Goldstone notes concerning the rather mild songs she collected that the college "men who were finally induced to sing them, very respectfully sang something like 'da-dadely-da' when the word was such that they believed no nice girl should hear." Later folksong collectors such as Edith Fowke, Ellen Stekert, Vance Randolph, and Kenneth Goldstein have noted encountering similar recalcitrance, the men sometimes refusing to sing the bawdy part of their repertory at all.

GORDON, Robert W. MS Collections (see below).

Carpenter's, q.v.) that remains unpublished, except for a brief sample in his Folksongs of America (1938), but has been used by Randolph-Cohen; Fife; Legman; and Logsdon. A valuable detailed description of the various Gordon MSS. is given by Norm Cohen, in Randolph, Ozark Folksongs, abridged edition (1982) p. 557, keying the whole collection, except the "Inferno."

Note: The originals and typescript copies of all the below, including about 700 sound recordings, are repositoried principally in the Robert Winslow Gordon Collection of American Folksong, R. V. Mills Archive of Northwest Folklore, University Library, University of Oregon Library, at Eugene, Oregon; and in overlapping part or whole (?) in the Library of Congress Archive of Folksong, Washington, D.C., which was instituted by Gordon, but which he left with two volumes of his materials and recordings, on being suddenly replaced by John A. Lomax. See: Melbert B. Cary, Mademoiselle from Armentières, with a masterly musical introduction by Gordon; also Karen Grimm, "Prolegomenon to a Catalog for the Robert W.

The 'Inferno' collection consists of original correspondence and typescript copies of letters (~200 pages) that Gordon or someone else separated out -- because of their bawdy and scatological subject matter -- from the materials he received and compiled as first head of the Library of Congress folklife department. This collection is composed of bawdy texts received in response to the Adventure magazine column "Old Songs That Men Have Sung," edited by Gordon from 1923-27; there are also "California Inferno" texts collected by Gordon in 1922-23 along with "Davids Mss," texts written down by R. M. Davids, Cross X Ranch, Woodmere, Florida, in approximately 1924, and sent to Gordon in 1929. Referenced by Legman, Cray & Logsdon.

IRWIN, Godfrey. 1931. American Tramp and Underworld Slang . . . with a selection of tramp songs. London: Scholartis Press, Eric Partridge; New York: Sears. Songs, pp. 199-252.

Reviewed by J. Louis Kuethe, 1934, American Speech 9:304, reprimanding Irwin for the excessive expurgation, and calling him "far too naïve or squeamish." In fact, the toning down of the manuscript to relative worthlessness was insisted upon by the publisher, Eric Partridge. Compare: BROPHY; and MILBURN, another masterpiece of expurgation. Almost the only showing of the real tramp and hobo songs is in the Gordon "Inferno" MS. Compare: Dorothy Charques 1937, The Tramp and his Woman (London). See also The Slime Sheet, presumably edited by Irwin.

Jordan, Philip D., and Lillian Kessler. Songs of Yesterday: A Song Anthology of American Life. New York: Doubleday, 1941.

Journal of American Folklore. July 1962. Philadelphia. 75:187-265.

Entire issue devoted to "Symposium on Obscenity in Folklore," papers read at the combined meeting of the Modern Language Association and American Folklore Society, 28 December 1960, on the initiative of Tristram P. Coffin and Roger D. Abrahams, two then-young American folklorists. This apparently closed the subject. Except for book reviews, almost nothing further on erotic folklore has appeared in JAF since that date. But see: BAKER; and LEGMAN.
 

JOYCE, James. 1922. Ulysses. Paris: Shakespeare & Co.

Various piracies and reprints. That of Random House, New York, 1934, was used as basis of a word-index published in mimeographed form. Erotic and other song-scraps passim; compare also the imitative works by Conrad Aiken, Blue Voyage (1927), and Henry Miller, Tropic of Cancer (Paris, 1934), similarly furbished. Joyce's later Finnegans Wake (1939) contains a few songs: all eccentrica.

Edited by Frederick J. FURNIVALL. London: Printed for Private Circulation (Ballad Society, vol. 7A). 44, (2) p., 8vo.

