Beschreibung

265pp. Octavo [22 cm] Black textured cloth over boards. With a gilt stamped title on the spine, and a gilt stamped design on the front cover. Top edge gilt. Extremities a bit bumped, and spine a touch toned. Sixty years before this was published, the book made its first appearance in Boston under the title, "The History and Philosophy of Marriage; or, Polygamy and Monogamy Compared." The author decided to remain anonymous, though the title has been attributed to E.N. Jencks. Thirty years later, the publisher Charles Carrington reprinted the book under the title, "A Plea for Polygamy." Both these editions became scarce, so the Panurge Press felt the need to reprint it. Featuring both the author's indictments of monogamy, and an impassioned defense against the criticisms of polygamy. Though this text is not explicitly associated with Mormonism, it does mention polygamy in relation to the church. The book concludes with a chapter entitled a "Letter from a Mormon's Wife in Favor of Polygamy.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 65845
