First edition thus. 12mo. 83 pp. Cloth backed paper covered boards, very good condition. (43193). Issued by John Camden Hotten, circa 1872, as No. 4: Library Illustrative of Social Progress / From the Original Editions / Collected by the Late / Henry Thomas Buckle / Author of / "A HISTORY OF CIVILIZATION IN ENGLAND". The series is falsely dated and comprises 7 or 8 works dealing with flagellation, dominant women and the like. The claim that these items were from Buckle's library has been disputed.

An early English translation of this treatise on sexual deviancy and flagellation. Meibom notes that individuals in Germany found using flogging for sexual gratification were reportedly burned alive. This reflects the severe legal and social attitudes toward non-procreative or "unnatural" sexual practices during that era. Very good in later wrappers, residue of original wrappers. Engraved frontispiece, small repair to one corner of frontispiece page, bottom third of title page excised. Uncommon.

12mo [though Brunet says 18mo]. Quarter calf & marbled boards, marbled end papers, spine gilt. Upper edge marbled, silk bookmark intact. Two engraved frontispieces. The two works bound together, 168 + [120] pages. Moderate edge wear to boards, old stain to inner margin of title and frontispiece of the first work, some notes and ex libris in pen on a front blank; a clean very good copy. The translator's name has been added in pen to the title page of the first work. The first French edition of this famous work by Meibom (1590-1655), first published in Latin in 1639 (See Brunet I, 677). It was the earliest printed work on the subject, considered to be the authoritative text on flogging for two hundred years. This edition was translated into French by Claude Mercier de Compiègne (1763 - 1800). Bartholin's Flagrorum Usu. was first published in Latin in 1669. An elegant edition of these flagellation books, with two charming engraved plates (artist unknown: captioned "G. tex . inve. et sculpe."). Rose: Register of Erotic Books, Item1905 (citing this edition, both works included). The copy of this edition in the Wellcome Collection lacks the second engraved plate and pages 113-168; The copy in the BnF has the second engraving bound in at pg. 96 of the first work. The catalogue of the Danson Erotica Collection (Oxford, 2019; KK.3.30(1) and (2)) describes a copy identical to the one offered here, with the two plates utilized at frontispieces. The position of the engravings in the BnF copy (as well as the plural "Gravures" in the title of the first work) suggests that the two plates were meant to illustrate the first work, and that the second was not illustrated. The binder has perhaps taken the liberty of re-positioning the second plate (quite pleasingly) as a frontispiece to the second work. Reissued in 1795; this 1792 edition is scarce.

Zweiter Abruck "Exercitatio Medico Chirurgica De Catheterismo / Qvam Praeside . Henrico Meibomio . subjicit Franciscus Henricus Grübeling, Helmstadiensis." Meibom, Heinrich (1555-1625) [Präses] Grübeling, Franz Heinrich [Resp.]. Heinrich Meibom (1638-1700), "Mediciner, Historiker und Polyhistor, Sohn Johann Heinrichs (s. u.), geboren 1638 in Lübeck, ? 1700 in Helmstedt. Nach großen Reisen 1663 in Angers zum Doctor der Medicin promovirt wurde er 1664 außerordentlicher, 1665 ordentlicher Professor der Medicin in Helmstedt und erhielt daneben 1678 auch die Professur der Geschichte und Dichtkunst. Der Schwerpunkt seiner Leistungen lag in der Medicin, namentlich Anatomie; er entdeckte 1666 die noch jetzt nach ihm genannten Drüsen der Augenlider, später das blinde Loch der Zunge (foramen Meibomii); gerühmt werden seine Untersuchungen über die Klappen der Gefäße, sein Eintreten für die Harvey'sche Blutumlaufsbahn u. A. Daneben beschäftigte ihn auch die Chirurgie, Physiologie, Chemie und eine weithin in Anspruch genommene ärztliche Praxis. Seine historischen Arbeiten bewegen sich auf demselben Gebiet wie die seines Großvaters gleichen Namens. Er veranstaltete eine Gesammtausgabe der beiderseitigen geschichtlichen Werke (Rerum Germ. T. I-III, 1688 fol.); im ersten Band stehen die vom Großvater, im zweiten Band die vom Enkel herausgegebenen Geschichtsquellen, im dritten Bande Abhandlungen von Beiden. Uebrigens sind nicht alle ihre Arbeiten darin aufgenommen. Von seinem polyhistorischen Wissen zeugt seine neue Bearbeitung der bibliographischen Introductio universalis von Vogler 1691 und 1700. Sein handschriftlicher Nachlaß und eine bedeutende Correspondenz befindet sich in der königl. Bibliothek zu Hannover, der medicinische Theil desselben in der Universitätsbibliothek zu Göttingen."
