TRANSLATOR’S FOREWORD.

The Translator of Dr. Rosenbaum’s great book, the Geschichte der Lustseuche im Alterthume, feels that no apology is required for presenting a Work of this calibre and importance in an English dress,—for the first time. Needless to say the Book in no way appeals,—or is meant to appeal,—to the general reading public. It is a book for Students and Specialists, as is recognized indeed by the conditions of the present publication, in a limited edition and at a high price.