(New York Public Library, 8-NCK.) The "Talk of Ten Wives, on their husbands' ware" (from the Porkington MS about 1460) pp. 29-33, is the oldest surviving erotic folksong in English, a reversal in which the women brag of the large size of their cunts, not of their husbands' small pricks, "Three Old Whores from Canada," as traced and discussed in Legman, The Horn Book, pp. 222 and 414-415.

Highly eccentric work, attempting to demonstrate that English proverbial phrases and rhymes are all in a secret "Old Dutch" language, and consist mainly of imprecations against the clergy. Includes texts of many unexpurgated children's rhymes, some reprinted from Infant Institutes (1797?) Compare: BORNEMAN; McCOSH; SUTTON-SMITH; TURNER; also HALLIWELL. KER'S work is very rare.

This is peculiar to [these villagers] and not characteristic of neighboring villages." The neighboring villages are still waiting for their in-depth study.

LOMAX, John A. 1900 ff. John A. Lomax MSS.

Collected at various locations in the United States. Repositoried in the Barker Archives, University of Texas Library, Austin, these MSS include a small "Inferno" section of bawdy songs (Box A/9-152 "Bawdy"), which is now even smaller than originally, as it has in part been "misplaced" by unknown hands at some date after 1957 when all the materials were transcribed and tape-spoken for the present research by D. K. Wilgus and Austin Fife. The Kinsey-ISR archives' folk-art files at Indiana University have similarly been looted since 1963, when they were displayed to me, much more complete than at present, by the curator Mrs. Christenson, just before being catalogued. Materials from the John A. Lomax MSS. are cited in the present work with the kind permission of Alan Lomax.

London: Printed for Private Circulation [J. C. Hotten?]. xi, 139 pp., 8vo. (PC. 1123-1124; New York Public Library, 3*). Translated by Edward Sellon, George Augustus Sala, and Frederick P. Pike, authors also of Cythera's Hymnal, q.v., which successfully attempts to outdo Martial. Later complete translations of Martial's Epigrams into English also exist, particularly that by Mitchell S. Buck (1928 Philadelphia: Nicholas Brown). Compare: Priapeia and FOUREST. An interesting key to Martial's erotic epigrams, done on a different pattern, also exists in the rare work [by Éloi JOHAN-NEAU] 1834, Epigrammes contre Martial, ou Les Mille et une drôleries, sottises et platitudes de ses traducteurs, ainsi que les castrations qu'ils lui ont fait subir, mises en parallèle entre elles et avec le texte, par Un Ami de Martial (Paris: Johanneau).

Merry Drollery, or A Collection of Jovial Poems, Merry Songs, Witty Drolleries, Intermix'd with Pleasant Catches. 1661. London. Revised edition, 1670. (Copy: Bodleian Library.) Reprinted 1875, as Merry Drollery Compleat, J. Woodfall Ebsworth, ed.; Boston, Lines. See further under: Choyce Drollery, as to "Supplement of Reserved Songs from Merry Drollery, 1661," issued with that later reprint.

The Merry Muses of Caledonia . . . Selected for use of the Crochallan Fencibles. 1799. [Edinburgh? Peter Hill? 1800.] 127 pp., sq. 12mo. The later pages are watermark-dated: 1800.

(Only two copies are known to survive: one pœnes Lord Rosebery, with the date shaved off in binding; the other recently discovered by Bertram Rota, bookseller in London, now owned by G. Ross Roy, University of South Carolina.) Scottish erotic folksongs; compiled from letters and other documents from Robert BURNS to members of the Crochallan Fencibles, a men's mock-revolutionary drinking club in Edinburgh. For the fate of Burns's actual MS collection of erotic folksongs, sold on Burns's deathbed to the banker, James Gracie, of Dumfries, see G. Legman 1964, The Horn Book, "The Cunningham Manuscript," pp. 131-169, and "The Merry Muses as Folklore," pp. 170-236. Burns's MS collection was apparently burned in 1871 as an act of piety by the then-owner, a Mr. Greenshields of Lesmahago, who "made a bonfire of them," as he bragged, "on broad moral ground ... so here ends the matter." The matter, however, did not end there, because unknown to Mr. Greenshields, banker Gracie's son had allowed the early Burns editor, Peter Cunningham, to make a copy of Burns's MS "on about 19th Oct. 1815." (Now preserved in British Museum Library, bound into the back of an edition of The Merry Muses with imprint "Dublin: Printed for the Booksellers, Price Three Shillings" [c. 1825], former callmark PC. 31.e.20, from the collection of H. Spencer Ashbee, where I had the good fortune to rediscover it in the spring of 1959.) The further songs in the Burns MS, not printed in The Merry Muses of Caledonia, are all printed for the first time in Legman, The Horn Book (1964), "The Cunningham Manuscript," pp. 134-142. Note: None of the modern editions of The Merry Muses of Caledonia listed below (or any other) gives the complete contents of the first edition of 1800, except the type-facsimile edition immediately following.
 

