Not a Carrington imprint, but a popular pirate edition: a poor translation of the 1882 Liseux French text. Carrington, in describing his own scholarly edition, derides it in his catalogue Forbidden Books (1902, p. 58) saying that the Liseux edition 'was immediately knocked into horrible English, and the French translation, which was bad, was rendered more faulty by its hurried transformation, when it was compressed into one dear little volume, and hawked about London in 1887.'Carrington published some 300 titles (some using his own name and others using false imprints, as here) mainly in Paris where he lived from about 1894 until 1907, selling books from a shop in the Faubourg Montmartre. He notably printed a number of works by Oscar Wilde when few other publishers would risk implication in Wilde's downfall and, besides outright pornography, he printed a number of editions of classical and oriental authors and important works on the psychology of sex. In 1907 he was deported from France for consistently publishing and selling literature "of a very obscene and vulgar character". He continued his publishing business in Brussels before returning to Paris in 1912. By 1920 Carrington was blind from the effects of advanced syphilis, being admitted to the mental hospital at Ivry, south of Paris, where he died in 1921. 8vo (181 × 122 mm), pp. [4], vii, [1], 178. Title printed in red and black, numerous ornaments to text. Title slightly glue stained. Early purple half morocco gilt, panelled spine gilt, headed 'Biblioteca Curiosa'. Circular inkstamp of Charles S. Dixwell (1868-1934) to front pastedown. Spine faded, but a very good copy.

First Edition
First edition of this important parallel English, Latin and Greek version. It followed a poor piracy of 1882 badly translated from Liseux's French edition of 1882. Carrington gave a wry veiled account of its publication in his 1902 catalogue, Forbidden Books: 'Were I a bookseller, I do not think I should ever take the trouble to print such a book as I have now before me. Here is a Latin work, full of notes, and bristling with Greek quotations. A most careful and masterly translation has been placed opposite every page of the original text, and it needs no literary critic to see that no one but a real classical scholar-an old Oxford man-could ever have successfully struggled with such a task. The two stout volumes have evidently been printed on the Continent-and for very good and valid reasons, as no English printer would dare to undertake such a work,- therefore each page would have to be submitted to the translator, at least three or four times, foreign compositors working mechanically. Many months would thus pass in wearisome proof-reading, and when at last the hundred copies are struck off, and each man receives his due, what margin of profit awaits the silly bookseller-publisher? He is insulted in every way and laughed at if he dares to wonder that the British Customs seize any copies.'Carrington published some 300 titles (some using his own name and others using false imprints, as here) mainly in Paris where he lived from about 1894 until 1907, selling books from a shop in the Faubourg Montmartre. He notably printed a number of works by Oscar Wilde when few other publishers would risk implication in Wilde's downfall and, besides outright pornography, he printed a number of editions of classical and oriental authors and important works on the psychology of sex. In 1907 he was deported from France for consistently publishing and selling literature "of a very obscene and vulgar character". He continued his publishing business in Brussels before returning to Paris in 1912. By 1920 Carrington was blind from the effects of advanced syphilis, being admitted to the mental hospital at Ivry, south of Paris, where he died in 1921. 2 vols, 8vo (200 × 130 mm), pp. xviii, 261, [1]; [4], 250, [2]. Partially uncut and preserved with the original wrappers in early twentieth-century half morocco, spines attractively gilt with floral tools and onlays, top edge gilt. Inkstamps of Charles S. Dixwell to front free endpapers. An excellent copy.

TRÈS RARE PREMIÈRE ÉDITION ANGLAISE IMPRIMÉE A 100 EXEMPLAIRES SEULEMENT. Cette édition suit en tous points, y compris dans le tirage limité à 100 exemplaires, l'édition donnée en français par Alcide Bonneau et Isidore Liseux en 1882 dans le Musée Secret du Bibliophile. De figuris Veneris (On the figures of Venus) is an anthology of ancient Greek and ancient Roman source texts on erotic topics, discussed objectively and classified and grouped by subject matter. It was first edited and published by the German classicist Friedrich Karl Forberg in 1824 in Latin and Greek as critical apparatus to his Antonii Panormitae Hermaphroditus, a reprint of Hermaphroditus. It was later published as a separate work and translated into various languages. It concludes with a list of 90 sexual positions. De figuris Veneris has been translated as into English as Manual of classical erotology, into French as Manuel d érotologie classique by Alcide Bonneau (one French edition was illustrated by Édouard-Henri Avril) and into Spanish as Manual de erótica clásica. It contains : Foreward Of Copulation Of Pederastia Of Irrumation Of Masturbation Of Cunnilingues Of Tribads, Tribad Of Intercourse with Animals Of Spintrian Postures, Spintrian Enumeration of the Erotic Postures. The work of Venus may be accomplished with or without the help of the mentula (virile member). If with the mentula, the friction of this organ, in which friction the whole pleasure consists, can be effected either in the vulva (female organ), in the anus (arse-hole), in the mouth, by the hand or in any cavity of the body. If without the mentula, the vulva may be worked either with the tongue, with the clitoris, or with any object resembling the virile organ (Manual of Classical Erotology, 23). Nous avons lu dans un catalogue ancien que ces deux volumes sortiraient de l'officine de Charles Carrington, alors à Bruxelles. Chose impossible en 1884 si l'on fait naître Charles Carrington en 1867 ! (il n'aurait eu que 17 ans ! - possible cependant si comme d'autres sources l'affirment, Carrington nait en 1857 ! Si tel était le cas, l'impression serait alors antidatée et serait plus probablement de la période 1907-1912 (Carrington est à Bruxelles). La traduction de l'ouvrage serait de Smithson. Nous pensons que la similitude entre l'édition Liseux de 1882 et cette édition anglaise datée 1884 est trop évidente pour en faire une édition des premières années du XXe siècle. Nous pensons donc que ces deux volumes ont bel et bien été imprimés en 1884 à très petit nombre, comme indiqué. Nous lisons ailleurs la date donnée de 1899 pour ces deux volumes. Autant dire que personne n'est d'accord sur l'histoire de cet ouvrage. BEL EXEMPLAIRE, BROCHÉ, TEL QUE PARU, D'UN LIVRE TRÈS RARE POUR NE PAS DIRE INTROUVABLE.
