In this final volume of the 1877 work that established him as England's leading authority on pornography, Henry Spencer Ashbee describes scores of curious, uncommon and erotic books that were banned or otherwise prohibited from legitimate sale during the Victorian era. Included in this volume are such gentlemen only titles as Intrigues and Confessions of a Ballet Girl, The Pleasures of Kissing and Being Kissed, and the infamous Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure. This catalog of mostly forgotten works is an invaluable-and highly entertaining-resource for bibliophiles, students of erotica, and collectors of Victoriana. British book collector, travel writer, and bibliographer HENRY SPENCER ASHBEE (1834-1900), aka Pisanus Fraxi, is thought by some to have authored the notorious Victorian sexual memoir My Secret Life.