__________. 1965. Same. Type-facsimile, G. Legman, ed. New Hyde Park, N.Y.: University Books. lxv, 326 pp., 8vo.

This has a detailed bibliography of most editions to date of The Merry Muses, and analysis of their contents. Also prints the newly discovered songs from the Cunningham Manuscript, as above.
 

__________. 1911. Same. [Duncan McNAUGHT, ed. Kilmarnock: Burns Federation.] 135 pp.

Reprinted c. 1930 Philadelphia: Nathan Young, 143 pp., 8vo, changing McNaught's signature to the Introduction from "Vindex" to "Editor," and adding Burns's letter of phallic brag to Robert Ainslie titled "The Court of Equity" and a Scottish glossary. An excellent edition for its time, but now supplanted by the following.
 

__________. 1959. Same. Edited by James Barke and Sydney Goodsir SMITH. With . . . some authentic Burns's texts [from letters, etc.] contributed by J. DeLancey FERGUSON. Edinburgh: M. Macdonald (Auk Society). Reprinted 1959, New York: Gramercy; 1964, Putnam; 1965 London: W. H. Allen; pocket-reprint 1966, London: Panther.

Actually edited by S. G. Smith, after Barke's untimely death, and for the same reason Smith's fine Introduction (already published in Arena, London, 1950, No. 4; and reprinted with expurgations [!] in Hudson Review, New York, 1954, vol. 7) was not used, being replaced by a new Introduction by Barke, mainly drivel. Smith's notes to this edition are very valuable, and its outstanding contributions are the MS texts supplied by Ferguson, some of which are printed nowhere else. The most recent "standard" edition of Burns's Poems and Songs, edited by James Kinsley (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1968) takes no significant account of the Merry Muses poems and songs authentically written or revised by Burns, and omits most of them.
 

__________. 1872. "Same." Faked editions as: The Merry Muses [omitting: of Caledonia]. "1827." [London: John Camden Hotten; the last two digits of the real date are reversed.]

The worst, and most badly faked and anglicized, with much additional bawdy music-hall verse not collected by Burns, nor even Scottish, are Hotten's "1827" edition and its dozen or more reprints, of which the last (?) is dated 1930 facing the title page. Note: All editions omitting the words "of Caledonia" from the title are variously faked and abridged, except that published by Charles Skilton; London: Luxor, 1967. Warning Note: All editions omitting the words "of Caledonia" from the title have variously faked and abridged texts. (See: Bibliography in type-facsimile edition by G. Legman, New York, 1965.)
 

The Merry Musician, or A Cure for the Spleen. 1716. London. 2 vols. Late drollery collection competing with Pills to Purge Melancholy.

The Merry-Thought, or The Glass-Window and Bog-House Miscellany. 1731. London. 4pts., 12mo. By "Hurlo-Thrumbo." (Bodleian Library, Oxford, W. N. H. Harding Collection; incomplete copies, British Museum Library, and Harvard University.)

Usually known as The Bog-House Miscellany, this is the original graffiti collection (but compare: Priapeia), including verse and drawings taken, as the title states, from diamond scratchings on tavern glass windows and writings on the walls of privies or "bog-houses." The Merry-Thought is properly "the part of a chicken that goes over the fence last." Not to be confused with the obscœna (but not graffiti) collection, The New Boghouse Miscellany, or A Companion for the Close-Stool (1761: copy, G. Legman), reissued with title expurgated to The Wits' Miscellany in 1762. A probably similar Papers for the W.C., printed on toilet paper, was issued in Leipzig, c. 1876, but no copy is now known. Compare: Flushed!; McLEAN; and READ.

