The Amorous Adventures of a Lady of Quality: The Erotic Classic

The Classic Work of French Erotica! From the text: "By the circumstances of the story which I am going to relate, you will be convinced of my candour, while you are informed of my indiscretion. You will be enabled, I hope, to perceive, that, howsoever my head may have erred, my heart hath always been uncorrupted, and that I have been unhappy, because I loved, and was a woman. If I bore the reader, then I am sorry, but it is only just that I should have my revenge for once: I have yawned over so many books in my life! Up to the present, my literary baggage has been confined to a few letters, which, I must confess, were found charming, not to say brilliant, by those for whom they were destined, but as all men,--I say all--make open profession of their imposture with regard to women, their praises (the ordinary method of seduction), no longer flatter my vanity. One of the advantages of a life of amorous intercourse is that it gives experience, and perhaps that is not the only one."
