[ARISTOTLE; SALMON, William (1644-1713)]. The works of Aristotle, in four parts. Containing I. His complete master-piece; displaying the Secrets of Nature in the Generation of Man. To which is added, the family physician, being approved Remedies for the several Distemper incident to the Human Body. II. His experienced midwife; absolutely necessary for Surgeons, Midwives, Nurses, and Child bearing Women. III. His book of problems; containing various Questions and Answers relative to the State Man’s Body. IV. His last legacy; unfolding the Secrets of Nature respecting the Generation of Man. London: printed for, and sold by all the booksellers, 1792.

New edition, four parts in one, leather-bound, hardcover, duodecimo (15cm x 9cm x 4cm), pp. 491; English text. Bound in contemporary full calf, smooth spine with gilt bands and red morocco lettering-piece. Folding plate as frontispiece, with illustrations in the text. Condition: FAIR to GOOD. Collated complete; binding secure with rubbing to spine ends and joints, the interior with some light toning and spotting. A sound copy of a rare title.

Notes: Apparently 'translated' (i.e. edited) by the self-trained popular empiric William Salmon, a prolific author of domestic medical treatises; some of the text is drawn from Nicholas Culpeper. Thus an early edition of what is widely considered to be the first sex manual, first published in 1684.