Oxford University, Oxford, England.

("House books" or student-albums of poetry and similar, are kept and added to in manuscript at most of the colleges at Oxford, as at other great universities in England and at fraternity houses at colleges such as in Harvard (see: Fox Club) in America. These often contain bawdy verse, sometimes original, and topical satire, and are usually not available for public inspection. Also exist in other countries: Italy—see Gaudeamus Igitur—and in Germany: called "Kommers-buchen") See: Fox Club; and Sweet Violets. A study of these "house books" and occasional private publications is long overdue, and has never been undertaken. But see: REUSS; and Lyra Ebriosa; and Sweet Violets; and college and armed-services mimeographica, such as Camp Fire Songs.)

Note: The most interesting broadside ballads in the Pepys Collection were earlier culled by Rollins as A Pepysian Garland (1922) and The Pack of Autolycus (1927), and these are not reprinted in the present 8-volume set, which also omits many of the ballads in the actual collection preserved at Magdalene College, Cambridge University.
 

PERCY, Thomas. 1867. Bishop Percy's Folio Manuscript. [c. 1643]. Edited by F. J. Furnivall and J. W. Hales. London. 4 vols. 4to.

(British Museum Library, Add. MS 27,879)  The Percy MS. dates from about 1643.  On Percy and the editing of his Folio Manuscript, see further: G. Legman, The Horn Book (1964), pp. 343-346.  Compare: Parker Folio Manuscript (1971). The four volume first edition was issued as a large 4to set (65 copies on Whatman's Ribbed Paper) and as Royal 8vo (50 copies on Whatman's Ribbed Paper).  A three volume set, without the "Loose & Humorous Songs" fourth volume, was available for a much lesser price.  See advertisement listing sets & limitations.
 

__________.1968. Same. Detroit: Singing Tree Press/Gale Pub. Co. 4 vols. in 3, including the Loose and Humorous Songs.

Note: An earlier reprint by the De La More Press, 1905, is cannily divided into 4 volumes, but omits the Loose and Humorous Songs!
 

__________. 1867. Bishop Percy's Folio Manuscript: Loose and Humorous Songs.  Edited by  John W. Hales and Frederick J. Furnival.  London: N. Trübner & Co.  4to.

(Copy: ).  This was purchased separate from the three volume Ballads & Romances issued the same year.  See advertisement of sets available in 1868.
 

__________. 1868. Bishop Percy's Folio Manuscript: Loose and Humorous Songs. Edited by Frederick J. Furnivall. London: Printed by and for the Editor,  8vo.

(Copy: ) This 1868 printing lists only Furnivall as editor.  This volume -- because of the redesigned title page and the omission of Hales name as co-editor of this volume -- is listed as a Supplement in Legman (1990).  This is incorrect. See 1868 advertisement of sets available.

This volume contains the erotic songs marked with three cautionary crosses ††† by Percy in the century-old folio manuscript he discovered and not printed in Percy's Reliques of Ancient English Poetry (1765). This 8vo printing is on wove paper and it seems to be a reissue of the earlier 4to printing but with a different title page.  Copy examined is not listed in the advertisement on the back and may have been privately printed by Furnivall as a way to make money and market the poorly selling sets.

Pills to Purge Melancholy. (Wit and Mirth, or ...). 1719-20. London. 6 vols., 12mo. [Henry PLAYFORD and] Thomas DURFEY, eds.

The last and largest of the drollery collections, overflowing with charming erotic folksongs (and some others), with the printed music. Actually published by Playford, as Wit and Mirth, etc. 1698-1715, in 5 vols., but later reissued under Durfey's name for publicity reasons, and with his own stage-songs placed first as vols. 1 and 2, in 1719-20. Compare: The Merry Musician, or A Cure for the Spleen (1716); and The Musical Miscellany (1729-31), also in 6 volumes.
 

