"A woman may rise higher and sink lower than a man." (Chapter 8)

First revised edition of this now famous text that included Stall's rants on cleanliness and masturbation. While the book was intended as a simple guide for young men when it comes to women and sex, the Lutheran Minister has become widley mocked for his attacks on masturbation. Includes the infamous chapter on "Personal Purity" (Chapter II). Originally published in 1897, this is the expanded revised edition with the exercise guide and publisher catalog at rear. Light wear to red cloth annd some foxing throughout. PO name and signs of use including a few dog-eared corners. A nice little Victorian time capsule.

Price: $35.00
