Preface

REPRODUCTION is Nature’s paramount work ; because to all else what foundation is to house — its sine qua non. It has its science, or natural laws, prescribed modus operandi , and instrumentalities.

Gender is its master workman, and Nature’s “ male and female” arrangement, with its governing laws, her chosen “ways and means” of originating all life: which growth completes.

Sexuality, its laws, facts, conditions, right action, improvement, &c., thus becomes the master problem, as yet unsolved, of every individual of the whole family of man ; because on it depend the number, and the primal attributes, of all human beings, throughout all time and eternity; and of all other terrestrial productions.

To originate life, and predetermine character, and thereby govern whatever appertains to man and Nature, is its infinitely exalted mission. This renders it the gre'at motor wheel of all mundane productions, throughout all their functions.

“ Males and females,” with all their specialties and inter-relations, it creates, and employs in executing all these mighty results.

Love, their mutual attraction, that highest and holiest, most sacred and fervent human emotion, religion scarcely excepted, is its all potential means, and just as antecedent and prerequisite to it as morning to noon.

Conjugality, husbands and wives, to create which this whole male and female ordinance of Nature is alone insti-

PREFACE.

tilted, including all their mutual duties and relations, with home, and whatever appertains to the sexes superadded, constitute its delicate outworkings. Of course, all domestic happiness and virtue flow from its right action, while from its wrong emanate all marital discords and miseries, all sexual errors and vices, ailments and sufferings.

The original Nature of each sex, with its governing laws, is that supreme tribunal which adjudicates whatever appertains to each separately, their love and marriage, and all their mutual rights and inter-relations. These laws, with their imposed duties, all who marry or are sexed are sacredly bound to learn and fulfil.

The scientific exposition of this entire affectional and sexual department of Nature, therefore, supplies a human want of the very first magnitude. Such a supply this work attempts.

Parentage, or offspring, is the only all-glorious natural end sought and attained by sexuality, manhood, womanhood, love, marriage, and whatever appertains to this whole male and female department, mental and physical. This, of course, involves that infinitely important subject —

The hereditary endowment, the congenital tendencies of their joint progeny, whose inborn elements predetermine their tastes and talents, virtues and vices, health and ailments, enjoyments and sufferings, and whatever goes to make up their existence, a thousand-fold more than their education.

Nature’s creative ordinances thus become the all-important subject of human inquiry. To learn just what parental conditions confer superior and what inferior bodies and minds, what the most and best talents and virtues, and what particular kinds, as well as what preclude and what promote physical diseases and sinful proclivities, should be the paramount study of all prospective parents, all students of Nature, and of man. Though all know that all parents transmit all their specialties, diseases included, to their issue, yet who has ever shown precisely what parental conditions

PREFACE.

V entail longevity or consumption, these constitutional excesses and those defects? And yet these ante- natal causes affect all they say, do, and are a thousand- fold more than all post-natal influences combined.

Astounding that sensible marital candidates ignore, even taboo, this only rationale of marriage ! How cruelly recreant to self-interest and progenital welfare !

Must humanity forever ignore a subject thus infinitely eventful to all parents and children, communities and the

race !

No, thunders out this volume.

No one section of this creative department of Nature can be discussed scientifically or practically by itself, nor except in connection with all its co-ordinate themes, any more than could one branch of a great tree without reference to its trunk, other branches, roots, fruit, &c. How could the eyes be analyzed irrespective of light and its laws, and the rest of that body for which it sees? Then can man independently of woman? or she of him? or either apart from their only specific ends, conjugality and offspring? or of those parental adaptations, loves, hates, &c., which literally control progenal nature? Preposterous and fragmentary all such attempts. In short

Nature’s creative department is a system of interlacing parts and agencies, all of which must be investigated collectively , throughout all their mutual co- relations and dependencies.

This united exposition of gender, man, woman, love, marriage, reproduction, and all the family and sexual relations this work presents. Does not this pioneer attempt merit attention ?

Love, its natural history, laws, and facts, that chit from which whatever concerns procreation is derived, constitutes its stand-point, and perfect children its goal. This love element Phrenology analyzes; and in a manner most masterly and complete. For all the valuable creative and sexual les-

sons it reveals, and individual good it may do, thank this kingly science, in studying which the Author has grown gray. These all-glorious truths it has taught him, he here teaches readers. Find their echoes away down throughout all the interior recesses of human nature.

Its subject-matter subdivides itself naturally into nine Parts, as follows :

PART I. — Gender, or sexuality — Nature’s creative workman, analyzes the male and female entities, attributes, offices, forms, characteristics, signs, &c. ; expounds the part it plays throughout the human constitution, along with Nature’s transmitting facts ; and shows its effects, regal power over all, value, &c. Its critical readers will see men and women through new optics, and scrutinize all their manifestations from a new and superb stand-point.