__________. Same. 1872. [London: Pearson or Hotten?] 6 vols., 12mo.

Note: This type-facsimile reprint is sometimes confused with the original, but is easily distinguished by the replacement of the old long-f (for s) by the short modern s throughout. It should also be observed that the Pearson facsimile combines volumes from two different original issues: one with title and headlines as "Wit and Mirth," and the other as "Pills, etc." See further: G. Legman 1959, Pills to Purge Melancholy, Midwest Folklore 9:89-102, and Preface to edition following:
 

__________. 1959. Same. New York: Folklore Library Publishers. 6 vols. in 3, 12mo.

It is regrettable that this offset reprint was made not from the original of 1719-20 (of which the New York Public Library holds a copy with special frontispieces, etc.), but from the type-facsimile of 1872.

Place, an extraordinary person, a self-educated leather pantsmaker and early birth-control propagandist ("Place's Diabolical Handbills," proposing the vaginal sponge, now again in vogue). Was to have been the head of the revolution brewing in England in 1832, until quashed by the Reform Bill. Here clearly collecting materials toward just such a magistral work as that later achieved in Henry Mayhew's London Labour and the London Poor (1852-61), 4 vols.; reprinted, New York; Dover Pubs. 1965; and an excellent abridgment, Peter Quennell, ed. London: Spring Books, 1955? 3 vols. Overwhelmed by his activities as a politician and agitator, Place's research never went beyond collecting the living materials, of which he left seventy-one volumes. Largely autobiographical, an unmined El Dorado in the British Museum Additional MSS, these volumes are still waiting a century and a half later for an "oral historian" to edit and publish them.

Translation of Les Tendres Epigrammes, de Cydno la Lesbienne (Paris: Sansot, 1911), itself presumably translated from the Greek, in imitation of Pierre Louÿs' immortal literary Lesbian mystification, Les Chansons de Bilitis; but "Cydno" attributed to Nathalie Clifford Barney and/or Renée Vivien ("Pauline Tarn"). The translator, L.

(MS. copies, Dr. C. Scheiner, Brooklyn, N.Y.)

__________. Facsimile reprint of 1680 edition, Princeton University Press, 1950. 12mo, printed on paper watermarked "Private Papers of Thomas Jefferson."

The opening gun of the literary "New Freedom" in America, years before the open commercial reprints of D. H. Lawrence, Henry Miller, and My Secret Life. Edited by the eminent Rocastrian, Prof. James Thorpe, who like his British counterpart, Vivian de Sola Pinto, rocastrifies the canon of the text into nothingness in his notes, by claiming it was all written by someone other than Rochester, such as Capt. Radcliffe, "one Fishbourne, a wretched scribbler" (in fact, an excellent composer of catches), and so forth, thus leaving the purpose of this reprint somewhat obscure. Actually the bawdiest of the drollery collections, with verse by other hands. Compare: Choyce Drollery; Sportive Wit; and WARDROPER. The best edition of Rochester's Poems is edited by David Vieth, Yale University Press, 1968.

Roxburghe Ballads, A Book of Edited by John Payne Collier. London: Longman, 1847. 340 pp. Excellent selection, not identical with Ebsworth's complete edition, following:

__________. 1873-74. Same (selections:) The Roxburghe Ballads, edited by Charles HINDLEY. London. 2 vols.

Disloyally undertaken after the complete Chappell-Ebsworth edition (above) had already begun publication, the most valuable item here is the anonymous article [by John Payne COLLIER] reprinted in vol. 1: pp. x-xxvii on "Roxburghe Ballads," originally in The Athenœum (23 and 30 August 1845), and his earlier edition of 1847, ending with the only available discussion of the old "medleys," in which each stanza of a satirical song ends insultingly, in rhyme, with a mocking proverb or catch-phrase. Medleys are not well understood by recent editors, who do not always recognize the proverbial nature of the punchlines. See: SANTACRUZ, below; PURSLOW, Marrow Bones; and particularly WARDROPER, Love & Drollery (1969) pp. xviii-xix and 98-102, Nos. 168, 171, "A Letter from a Lover to his Beloved," and "The Young Man's Careless Wooing, All Done out of Old English Proverbs," and his Notes on these, pp. 258-260.

Walcutt], "The Misfortunes of Fyfe," pp. 260-263, with elaborate anti-Freudian demonstration or reversal, by both authors.

