Hardcover. Herb Roth (illustrator). This is a 1940s reprint of a book first published in 1869. The title page reads, "Bundling : Its origin, Progress and Decline in America", by Henry Reed Stiles. (The spine's title label reads : "On Bundling'). The book is decorated with humorous wood cuts by Herb Roth, a leading illustrator. On another edition of Mr. Stile's book is the following: "Bundling was an important part of American courting life, enjoyed by all good country maids and men and blessed by all honest folk. During the nineteenth century, many elders clothed bundling in a licentious mantle, and a dark veil was drawn over the subject. Henry Reed Stiles, no believer in the theory that objectionable portions of history should be kept in the shadows, here defrocks these misconceptions and sheds light on this lost American custom and its origins." Bundling --- ahhh bundling --- 'twas a polite custom that created much wonderment and humor. Mayhaps it would be good to revive its use. Peruse this quaint volume and see if, perchance, thou wouldest deign to have it revived. The text includes a history and a collection of humorous verse, which are both for and against bundling. And I must add - Mr. Stiles does not restrict himself to early American courting , but touches on the premarital activities of a number of foreign cultures around the world.
