Bibliotheca Arcana...

The Bibliotheca Arcana, sen Catalogus Librarian Penetraliam, being brief notices of books that have been secretly printed, prohibited by law, seized, anathematised, burnt or bowdlerized, was published in 1885. Its compiler and author, “Speculator Morum,” has been cited variously as Henry S. >Ashbee and Chabi.es Carrington, but the most reliable authorities attribute “Speculator” to two men: Rev. John McLellan, who wrote the preface, and Sir William Laird Clowes, sometime author of Confessions of an English Haschish Eater, who actually compiled the entries. Compared with Ashbee's INDEX LlBRORUM PROHIBITORUM, this is a thin, second-rate collection of just 630 items, none of which offer any useful commentary. It lacks Ashbee's critical notes, although it does list certain volumes that he overlooked, but it suffers most from its lack of bibliographic rigor and the simple fact that the volumes are not listed in alphabetical order.

PREFACE.

DURING the present age mankind has learnt a
great many very important lessons ; and of
these one of the most valuable is "Des-
pise nothing.'' Years ago Shakespeare
preached it, when he reminded us that

" The toad, ugly and venomous,
" Wears yet a precious jewel in its head ;"

adding,—

" And this our life......

" Finds tongues in trees, books in the running brooks,
" Sermons in stones, and good in everything."

And Young was only elaborating the same text when
he wrote

" Think naught a trifle, though it small appear ;
" Small sands the mountain, moments make the year,
"And trifles life."

But, until our days, these and other prophets of the

same tale were but lightly regarded, save perhaps by
painters : and their lesson is not completely learnt even
now; for Mr. Ruskin still hurls occasional bolts against
the " ignoble interiors," and the " glorified littlenesses "
of the masters of the Dutch school. Speaking broadly,
however, the truth is at last generally recognised;
and neither literature, science, nor art, any longer pass
loftily by on the other side, even to avoid encountering
the repellant and the loathsome. All the arts, in fact,
are beginning to busy themselves with things as they
find them; not only with things as they ought to be.
An attention is paid to minutüe that was never paid
before, and the grand aim is now, not picturesqueness
nor conventional propriety, but truth. The painter
and the sculptor have become alive to the glories of
the nude, and what is called " the realistic," and have
cast aside the artificial restraints of Watteauism and
pseudo-classicism. The novelist has descended from
the region of " people of quality," and has traced with
his pen the humble and often unpleasant records of
the poor, the afflicted, and the vicious. And even the
historian does not still confine his attention to the
doings of courts and armies. He tells us the story of
the people; for he has learned that it is the surging,
unknown, miserable mass that is the true factor in the
rise and fall of empires; and that in some periods the
history of the rabble has been the history of a whole

Preface.

country. Before Buckle sat down to write the history
of civilisation he read everything that he could lay
his hands upon ; and he discovered that he could not
afford to ignore even the apparently insignificant or
the really repugnant. He gleaned his materials not
only from the writings of divines, historians, states-
men, artists, and poets, but also from those of de-
bauchees and harlots,—as witness the use which he
made of those proscribed books and manuscripts,
some of which were afterwards secretly printed and
published as " The Library of Social Progress." His
History of Civilisation was not intended to be a
history merely of the rosy side of his subject. It was
to have its shadows as well as its lights. It was, in a
word, to be strictly truthful ; and because it is truthful
it is a monumental work in the best sense of the term.
Nor did Thomas Carlyle, when preparing himself to
write the History of the French Revolution, foolishly
and blindly abstain from exploring the deepest slums
of his great subject We know what was his repug-
nance to such researches. Mr. Froude tells us that " for
Madame Sand and all her works, for all sentimental,
indecent literature whatsoever, Carlyle's dislike
amounted to a loathing : " yet Carlyle, in the pursuance
of his duty, read a great many worse books than any
that came from the study of poor, much maligned
George Sand. We find him saying : " Truly, if this

Wretched cloaca of a book ; without depth even as a
cloacal What 4 Picture of French society' is here ?
Picture properly of nothing, if not of the mind that
gave it out as some sort of picture. Yet symptom
of much; above all, of the world that could nourish
itself thereon." This wretched Faublas, with all its
foulness, was important to Carlyle; and as much,
probably, may be said of many other books of a
similar nature.