A classic of unconscious humor. Far from being a bawdy ballad with occasional food metaphors, as it appears, this ballad is instead secretly a "coded" celebration of food symbolism, in the line of Lévi-Strauss's "Raw and Cooked" formulations, but hidden beneath its presumably sexual scenario! One trusts this is intended as a leg-pull or farce, on the style of those collected in Metafolkloristica: An Informal Anthology of Folklorists' Humor, "edited by Franz Kinder and Boaz the Clown" (P.O. Box 58183, Salt Lake City, Utah, 1989), the principal editor, "Kinder," being identified, p. 60, as "the advance man for one Jan Harold Brunvand," but who missed this one, probably the most flabbergasting of all.

[Arlington, Texas: John Newbern Co.] 4to, about 100 numbers published. In tandem with: Super Sex to Sexty [edited and published as above], 1967-1976? folio, about 30 numbers published.

Heavily illustrated sex-humor magazines, in the style of but much freer than similar American midwest magazines of the 1920s-to-1950s: Hot Dog!; Jim Jam Jems; Captain Billy's Whiz Bang and Smokehouse Monthly; Charley Jones' Kansas City Laff-Book; the sex-tabloid newspaper Broadway Brevities (q. v.), and the students' college humor magazines published at the universities, to all of which Sex to Sexty was the last main continuator. Not verbally obscene, but heavily off-color, and including much verse and obscœna among the jokes and gags. In small part collected as The Raunchy Reader, 1965; much of the material "too-hot-to-handle" being included in Newbern's own The World's Dirtiest Jokes, 1969, of which the intended title was The Cream of the Crap, q.v. Compare: Jest on Sex, for the milder J. M. Elgart Over Sexteen series and its imitations: Sexations; Sextra Special, etc.
 

SHARP, Cecil. 1974. Collection of English Folk Songs. Maud Karpeles, ed. London: Oxford University Press. 2 vols., lg.8vo, with the music.

Note: Despite the misleading title, includes less than half of the Sharp MS collection of English folksongs and ballads, made from about 1900 to 1922; only 1,165 versions out of 2,470 collected being printed here. (Compare: PURSLOW; and REEVES, who earlier published a few of these texts without the music.) The Sharp MS was purposely withheld from publication for fifty years by Miss Karpeles, Sharp's former secretary and executor, despite all protests, out of recalcitrance to deal with its few very mildly erotic texts. In any case, Sharp had collected only enough to the text of any such songs to display the tunes, his own principal expurgatory interest. (Compare: RANDOLPH.) Copies of the Sharp MS are repositoried at Clare College, Cambridge, England; Harvard University Library; and the English Folk Dance and Song Society, London; and at NYPL and UCLA.

Texts revised heavy-footedly into extra "dirtiness," to live up to the title. Mock-scholarly foreword, p. vii, hits rock bottom in nonfolk humor.

 Refers, p. 32 ff. to the case in 1902, at Peasenhall, Suffolk, of a girl seduced and murdered by a Primitive Methodist elder, who went scot-free owing to evidence that the murdered girl "had been sufficiently intrigued by the pornographic ditties sung by the younger villagers of an evening to request the youth who lived next door to supply her with written copies of these edifying verses." These were made available to the jury in private, but were not read out in open court, and form no part of the record.
 

Snatches & Lays. Songs Miss Lilywhite Should never have taught us. 1962. Edited by Sebastian Hogbotel & Simon ffuckes [pseuds.: Kenneth D. GOTT and Stephen MURRAY-SMITH. Melbourne, Australia.] 82 pp. 4to, mimeographed.

Only the cover, title page, and pp. 28, 38, and 41 are now unique, these including the following items omitted from the printed edition (below) as sacrilegious: "My Heart Belongs to Daddy" (Jesus Christ and Mary Magdalene; noted as from The First Boke of Fowle Ayres, Sydney, 1944), "All the Saints in Kingdom Come," and "Sydney Orr," a topical parody of "Samuel Hall." Not to be confused with the similar Australian mimeo publication of close date, Be Pure! (Argus Tuft's Compendium of Verse). Note: Ian Turner, to whom I erroneously ascribed the editing of Snatches & Lays in Southern Folklore Quarterly (1976) vol. 40:73 ff, did not edit but only contributed to this collection of bawdy student and rugby-team songs. Part of the materials were also placed under contribution from Donald Laycock's similar MS collection, Obiter Dicta, as complained of by him in "Digging Up the Dirt," in National Review (Australia, 20 February 1976). [[Alternate Notes: Not edited by Ian Turner, nor taken from Donald Laycock's similar MS. collection, Obiter Dicta, as complained of by him in "Digging up the Dirt," in National Review (Australia, Feb. 20, 1976).]]