PART II. — Love. — Analyzes the mutual attractions of the sexes ; shows what magic power all its various states wield over human character, conduct, virtues, vices, enjoyments, sufferings, and all the out-workings of all individuals and nations ; unfolds its natural laws and facts, right and wrong action, &c. ; and expounds this master human passion scientifically and thoroughly, to its final consummation in marriage, along with its perversions and abuses.

PART III. — Conjugal and parental adaptations, discusses selection or mating ; shows just what qualities in each sex instinctively attract and repel ; enamor and alienate what in the opposite, and thereby who can and cannot, love whom, and why ; what unions produce good and what poor offspring ; and what these and those progenal results, and of course who are, and are not, mutually adapted to whom in marriage and parentage, with their whys and wherefores ; including the true times and best modes of forming these sacred affectional relations.

PART IV. — Courtship — love-making, its laws, conditions, and requirements, shows all who may ever love or bo loved how to love scientifically. To be able to “play well”

PREFACE.

Vll on heart-strings is a much finer art than music, and accomplishment than painting. The marital miseries of millions of unhappy pairs are consequent chiefly on a wrong courtship, whom a right would have rendered perfectly happy. Love-making, like all else, has its right ways and its wrong, which this Part unfolds ; showing all how to begin and conduct tins most eventful life-work just right. The very finest of all the lost arts is here restored.

PART Y. Married life — shows what always and ne-

cessarily increases and deadens love, and why ; and thereby wherein so many make such miserable affectional shipwreck by applying Nature’s love-making principles to wedlock; thereby showing how all marriages can be rendered happier than their preceding courtships; — quite happy that and every married year happier than any of its predecessors ; besides giving conjugal rules and discussing divorce from its first principles.

PART VI. — Generation — analyzes Nature’s creative function ; reveals those sexual laws and parental conditions which govern the initiation of life, and applies them to parental pleasure and progenal endowment ; shows those newly and about to be married how to so commence and continue their most intimate and sacred conjugal relations as to re* enamour each other ad infinitum ; and all married discordants,. the chief cause and cure of their alienations; gives a scientific exposition of the origin of being, its ways and means, philosophies and facts, structural and other adaptations and! ordinances, barrenness, &c., included — thereby imparting, knowledge the most interesting and valuable possible to all prospective parents, and all who are sexed ; besides summing; up all previous Parts.

PART VII. — Maternity — teaches the prospective mother what maternal states, before their birth, confer on her unborn' children robust constitutions, sweet tempers, vigorous intellects and exalted morals; thus showing how she can modify and improve them at her own and husband’s pleasure; be*- nn prefaced sides containing a vast amount of just that kind of knowledge needed by all wives, mothers, and maidens.

PART VIII. — Rearing and governing children

treats their nursing, feeding, habits, health, education, moral culture, &c., from birth till after puberty, and is a mother’s family manual.

PART IX. — Sexual ailments and restorations — treats their causes, preventions, and cures, in both sexes, without doctors, including the perpetuity and promotion of male vigor and power, and of female beauty and bloom, together with merging through puberty into manhood and womanhood, with girlhood superadded’ — knowledge how infinitely useful to all ?

All these subjects, O readers, go straight home to the very heart’s core of your inner life / Have you no masculine or feminine nature to study, direct, nurture, enjoy, or recuperate ? Have you no conjugal mate, nor any tender yearnings for some loved one to inspire hope, incite to effort, share life’s joys and sorrows with you, and tread the pathways of earth and heaven ? Have you no children, nor wish for any, to inherit your mentality and physiology, as well as patrimony ? to do and care for, and to care and do for you ? to close your eyes in death, and after it to repeat your virtues ? In fine, are you listless, aimless, forlorn driftwood, left by the surging current of time sinking and decaying in the mire of inanity, none caring for you, and you for none ? For if not, then should the subject-matter of this volume stir your souls throughout their innermost depths, sweeping whatever life-chords remain unpalsied within you. Nothing else lies quite as near the focal centre of human existence as do its affections, and this treatise shows all how to derive from them the most enjoyment possible, and suffer least.

Its three fundamental principles — the magic power love and the sexual states wield over all ; the great cause and prevention of sexual impairments and vices, including restoration therefrom ; and the endowment of offspring, each in-

PREFACE.