And if they are important to the historian, still
more so are they to the bibliographer, to whom they
have a deeper interest, because a more manifold one.
There has never, probably, been a book from which
absolutely nothing could be learnt. Either its con-
tents, or its history, or its misfortunes, can supply
food for reflection : and every book, good or bad, has
a place in the sum total of literature, and, if read,
increases the reader's knowledge of life and of human
nature. When Archdeacon Hare, in 1844, wrote to
Daniel Macmillan: " 1 was much grieved to see that
you had given Faublas a place in your catalogue,'1
Macmillan, in replying as follows, surely quoted a
very good argument, although he did not afterwards
act in accordance with it "When preparing the
catalogue," he wrote, "I found Louvet's book, and

another, still more hateful, Tanzai et Niadartti, in the
stock. My first impulse was to thrust them into the
fire. I knew both the books from having seen them,
a long time ago, on the library table of a Glasgow
student I glanced over them and asked him, ' How
dare you read such books ?' He answered me, 4 You
are always too impatient, you will not even read
Wycherley and Congreve, and yet, without reading
such books, you can never understand the age that
produced them. They are more valuable to me than
any history. These books were bought and read by
the so-called noble, by the fashionable and the wealthy
in France, and passed through edition after edition.
After reading them I can tolerate, because I can
understand, the terrors that followed; nay, more, I
feel most thankful for any storms or revolution which
clear the air/ I felt that there was some truth in my
friend's remarks. I know that he was a most honest
and pure-minded man. I never had patience enough
to seek for truth in common sewers. Yet I saw that
Carlyle had read these books, and I felt that they
might have a use to historical inquirers." That Mac-
millan ultimately burnt the volumes does not affect
the virtue of his argument. Even Archdeacon Hare,
apparently, objected only, or at least mainly, to the
inclusion of such works in a catalogue issued by a
bookseller in a university town, where the books might

be demoralising to young men. He did not challenge
the importance of Faublas.

For the truth is that the real lover of books,—the
man who loves them because in every one of them, or
attached to every one of them, there is and ever must
be some fragment of curious lore, or some quaint
aroma of interesting association,—cannot afford to
despise even that form of literature which, speaking
broadly, is actually pernicious. He will carefully lock
away such books, just as the authorities of the British
Museum lock them away. To any one but him who
knows how to use them they are of the nature of
poisons. But he will treasure them: and why?
Because, perchance, they are rare ; because they have
had a hard and curious history; or because they
unfold, as it were, the secrets of the most shadowy
and the most complex side of man's nature, and,
in doing so, reveal,—often, it must be confessed,
unconsciously,—human motives and human passions
in a light that is strangely enthralling to a
philosophical spirit To the bibliophile a book full
of the slang of prostitutes, or of the veiled, but per-
haps still more revolting, filth of the cultured sybarite,
may be quite as much of a treasure as a tall copy of
some rare Elzevir duodecimo;—not necessarily on
account only of its contents, but possibly also because
of its scarcity, or of its typography, or of its binding,

or of the dangers and persecutions that it has under-
gone. Les Aphrodites of Andréa de Nerciat, for
instance,—the first edition, of course,—fetches forty or
fifty pounds when by chance it finds its way into a
sale-room, because the impression has been so cursed,
and banished, and ill-treated, that only three examples
are now known to survive. Granted that it is a foul
book. But the true bibliophile sees not its foulness.
To his eyes it wears the halo of martyrdom : and he
makes up by his enthusiasm for the well-merited con-
tumely with which the world treated the work upon its
first appearance. It has been, as it were, purified and
hallowed by its sufferings. When it could be bought by
any one for a few francs it was the enemy of society ;
but, as a rarity, it is not merely harmless but absolutely
precious,—precious not only because it is almost
unique, but because it affords a true glimpse, though a
sad one, of that most terrible and absorbing of all
dramas, the secret workings of the human mind.

