Item description from seller

c. 1830s. Cocker, Harris and Finn, London. Acceptable. Signed by Henry Poole with mysterious inscription "from a lady" - signature appears consistent with Henry Poole (1814-1876) from the prominent family of London clothiers who established the renowned Henry Poole & Co. on Savile Row, tailors to royalty and the British elite, though definitive attribution cannot be confirmed. Name and date 1831 inscribed on leather cover; if the Savile Row Poole, he would have been approximately 17 years old at time of inscription. Hardcover. Full leather worn & chipped in areas, bottom 0.5" spine missing, front cover detached, all pages intact, back cover secure. Moisture damage to frontispiece & endpages. Small format (5.5" x 3.5"). vi, 312, [2]pp. Illustrated w/ period engravings incl striking frontispiece depicting Aristotle with classical figures & anatomical woodcuts throughout. Text fully readable & intact. Intriguing provenance: this scarce pseudo-Aristotelian collection covers procreation, midwifery, and sexual health - provocative material for a respectable young gentleman of the era, suggesting a clandestine gift "from a lady." Ships from the USA, quickly and with care, boxed for shipping. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ SYNOPSIS & HISTORY: Circa 1830. A scarce early 19th-century printing of the four popular pseudo-Aristotelian manuals on procreation, gestation, and childbirth, signed by Henry Poole with the mysterious inscription "from a lady." This Henry Poole of London was likely the Henry Poole from (1814-1876), from the prominent Poole family of London clothiers who would later establish Henry Poole & Co. on Savile Row, tailors to royalty and the British elite. In 1831, he would have been approximately 17 years old - a young gentleman from a respectable, well-connected family. His ownership of this provocative text is particularly intriguing given his family's social standing.a young gentleman in 1831 when he inscribed this volume - a provocative choice for the era, as these texts contained frank discussions of human sexuality, reproduction, and childbirth that remained shocking to Georgian and early Victorian sensibilities. The inscription suggests this may have been a clandestine gift, perhaps from a lover or confidante, adding intrigue to an already controversial work.