IX finitely important, this work grapples. To make many of its now thoughtless readers literally tremble in view of their past sexual errors, and imploringly inquire, “ How can I be saved therefrom ? ” teach all how to carry their sexual perfection and enjoyments up to the highest point attainable ; and show all how to so form and conduct their love and marriage as to ripen up into perfect conjugal and parental felicity, are its most exalted objects.

As a philosophy, too, a subject for study and research, it has no equal ; because it embraces Nature’s very highest, deepest, grandest, and richest economies — her creative and sexual. The scientific analysis of her male and female, love and reproductive laws and ordinances, furnishes knowledge more profound in philosophy, and more promotive of human happiness, individual and general, than any other whatever. Suck, O man, -and especially woman, is the dignity and surpassing utility of its subject-matter.

A right sexual philosophy, the great want of all ages, it alone propounds. It assumes all the dignities and immunities of a thoroughly scientific, yet practical, treatises on this whole subject of man’s creative, sexual, and domestic constitution and relations. When before have they been discussed thus collectively and completely ? It asks no favors. It gives no quarters. It rests its claims on its own naked merits , and appeals to the good sense and self-interest of mankind.

Statesmen, divines, philanthropists, philosophers, all who think or care about human weal or woe, and especially refined woman, ripened by conjugal and maternal experience, examine these doctrines and attest : Are they not true, important, and calculated to purify love, and improve every reader? Would not their earlier perusal have greatly enhanced your own affectional and domestic enjoyments, and diminished your sufferings? Cannot you, parents, elders, business men, relatives, and others, instruct and improve your children, wards, clerks, and young friends, by recommending or putting into their hands this volume, with its lessons of warning

and virtue taught nowhere else, better than by any other means ; your own sad experience attesting that they should be known early in life. Does it not enforce a vast amount of those heart- truths calculated to promote pure, virtuous love and connubial concord ? richly merit public appreciation for unfolding those natural laws and first principles which govern man’s domestic relations from their Alpha to their Omega? and all so plainly that he that runs cannot fail to read and profit? Let time and human experience answer.

Parents, present it to your children seasonably to guide their love element from its incipiency, and to warn them against youthful errors in time.

What affectional or Christmas present is equally appropriate or useful from and to those betrothed, or just married, and even from and to incipient lovers, as furnishing their true love and marital platform ?

It embraces “Sexual Science” remodeled, with “Matrimony,” « Hereditary Descent,” “ Maternity,” “ Love and Parentage,” culled, boiled down, re-arranged, unitized, enlarged, and immeasurably improved in all respects; together with all the Author’s subsequent observations, aided by all those heart experiences readers were inspired to communicate ; this revision having received more labor by far than they all, and

deserving ten times more patronage.

Creative Science added, as a stand-point greatly surpasses Sexual Science alone, because both together exa-ctly express the real thought, drift, subject-matter of both the creation of “ perfect children ’’ — besides being more dignified, while « Sexual Science ” expresses only their instrumentalities. Far better than any of its cotemporaries, all of which begin to build without any foundation; one beginning with marriage — yet on what does marriage rest ? some with the physical woman — only one foundation stone, &c. ; yet behold in its first page on what basis “Creative and Sexual Science ” rests, and how triumphantly it surpasses all its peers

PREFACE.

XI in os foundation and superstructure ; first principles and details; totality and minuteness; variety and range of subject-matter. Please note the vast number of points presented, and

rapidly adjudicated. What does it omit ?

It would not tighten any cruel chains now galling O, how many! — nor loosen any good ones; but gives a true “ natural laws ” aspect of all the sexual relations, for the

guidance of all.

Its mode of treating its subject presupposes that whatever God has incorporated into human nature, men and women properly may, should, will, MUST learn ; and far better here philosophically than vulgarly from low associates, or selldestructive “ sad experience.” It is from this standpoint, that whatever God made he made with a purpose, and for man or woman to know that purpose is neither unwise nor immodest. Public opinion is fast changing for the better in this respect, or from ignorant squeamishness to informed purity.

Brevity is the soul of authorship even more than of wit. Hence, it packs the greatest possible amount of ideas into the fewest words; often using the “ablative absolute, which abridges brevity itself by omitting “ understood ” nouns and verbs, retaining only adjectives, — a most expressive classical style improperly ignored by moderns. Catering little to epicurean literary fastidiousness, it presents its thoughts, principles, arguments, and facts as clearly and forcibly, yet succinctly, as possible ; seeking mainly to be fully understood, reach the head, probe the heart, and improve the life of every reader, and adopts a plain, straightforward, business-like style which exactly express the meaning intended.

An imperious mandamus, issued fifty years ago from the Supreme Court of Truth, hereby discharged, compels all these utterances. Humanity, receive or stifle them as you