We have said that many, if not most of these
works are of the nature of poisons. But it must be
admitted that poisons, rightly used, are of the utmost
value in the economy of nature. There are men
whose practices and duties, literaiy or professional,
oblige them to be acquainted with the composition
and action of these as well as of all other poisons ;
and this acquaintance is absolutely necessary for

the intelligent grasp and solution of many of the
complex phenomena and problems of human society,
and even of political history. While therefore, we
rightly consign these works to the secret cabinets of
our public or private museums or libraries and to the
prudent care of collectors, we have to guard against
the mock asceticism which would ignorantly wage
truceless war against the records and monuments of
national characters, passions, or depravities, as if these
records were merely vulgar obscenities and unmitigated
evils.

Yet although all books, great and small, noble and
ignoble, are thus of importance to the bibliophile, the
slums of literature have never yet been thoroughly
explored; and collectors, therefore,—and especially
English ones,—will probably be but little disposed to
challenge the usefulness of such a work as the Biblio-
theca Arcana: which is an attempt, in a humble way,
to place upon record a few facts relating to some
volumes that, by the very proper operation of the
laws of all civilised nations, have been, so to speak,
proclaimed to be literary outlaws. Their printers
are prosecuted; their circulation is prohibited; they
are written in secret; and they are published in holes
and corners. But they exist, and, from time to time,
they are met with; and they are, moreover, valuable
fragments of social history that cannot reasonably be
ignored. The Bibliotheca Arcana is indeed, in some

Preface,

sort, an epitome of one significant phase of history.
It bears much the same relation to literature as the
Newgate Calendar bears to the record of life in Lon-
don ; and its brief notices of certain books may, haply,
in default of the books themselves, be of some small
value to the Buckle of the future.

These secret denizens of the library,—these nume-
rous volumes that have been privately printed, prohi-
bited by law, seized, anathematised, burnt, or Bowd-
lerised, have never been systematically catalogued at
all, in this country ; and, although several foreign
bibliographers,—and notably Gay,—have gone over a
portion of the field, they have so far neglected our
literature that their labours,—though most valuable as
regards certain exotic publications,—are compara-
tively useless to anyone who is more particularly
concerned with the English division of the subject.
" Pisanus Fraxi," in his Index Librorum Prohibitorum,
—a book which, in spite of its title and its consider-
able bulk, deals with but very few volumes, says:
" The only work, indeed, which exists in any language,
devoted to that branch" (he is speaking of erotic
literature) " is the Bibliographie des Ouvrages relatifs
à VAmour, aux Femmes, au Mariage, et des Livres
Facétieux, Pantagruéliques, Scatologiques, Satyriques,
etc., par M. Le C. edited, by M. Jules Gay. It purposes to embrace
the erotic books, not only of the French, but of all

European languages, ancient and modern. As far as
French and Italian literature is concerned, it is useful
and necessary; but for English books it is little
better than worthless. Besides, it has grave defects,
both of omission and commission; it is at once re-
dundant and defective, being padded with a vast mass
of matter foreign to its purpose and design ; while
many books, which properly belong to it, are omitted
altogether, or passed over with a bare noting of their
titles. The fact is, M. Gay has collected his materials
and information from the four corners of the globe,
from imperfectly informed contributors, from book-
sellers' catalogues, indeed, from any and every avail-
able source; and has passed these varied gleanings
into his pages without thorough verification or digest-
ing. The work is, however, unique, and, although
not perfectly reliable, is indispensable for the student
of foreign literature."

In spite of what is here hinted, if not actually
asserted, by " Pisanus Fraxi," who has himself done
some excellent work in connection with the whole
subject, and especially in connection with the erotic
literature of England, Gay's book is by no means the
only one of its kind; although it is certainly unique in
that it is far more comprehensive than any other. In
the year 494, Pope Gelasius I. drew up an Index Ex-
purgatorius, in which he proscribed a certain number

of books that, in his estimation, ought not to be read
by the faithful ; and this list was added to and
amended by succeeding Pontiffs, who, between them,
at last collected the titles of a tolerably formidable
array of objectionable writings, and prepared for the
publication, in 1543, of the first printed catalogue of
books ecclesiastically tabooed. This list is, to this
day, being continually augmented by the Congrega-
tion of the Index at Rome, and it embraces, it need
scarcely be said, many erotic works. Of modern
secular publications, a volume entitled De la Biblio-
fhagie (published for the Philobiblon Society) ; Peig-
nons Dictionnaire des Livres Condamnés au Feu ;
Octave Delepierre's Des Livres Condamnés au Feu en
Angleterre; the Bibliothèque Bibliophilo-Facétieusey

