summary

With unusual content: The author criticizes parents who fail to chastise their children for engaging in sexual self-stimulation. He admonishes: “it is quite indecent - like playing with a cat...Should parents not impress upon their children how serious is this transgression, youngsters will be led to believe their behavior is only impolite rather than utterly forbidden.” (see f. 18b)

ff. 24. Lightly stained. Contemporary boards. 8vo