(Copy: G. Legman.) Notable is the attempted division of the songs in the table of contents into levels of "nastiness" by means of a system of asterisks and dashes: "*Very very nasty; — Not so nasty; If they're blank, you can show them to your mother." Note: Owing to the tactical error, at that date, of giving the student society's correct name and address on the title, this work was seized by the authorities and most of the edition destroyed.

Note: A typographically very similar pamphlet of close date also exists, giving all the purple passages from PETRONIUS Arbiter's Satyricon in English translation, to accompany an expurgated 1920s edition. In this case the two title animals are goats. Title page: "Supplement to the Satyricon of T. PETRONIUS Arbiter: Containing Precise Paraphrases of Particular and Peculiar Portions which as a Precautionary Pandering to Prudence, Prudery, Prejudice or Policy were not Permitted to be Present in Previous Publications Produced for the Public, and are now Privately Printed."

Original title was to have been Love and Mirth, or Jovial Drollery. All copies were ordered destroyed by the Puritan authorities on publication. The rarest of the drolleries and one of the most interesting. See "The First Beginning," reprinted by WARDROPER, Love & Drollery, No. 385, the original text of a song now extant only in nursery expurgation, with the (jesting) remark that this sample "will make some readers wish no copy of the book had escaped Cromwell's burning order."

The Yale copy contains an important MS annotation on Eugene FIELD'S editing of this work, and his close escape from legal trouble because of it: "See Luyeneker on the Grand Jury & Gene Field's Books — He recommended an indictment — Freeman was Field's friend & saved him." Date of the book is shown by reference (p. 144) to defeat of Grover Cleveland in the 1888 presidential election, observing that "he will never see Washington again"; thus unaware that he was reelected in 1892. See other internal proofs from dates of Field's erotic writings by 1889, in Harry J. MOONEY, Jr., "The Sub Rosa Writings of Eugene Field," in: Papers of the Bibliographical Society of America (1978) 72:541-552, based on Field MSS in the Denver Public Library, Fieldiana Collection; and elsewhere.

The Stag Party gives a very large repertory of American humorous erotic poems, storiettes, and obscœna, including almost all the erotic pieces by Eugene FIELD, whose classic pornographicum "Only A Boy?" is here first printed. Of contemporary collections, only Select Reading, q.v., approaches this in repertory; and compare: Bibliothèque Erotique; Cleopatra's Scrapbook; The Book of a Thousand Laughs and Select Reading.

A perhaps similar work, The Proceedings of the Sackahoominy Society [Boston, Mass.] 1860, 12mo, is noted in Clowes's Bibliotheca Arcana (1885) no. 517, but no copy is known and this may have been of erotic tales only, without verse, except in the stories, as with Randiana, q.v. On the early Italian origins of these erotic and burlesque "academies," see G. LEGMAN, The Horn Book, pp. 384, 476; and Gaudeamus Igitur, here.

The "Wrecks": An Anthology of Ribald Verse , c. 1933. Collected at Reno. Privately Printed for Subscribers Only. [Reno, Nevada]. (3), 192 pp., sm.4to, bound in black plush.

(Copies: University of Nevada, Reno; Dr. Arthur Deex, Los Altos, Calif.; G. Legman, Dr. Cliff Schiener, Brooklyn, NY.) Bawdy songs and poems divided into "mild" and "raw" sections, for unexplained purposes. Issued by the Reno "Wrecks," a sporting club who from their name seem to be resting up after taking the cure: a main subject of the poems is impotence. Volume is dated by reference, p. 117, to the Depression, and a mocking closing reference to a "Hoover button," referring to the presidential election of 1932. Largely derived from Immortalia, and may have been edited for the club by Thomas R. SMITH, using his rejectamenta from that work in addition to the club's own repertory. Note: Another edition apparently an earlier, shorter collection, entitled in "pig Latin," The X-Ray.