gatorius Anglicanus ; H. Nay's Bibliotheca German-
orum Erotica; La Bibliographie Jaune; the Re-
cherches sur les Imprimeries Imaginaires, Clandestines
et Particulières ; the Bibliographie Clerico-Galante ;
F. Drujon's Catalogue des Ouvrages, Ecrits, et Dessins

and the researches of Quérard, Barbier, Philomneste
junior, Nodier, J. C. Brunet, and Paul Lacroix (le
Bibliophile Jacob) all take hold more or less firmly of
the fringe of the subject, even if they do not all actu-
ally embrace the subject itself ; nor should an agree-

able little paper, A Journey round the Library of a
Bibliomaniac, that appeared in the Olio, be omitted
from the list But, after all, what has been done,
—putting Gay's book aside,—amounts substantially
to very little.

That the bibliography of erotic literature has not
been more extensively studied is surprising, when the
largeness and importance of the field is considered.
At least two thousand works belonging to this cate-
gory were published in France alone between 1750
and 1825. In America, between 1846 and 1871, a
single Irish bookseller issued 320 of the same class;
and " Pisanus Fraxi" is responsible for the statement
that in New York 100,000 volumes of the kind are
now sold annually. The production of these books is
everywhere forbidden; but the laws are not every-
where put in force with equal strictness ; and whereas
France, which was once the headquarters of the trade,
now publishes very little literature to which the law
can take exception, Belgium, though theoretically
under equally stringent legislation in this respect,
produces more than any other European country.
But the law is broader in France than it is in Eng-
land. French tastes, and that national humour which
is known asgauloiserie, require that such should be the
case; and thus it happens that scores of works which
could never be openly published in England are pub-

Hshed and generally read in France. In this class may
be placed many of the beautifully printed and illus-
trated publications that have of late been put forward
by Dentu, Marpon and Flammarion, and other great
firms. They are risquées, but no more: they zregau-
loises, but not exactly grivoises. And yet, from an Eng-
lish point of view, they belong to the category of pro-
scribed books. This is perhaps to be regretted ; for
numbers of them are full of the most pleasing and
poetical fancies, and would suggest no evil whatever
to any one save to him who was predetermined to find
evil in everything. None of them, at all events, are
so cynically objectionable, as, let us say, Mr. W. H.
Mallock's A Romance of the Nineteenth Century,—a
breach of good taste which, had it been perpetrated by
an older man, would have been criminal. They have
Kteraiy merit, they are beautifully printed, and they
are illustrated by true artists. Therefore, to the lover
of books they must be treasures. Germany once pro-
duced a great deal of erotic literature, and until quite
recently Fischaber and J. Schieble of Stuttgart did a
large trade : but, warned by the authorities, they have
now devoted their energies to more useful ends. Por-
tugal and Italy still produce much. England never
sent forth so many erotic works as either France or
Germany, and she sends forth less than ever now :
yet she has a large secret literature, and a few years

ago the police, at one seizure, took possession of a
publisher's stock of seventy-four separate works, com-
prising in all over thirty thousand volumes, many of
the most offensive of which were found hidden in the
walls, and between the attic-ceilings and the roof.
There were also numerous pamphlets.

And if the bibliography of erotic literature is im-
portant on account of the vastness of the field, it is no
less so on account of the authors and artists who have
contributed to the production of erotic works. Some
of the greatest geniuses have not disdained to use
their pens or their pencils to this end. Taking artists,
we find in the list the names of Giulio Romano,
Agostino and Annibale Carracci, Boucher, Fragonard,
Binet, Eluin, Borel, Rowlandson, Denon, John Ra-
phael Smith, Gravelot, Gilray, Romney, Leclerc,
Hogarth, George Morland, and several who are
either still living or who have not been dead for many
years. And as for authors, a recent Belgian critic
truly says:

" En France, en Italie, en Allemagne, les écrivains les plus
délicats, et les artistes les plus habiles, n'ont pas craint de mettre
leur plume et leur burin au service de la littérature licencieuse,
et on peut prétendre que l'étude de cette partie de la Biblio-
graphie n'est pas moins utile à l'historien et au philosophe que
celle de toute autre branche de la littérature. Notre connaissance
des mœurs et des usages des Romains, par example, serait bien
limitée si les écrits éro tiques de leurs écrivains n'étaient venus
jusqu'à nous. Dans ce même ordre d'idées on retrouve le tableau

réel de la dépravation des mœurs à la fin du dernier siècle dans
le Marquis de Sade, Andréa de Nerciat, etc. etc., et celle du
dernier empire dans les écrits de boudoir de maint écrivain à
la mode."

