare Books (United States)
Description: London: R. Burleigh [false imprint for E. Curll], 1716. First edition. Bound to style in quarter calf over marbled boards with gilt to spine. All edges marbled. Measuring 185 x 112mm and collating complete including half title: [4], iii, [1, blank], 39, [1, blank]. With catchword 'behold' on page 27 and floral ornament above 'Finis' on page 39 as called for. A Fine example, unmarked and fresh. A scarce piece of erotic satire, ESTC records copies at 11 U.S. institutions. It last sold at auction in 1929, and the present is the only first edition on the market. "Begin my Muse and sing in Epick train The Petticoat; Nor shall thou sing in vain, The Petticoat will sure reward thy pain!" So opens a satire composed under the pseudonym Mr. Gay (used by several of those hacks in Edmund Curll's employ), which traces how the amorous adventures of Thyrsis and Chloe were made possible by the latter's fashionable hooped skirt. Finding both humor and seriousness in women's fashion, The Petticoat points out how some of the clothing designed to hinder women's movement could actually be adapted to their advantage -- in this case, the pursuit and fulfillment of illicit sexual affairs. For just as Thyrsis is able to hide beneath his lover's skirt to conceal himself while pleasing her, Chloe is able to share this information with her female coterie (including the work's readers). Thus, women desirous of hiding lovers of any gender might deploy this ingenious method, allowing them to engage in affairs without traveling far from home. An acknowledgement of women's own sexual desire and agency. ESTC T43929. Unspeakable Curll 241-242. Not in the Register of Erotic Books.

Hole punched in upper left corner. Small spot on back cover. "Our twenty years of experience with Cancer ... demonstrates the Williams Treatment (potential cauterization), in our hands,, based upon these figures, to be far more certain and dependable in its results than are the knife, radium, and x-ray in the treatment of Cancer. Potential cauterization is described in more detail on page 9. This volume contains lots of testmonials. In addition to individual testimonials, pages 94 -132 contain lists organized by State (and provinces in Canada) of "some" of their former patients identified by name and town who could be contacted for for reference about their treatment of cancers by the Williams method. A large orange slip tipped in along the inside of the first interior page announces that Williams Sanatorium had relocated to Hudson, Minnesota (which happened in 1932). Hudson is described as lying 20 miles east of the Twin Cities and situated on the East Bank of the St. Croix River. Hudson was the hometown of Boyd T. Williams. He continued to operate his Sanatorium for the treatment of cancer out of his home in Hudson until about 1947.
