The Romance of Lust

A classic Victorian erotic novel, not the produce of a single pen, but consisting of several tales, "orient pearls at random strong," woven into a connected narrative by a gentleman well known as having amassed one of the most remarkable collections of erotic pictures and bric-a-brac ever brought together. He was also an ardent traveller, and The Romance of Lust was composed during a voyage he made to Japan. As one review put it: It is not boring and dragging as with some books. It was written plainly and straight to the point as to capture your imaginations.