Far be it from the present writer to defend the licen-
tious in literature ; yet surely there is some reason in
the above quoted remarks. In practice we partially
recognise it, even in England. In our schools and
colleges our youths are encouraged to study a great
deal of literature that is undoubtedly licentious, for
the simple reason that it gives them a good picture of
men and manners as they were in times past : and, in
allowing and encouraging this, we are,—putting right
and wrong entirely out of the question,—as inconsis-
tent as we are in many other matters. Nor are cas-
trated editions of these works always obtainable. As
Lord Macaulay says : " Every year the most dis-
tinguished young men in the kingdom are examined
by bishops and professors of divinity in such works as
the Lysistrata of Aristophanes and the Sixth Satire
of Juvenal," and " there is certainly something a little
ludicrous in the idea of a conclave of venerable fathers
of the Church praising and rewarding a lad on account
of his intimate acquaintance with writings compared
with which the loosest tale in Prior is modest/' But
we must take things as we find them. And what do
we find ? Aristophanes and Propertius are considered
to be useful as mirrors of the customs of their days,

Théophile Gautier, Voisenon—aye, and even Victor
Hugo, in some of his moods,—are regarded as foul
and accursed. It would be strange if, some day, their
works also were to be studied in schools : yet it is not
wholly impossible. What they have written is not more
objectionable than what Martial, Ovid, Terence, and
Catullus wrote ;—or, at all events, it is very little more
so. But it is to be hoped that such a thing will never
come to pass, and that -the tendency will be rather in
the other direction. Such authors are really of no value
whatever to schoolboys ; but to bibliophiles, and to
sober students of human nature, they are, and will
ever remain, priceless treasures. And, in this connec-
tion, it is worth mentioning that these books are gene-
rally, if not always, designed for the higher, or at all
events the richer, classes of society. They can
scarcely corrupt the common run of people, for they
are, as a rule, far too costly. The magnificence of

some of them is indeed surprising, considering espe-
cially the circumstance» under which they are pro*
duced. There are few more splendid books than
the Farmers-General edition of La Fontaine's Tales,
with Eisen's erotic plates. A copy is now worth at
least ¿40. And there is a series of erotic mezzotints
by Morland, the prime cost of which to the publisher
could not have been much under £1000. Books and
plates of this class do not reach the masses ; and they
cannot exercise a pernicious influence upon youth,
because they only exist in the cabinets of a few for-
tunate collectors.

It would be an interesting task for an essayist to
describe the progress and fortunes of the erotic in art
and literature from the earliest times down to the
present day: to show how eroticism was, in some
mysterious way, at the root of all the ancient religions:
and to point out how, instead of being looked askance
upon, it was actually favoured and patronised, by
priests, poets, sculptors, dramatists! and philosophers,
in the classic ages ; which have handed down to us
not only literature, but also pictures, statues and gems,
tinged with the most extreme eroticism, and yet truly
lovely in their design and workmanship. In addition
to imperishable books, there are the frescoes and
statuettes that have been discovered at Pompeii and
Herculanemn, as well as elsewhere; and the gems and

cameos which are treasured in secret drawers in all
the great museums, and especially in the museum at
Naples. Other evidences of the persistency of the
erotic idea crop up in the ancient literature of the
Egyptians, the Persians, the Hindoos, and the Arabs,
in the marvellous rock-sculptures of India, on some
of the oldest Oriental pottery, in the rude drawings
of the aboriginal Mexicans, and even in the colossal
temples of that altogether extinct and unknown race
that must have once ruled in the far off Caroline Islands.
In later times eroticism held sway in every European
court Now, and rightly, it is thrust away ; not but
that it still exists ; but it is outlawed.

