About This Item
Boston: Nicholson And Whitney / Brownbent Press, 1942. Limited Edition. Plain white cardstock wraps, with a green printed jacket. fading to the spine and back panel of the jacket, else a Very Good copy. One of 1000 machine numbered copies; this being 001210. Contains 50 bawdy limericks -- mainly classic obscene historic limericks with commentary, often with the theme of buggery or rape. Of special note is the introduction by Douglas in which he notes "I am fully convinced that nobody under the age of ten should peruse these pages, since he would find them so obscure in places that he might be discouraged from taking up the subject later on, which would be a pity.... A boy of ten is as sagacious and profound as one of eighteen, and often more intellectual." Given the content of the limericks it should be also be noted that Douglas was accused on numerous occasions of pederasty and child rape. From the library of Patrick J. Kearney.