And the word eroticism, as used in this connection,
must be taken in its widest possible sense. The
writers whose works figure in the Bibliotheca Arcana
have written not only of that which is lawful, nor only
of that which is natural. It is unnecessary to go into
details, but it may be briefly said that the texts of
many of these books are pederasty, tribadism, onanism,
and even bestiality: and that these abominations have
been, are, and always will be prevalent in highly
polished society, is, unfortunately, not to be doubted.
The influence for evil of many of these works must
have been enormous ; and nothing is further from the
design of the editor than to advertise them. On the
contrary, he hopes that should anyone, who is not a

genuine book lover, cast his eyes upon this biblio-
graphy, the only result to the reader will be that his
curiosity will be innocently satisfied, and that, knowing
for the future wherewith he has to deal, he will be
repelled rather than attracted by the subject.

The Bibliotheca Arcana will, it is believed, be found
to contain notices,—brief ones it is true,—of a not
inconsiderable number of erotic works that have never
hitherto been described. The editor has had the
advantage of looking over several valuable private
collections of these books, both in England and in
America.

The entries have been arranged without any refer-
ence either to subjects or to authors. The index
which is appended will enable the student to classify
for himself. Brevity, so far as it is consistent with
clearness, has been kept in view. When the titles are
long and not very important, no more of them than is
really necessary for identification is given ; but the
titles of all the leading works mentioned are copied at
length. In addition to the title, the name of the author,
when stated; the size; the approximate market value of
a copy in good condition; and the place and order; and,
in a note, further details of interest are added, the
author's name, for instance, being often given in the
note when it does not appear on the title-page of the
book. Information as to the illustrations, when there

are any, is also given m the note. Places and dates
of publication, so far as they appear on the title-pages,
are printed without remark. When they are known,
but do not appear upon the title-pages, they are given
within brackets, and, when they are at all doubtful,
they are, in addition, followed by interrogation
marks. As for the prices, it must be borne in mind
that they are only approximate: most of them are,
nevertheless, derived from the reports of recent sales,
or from modern catalogues of leading booksellers; and
it was deemed better to give them, when possible,
than to forego all attempts at showing the values of
the books under notice.

The present series of the Bibliotheca Arcana is, so
far as rt goes, complete in itself. The original plan of
the work embraces the issue of further series; but,
if they are published, they also will be complete in
themselves, and will practically form separate volumes,
—each with its index,—of the same bibliography.

Rowles, and was issued to subscribers at ten dollars

entitled " My C * * * is my Fortune,,rsand numerous

scientific standpoint, but is solely and gratuitously
licentious.

Phallicism: Celestial and Terrestrial,

Heathen and Christian, its connection with the Rosi-
crucians and the Gaostics, and its foundation in Buddhism.
With an Essay on Mystic Anatomy. By Hargrave
Jennings, author of " The Rosicrucians."

" This book is written ad clerunt, and appeals to the scholar only, and
not to the multitude. It is a masterly and exhaustive account of that
worship of the creative powers of nature which, under various names,
has prevailed among all the nations of antiquity and of mediaeval times,
alike in Egypt and India, in Italy and Gaul, among the Israelites of
old, and among the primitive inhabitants of Great Britain and Ireland
... a most valuable auxiliary to all who care to pursue such a subject of
inauiry, a subject for which Mr. Jennings is the better fitted on account
of nis long and intimate acquaintance with the Rosicrucians, their tenets,
and their practices."—Antiquarian Magazine and Bibliographer.

" Unpleasant as this subject is, we are quite prepared to agree that
in its scientific aspect, as a form of human worship, it has considerable
importance. ... Mr. Jennings deals almost entirely with the subjective
part of his inquiry, and he has evidently made a considerable amount
of research into the literature of early religions. ... He has produced
something whicWs, at all events, worth the attention of the student of
comparative psychology."—Antiquary.

, " This book .... is profoundly learned, and gives evidence on each
page of deep thought, intense powers of research, clear and unmistakable
reasoning, and thorough mastership of the subject. The appendix also
contains much very curious matter which will interest those who desire
to study the subject under all its different aspects and bearings,*1—
Reliquary.
